Nordic countries are known to be happy - so should we all raise our children like the Scandinavians do? British parent Helen Russell moved to Denmark and was shocked that Danish children play outside in all weathers; are given knives and they're shown how to light matches. In her book <a href="https://www.helenrussell.co.uk/books/how-to-raise-a-viking/">The Danish Secret to Happy Kids: How the Viking Way of Raising Children Makes Them Happier, Healthier, and More Independent</a>, Helen explains why play, risk and independence are the cornerstones of "viking" parenting.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; This series on parenting coincides with Dr Laurie's&nbsp;new free online class, The&nbsp;Science of Wellbeing for Parents which is available now at <a href="https://www.coursera.org/">Coursera.org</a>.
