biography

Nothing is known about her youth and childhood. Her brother is Sven-Harry Karlsson, the founder of the Sven-Harry's (also Sven-Harry's ) art museum in Stockholm.

She is the mother of seven grown daughters and one grown son, to three men. One son died shortly after birth. Wahlgren was married seven times, to a man twice.

criticism

Various of the methods and theses propagated by Wahlgren are controversial, including in particular "nudging" and her views on smoking and alcohol during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

One of her daughters, Felicia Feldt, dealt with her mother's upbringing methods in her 2012 book Felicia försvann ("Felicia Disappeared") and accused her of mistreating her children.
