The Danish Way Every Day | Jessica Alexander (Bonus Episode)
About this episode
Diane Boden interviews Jessica Joelle Alexander about Danish parenting and the philosophy behind Denmark's happiness.
For years, Denmark has consistently ranked among the happiest countries in the world. But according to parenting expert and cultural researcher Jessica Joelle Alexander, that happiness isn't about chasing success or avoiding hardship - it's about raising children who feel secure, capable, and comfortable with who they are. In this episode, Diane sits down with Jessica to discuss her book, The Danish Way Every Day , and the parenting philosophy that has made Denmark a source of fascination for families around the world. After marrying a Dane and noticing stark differences between Danish and American parenting, Jessica set out to understand what was driving those differences—and how they shape children's long-term well-being.
