Description: "Raising kids in America is difficult--no federally supported parental leave, a lack of mental health support, a crushing combination of workplace pressure and aspirational parental perfection, and the fresh hell that is the playgroup Facebook page. But what if there was another way? Parenting--and specifically motherhood--looks wildly different across nations. [This book offers] an around-the-world journey and a practical guide to rethinking parenting. What can we learn from Brazilian birth parties, Singaporean grandparents, and Danish babies sleeping soundly outside of coffee shops? And how can that be integrated into the lives of American readers? Journalist Marina Lopes travels around the globe, interviewing parents and caregivers to provide practical, actionable ways to change the way we view parenting in the United States"--

Review Quotes: "We no longer have to parent alone--Please Yell at My Kids showcases how parenting can be done together to make our children happier and parenting more enjoyable."--Leah Ruppanner, sociologist, podcaster, author of the forthcoming Drained
