The Happiest Kids in the World: How Dutch Parents Help Their Kids (and Themselves) by Doing Less

The Happiest Kids in the World: How Dutch Parents Help Their Kids (and Themselves) by Doing Less
- Experiment
- Language: english
- Binding: paperback
Discover how Dutch parents raise The Happiest Kids in the World!

Calling all stressed-out parents: Relax! Imagine a place where young children play unsupervised, donâ€™t do homework, have few scheduled â€œactivitiesâ€ . . . and rank #1 worldwide in happiness and education. Itâ€™s not a fantasyâ€”itâ€™s the Netherlands!

Rina Mae Acosta and Michele Hutchisonâ€”an American and a Brit, both married to Dutchmen and raising their kids in the Netherlandsâ€”report back on what makes Dutch kids so happy and well adjusted. Is it that dads take workdays off to help out? Chocolate sprinkles for breakfast? Bicycling everywhere?

Whatever the secret, entire Dutch families reap the benefits, from babies (who sleep 15 hours a day) to parents (who enjoy a work-life balance most Americans only dream of). As Acosta and Hutchison borrow ever-more wisdom from their Dutch neighbors, this much becomes clear: Sometimes the best thing we can do as parents is . . . less!
