DISCOVER THE FINNISH SECRETS TO RAISING CONFIDENT, RESILIENT, AND HAPPY CHILDREN
 

Perfect for those who loved 'The Danish Way of Parenting' and 'The Whole-Child Brain'

What do the happiest people in the world do to raise the world's happiest children?
More importantly, what can you learn from them?

In Finland, consistently ranked among the happiest countries in the world, parenting is shaped by sisu: a quiet strength that values steadiness over control, trust over pressure, and resilience built through setting boundaries and navigating everyday life with purpose and clarity. In How to Raise the World's Happiest Children, leading Finnish child psychiatry expert Kaija Puura shows how families can apply these principles to support children's wellbeing and development.

This book, and this way of parenting, isn't built on trends or quick fixes; instead, it's a reassuring hand on the shoulder, showing you how love and limits can co-exist and how children thrive when they feel safe and capable. Grounded in everyday situations, How to Raise the World's Happiest Children offers practical, non-judgemental guidance on the moments that shape childhood - handling toddler tantrums, building routines around meals and bedtime, navigating transitions and protecting time for free play.
