Chaotic Times

Norwegian title: Kaostid

Do you sometimes feel trapped in a blur of sleepless nights, cold dinners, and endless worries while everyone tells you to enjoy every moment? You’re not alone!

In Chaos Time!, Norway’s most popular general practicioner, Kaveh Rashidi, and midwife Aina Haugaard, parents of three children under five, guide readers through the beautiful, maddening reality of raising small children. With humour, honesty, and science-based advice, they tackle everything from bedtime battles and toddler tantrums to family meals, screen time, and how to stay connected as a couple when life feels like a never-ending circus.

Drawing on their medical experience and their own chaotic home life, Rashidi and Haugaard cut through the noise of conflicting parenting advice to help you find your own way — without guilt, pressure or perfectionism. Because while chaos is inevitable, it’s also where connection, laughter and real parenting happen.

Chaos Time! reminds us that three quarters of the time we’ll ever spend with our children happens before they start schoo so maybe it’s time to stop counting down and start finding the joy in the mess.
