🔵 Danish Way of Parenting. How to Raise Smart and Happy Children - By Jessica Joelle Alexander 

😄

Aw! I love that! My kids like to do that too!

Except for the spelling of hygee. It is actually 'hygge'.

do you have more insights than this video??

@@francis363 It IS spelled "hygge". I'm a Dane, so I should know, right?

​@@Finnec123 Hej Finn, jeg vil det ikke hvis du are joking eller du er forvirret med beskeder :) jeg spørte kun om hvis man har at lære af denne video :) Francisco, Spansk fyr i Aarhus Yes, you probably know how to spell it :) I don't think one needs to be so picky about one word as well. Btw, did you know that is not actually a Danish word? I found this surprising data in the book called Hygge.

@@francis363 I didn't know that. Interesting n

So glad you are finding it useful!

Agreed! Quality over quantity

@@IngeniousBaby Which also is a very Danish value :)

Yessss. I agree. 2021 no moreeee!!!

They have a great social system that is very supportive of families and new moms and so obviously that helps a lot. They also have forest kindergartens. These are very popular and children go from morning to night to the forest in warm suits and they spend the whole day climbing trees, whittling sticks with knives, jumping around on logs, no matter the weather. They’re outdoors from morning to night. And looking at the research this is very, very good for children. One of the things that they really, really encourage up until the age of six is this idea of play. So not over-programming their lives. There is a lot more support between parents there. They’re not checking every milestone as much because they want children to have self-esteem and not base it on this kind of measurements. (Which we sort of tend to get into that in the US sometimes)

Daycare is not required, it's just what most parents do, both because of what they described in the video, but also because both parents either need to go to work or want to go to work. We also have something called "dagpleje (which literally translates to daycare)" that essentially is a daycare in the private home of an educated daycare worker, and they usually do not have a large group of children (maybe around 5 or so), which gives them even more room and time to care for and teach the children. In the larger daycare centers/institutions it's not uncommon that there are more than 60 children, typically divided into groups of around 15-20 and situated in their own room in the daycare center, and of course there are educated adults in all of the rooms. Homeschooling is absolutely allowed, danish law does not dictate that you MUST go to school, rather it dictates that YOU as a parent have a duty to teach your child, and of course there is a curriculum that you're bound by law to teach, math, danish, english etc. etc. I myself went to kindergarten back in the 70s before forest kindergartens were even a thing, and even back then we learned to whittle and bake what we call Snobrød over an open fire (i remember participating in building a bonfire and lighting it when i was around age 6-7), it was just not concentrated and systematized like todays forest kindergartens. Usually children attend kindergarten at the age 3 to 6, and then they "graduate" to what we call fritidshjem, or an SFO that located at the school you go to (which is a somewhat new thing that came about i think around 15-20 years ago if i remember correctly), that is basically a kindergarten for the big kids that just started in school (which we typically do at the age of 6, sometimes 5 or sometimes 7 all depending on when you are born during the year). We also have a few burroughs around the country that started school dedicated to children's way of learning, some learn by books and others learn by doing, these specialized schools are still in their experimental phase and have been for a few years, and the data so far suggest that children the were lost in school before, because of the they learn are actually now at the same level as other children. So there's almost always something new going on and being talked about.

It's more of a 'mindset' to adopt. You might appreciate reading the entire book: amzn.to/498MqSD

This is so true. It all comes down to the interactions.

This is not the problem at all actually, the real problem is that the actual narcissists and bullies out there who usually always start the stuff in the first place just haven't been put in their place sufficiently enough by others or their targets.

Not true. You better teach them not to bite, hit, scream, say no! Take the toy, not share and pitch a fit when they don't get Thier way, because these things all come very naturally. Lol

Lol, yup!! And we're better for it

I grew up in Yugoslavia these people are joke and I am not kiding I would go out at 7am.and come back at 7 pm eat at my friends rode bikes went to lakes.was never left in front of the coffee shop lol

chris ?

hans christian Anderson

Jessica Joelle Alexander (it's also on the interview thumbnail)

@@sulekhaissa746 Hans Christian Andersen - just to make your search on internet a bit easier (I'm Danish and agree completely with every word :-) )

Anab Issa H.C. Andersen. The Disney movie "Frozen" is based on his story "The Snow Queen" which is originally a very deep, dark story. You probably know "The Little Mermaid" from Disney too, but the original story is kind of bleak and sad and very, very beautiful. You should read some of his stories if you have the chance. I think they are literary masterpieces.

Just thinking about it always make me tear up. You can search the tittle here on RU-vid to see some animations of the story. It is a story by Hans Christian Andersen (H.C. Andersen)

@@mikeyb2932 I'm a Dane, i know hes story and all his storyes

I don't understand?

@@IngeniousBaby being Danish is being of the Danish ethnicity. It’s not something you can just assimilate into. You can assimilate into the American culture because it’s multiethnic. So to feel at home in Denmark, you have to look Danish. This is how most of the world works.

@@naverno Er det egen erfaring, du taler udfra?

@@finnchristiansen6625 God pointe. I found your question interesting.

That has got to be some of the dumbest I have ever read, or heard. Not to mention incredibly biased - you can assimilate into any place if you want to, and there is no specific way of looking danish or being danish as such. At most you need to speak and read the language - and even if you can´t manage that you can get by with english.

yes, but it's boring!

@@gruvi5042 true story

No Norway is better

Navah Eierdal yeah sveden is better with your insane “hen”

Looking at the disaster zone that is now Sweden, I find that hard to believe.
