Emotionally Intelligent Parenting with Stephanie Pinto 84: This is How the World’s Happiest People Raise Kids: Danish Parenting with Jessica Joelle Alexander.
What if the secret to raising calm, confident, and connected kids has been quietly thriving in Denmark this whole time?? (It's been ranked in the top 5 happiest countries for over 40 years!)
Not in a high-tech lab. Not in a parenting trend. But in a culture that consistently tops the charts as the happiest in the world.
This week on the Emotionally Intelligent Parenting Podcast, we’re diving into The Danish Way with bestselling author and cultural researcher Jessica Joelle Alexander.
If you’ve ever wished parenting could feel more peaceful, less like a power struggle, and more like a partnership—this episode is your warm, welcoming invitation.
And guess what? Her brand-new book The Danish Way Everyday is out THIS week! So if you're into calm, connected parenting (I know you are), go preorder your copy right after you finish this episode. 💛
In today’s episode, we chat about the powerful principles behind the Danish PARENT acronym:
✅ Play
✅ Authenticity
✅ Reframing
✅ Empathy
✅ No ultimatums
✅ Togetherness
and how you can use these tools to raise emotionally intelligent kids without constant power struggles.
We also dive into something super timely: raising responsible digital citizens. Jessica shares how a trusting, emotionally safe relationship with your child is the real safeguard in today’s digital world—not just rules and restrictions.
From building calm daily rhythms to creating more hygge moments, this episode is like a warm cup of tea with a side of parenting wisdom.
