DamGoode Bookclub 1) The Happiest Kids in the World - Unpacking Dutch Parenting

Why are Dutch children consistently ranked as some of the happiest in the world? In this first installment of the DamGoode Bookclub, hosts Eva and Maren are joined by award-winning librarian and author Elizabeth Goode to dissect the iconic parenting guide, The Happiest Kids in the World.

From the "three R's" (rest, rhythm, and routine) to the famous Dutch teenage independence, we take a warm, honest, and direct look at what actually works in the Dutch parenting model—and what feels foreign to those of us raised elsewhere. As three mothers navigating life in the Netherlands, we share our personal reflections on integrating these local values into our own international homes. Whether you’re curious about the "hagelslag" culture or looking for practical strategies to lower your parenting stress, this episode offers a deep dive into the secrets of the Dutch upbringing. Note: While the English version is a global bestseller, check your local OBA for the Dutch edition!
