This was a great read and really insightful. Some reviewers commented that this advice wasn't practical for the states and I agree but only to a point. Sure, as an Alaskan I won't' be biking to and from work along to road in deep snow 16 miles and I'm not sure I feel that Alaska is as safe as The Netherlands with regards to kids just playing out in public alone, but a lot of what Acosta discusses can be applied to everyday life. The Dutch have a really laid back approach to parenting that focuses on the children respecting their parents and thus being well-behaved and happy. They focus on a more collaborative view and are really open-minded when it comes to their children as individuals. I think if anything, this book is a great reminder that much of the time America doesn't know best. If you have kids or want kids, definitely give this a go. #thehappiestkidsintheworld #bookworm #bookstagram #bookish
