Summary of Rina Mae Acosta & Michele Hutchison's The Happiest Kids in the World

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I, too, had a love-at-first-sight romance with a Dutch boy named Bram, who was studying abroad in Florida when we met. We had a modern twist on a traditional romance, with him sending long handwritten letters as well as frequent emails and phone calls.

#2 I was apprehensive about moving to the Netherlands and having a Dutch baby. I wanted my son to have a happy childhood, so I bought into the perfect-mom myth and devoured all the (unsolicited) advice on what to do and what not to do in pregnancy.

#3 The Dutch approach to parenting is to do your best, and to not worry about being perfect. They understand the messiness and imperfections of life, and they value authenticity and genuineness.

#4 Dutch birthdays are more about celebrating togetherness. The guests start by congratulating the parents and grandparents of the birthday boy, as well as the child. The Dutch expect you to congratulate everyone in the room.
