The Happiest Kids in the World: How Dutch Parents Help Their Kids (and Themselves) by Doing Less by Michele Hutchison, Rina Mae Acosta

3.0

---

This book provides an interesting look at Dutch culture through two foreign moms living in the Netherlands. I approached the text as a teacher rather than a parent, and I felt the “help” was superficial and supported by weak generalizations. If you want to learn a bit more about Dutch culture, then this is an interesting read. If you are looking for parenting advice, skip to the conclusion chapter and pick up a couple gems there. Overall, my opinion of the book is just meh.
