Episode 26: Play and Our Presence is Enough: The Danish Way of Parenting with Iben Sandahl

Wondering if you're raising confident, capable kids?
Ballet, soccer, piano, extra math, reading tutor - To watch parents today, it feels more like we are tutors and taxi drivers than we are parents. So we brought in guest, Iben Sandahl, teacher, licensed psychotherapist MPF and co-author of The Danish Way of Parenting, to help us understand how the happiest people in the world raise their children. She walks us through the core principles of parenting in Denmark where parenthood centers on presence, trust, respect, freedom and PLAY. This conversation will change the way you think about those after school programs and remind you that most of the time, your presence is all children really need to learn and grow.
