'Environmental parenting' w/ @arcticdad
Fatherhood - A podcast by Fairly Media
Categories:
On the second leg of our lockdown world tour (TM) we're driving our sleds to Tromso, Norway - and the Artic Circle. We're here to meet Rasmus Gyltnes, Instagram's @arcticdad. It was a post of Rasmus holding his baby daughter high in the air, surrounded by the icy expanse of Norway, which caught our attention - especially as we're stuck in suburban Essex... We talk about connection to our natural surroundings, and how to raise future generations to co-exist with nature, looking after one another. And how extreme conditions can bring out the best in us. Rasmus tells us about parenting, Norwegian style, it's freedoms and also strange Big Brother-esque constraints - some families looking over their shoulders at controversial social services policy. And as the season of 24-hour sun rises in the far north of the globe, there's some much-needed sleep tips into the bargain... Follow us @fatherhood_pod on Twitter or Insta, and do check out a gloriously extreme lifestyle and some stunning scenery at Rasmus' account @arcticdad.
