For Example my grandson . When he was 3 years old , my daughter has an accident and was lying on the floor and couldn't stand up or move. He ran over to the neighbors house and ask for help . with only 3 . Our kids learn to be independent at a very young age .

I am a German grandmother and I agree with you: Most of the German parents really do a good job. And those who don´t are persons who are not able to do it better. Thanks for your positive video!

As a German who does not have kids, all of this this makes me really happy to hear!

German kids are not only kind, they are Kinder. ;D

Mir ist es schon einige Male passiert, dass mir Schülerinnen und Schüler in der Strassenbahn sehr höflich ihren Sitzplatz angeboten haben. Ich habe mich natürlich genauso höflich dafür bedankt.

So the kids in Germany are still raised in a good manner? So glad to hear that.

Greetings from Nürnberg. 👋 It was similar when I was growing up in the 70s. My mother always told us that we had to be home for dinner at 6 pm. 😁.

Great video.For the first 5 years I grew up in Germany before coming to the US. I don't remember being well behaved, I probably was, had to, because my parents had a child back guarantee. (just a joke)

I am very impressed how good German kids are at speaking German. I never learned the half of what they have learned. 😂

In my opinion, parents are there to support and accompany their children on their way to an independent life in the best possible way - but not to do everything for them and make every decision for them! Children are not the property of their parents! For me, it's an essential part of growing up that children have the opportunity to make their own decisions - even if they are definitely wrong. You learn from your mistakes - and this learning begins at an early age... I worked for 14 years as a self-employed childminder in a two-room apartment rented for this purpose right next to my own House - and during this time I looked after 5 children under the age of 3 every day; sometimes schoolchildren too, but this was rather rare. From this experience, I can say that it is essential to let children go their own way - as long as it doesn't become dangerous. You can trust children to do things; sometimes you are surprised and amazed at what an early age children develop a sense of right and wrong, dangerous or not dangerous and also social interaction with other people (regardless of age). On the subject of homeschooling: interacting with other children is enormously important for the development of healthy social skills - but this is taken away and denied to them if they are not allowed to attend "normal" school! Numerous studies have shown that many such children/young people tend to exhibit anti-social behavior and are much less able to fit into society - and that can hardly be the parents' wish or goal... Therefore, in my opinion, the motto is: "I am there to accompany you on your way. Try it on your own - but be sure that I am always there to help and hold your hand. Explore the world according to your ideas - and if you don't know or understand something, I'm here to explain. You may still be little - but you have rights that I will demand for you and make sure that they are respected. You are a gift - and I am the one who protects this gift without restricting it." I raised my own son according to this motto and, in consultation with their parents, my numerous daycare children too - and I would never (want to) do it any other way... ^^

...sollte eigntlich ganz normal sein. Das ist das Spiegelbild der Eltern. Sehr schön danke.

The bike riding at a young age might be because lots of german kids start with a „Laufrad“. It‘s a bike without pedals. You „run“ with it. It helps to learn the balance of a bike. And then, when they are ready, they can seamlessly ride a normal bike without much training or training wheels. It‘s great!

You look great, so glowy 😊😊😊

Hallo Antoinette, du erstaunst mich immer wieder mit deinem positiven Bild über die Deutschen. Und gerade was dir bei den deutschen Kindern aufgefallen ist, lässt angesichts der Zustände in unserer Gesellschaft momentan (und damit meine ich nicht nur das, was wir unseren Kindern während der Coronazeit angetan haben) ein bisschen Hoffnung aufkommen. Auf jeden Fall scheint es so zu sein, dass die Deutschen ihren Kindern noch Werte vermitteln. Ich denke aber, dass das auch in anderen Ländern und Kulturkreisen so ist. Obwohl das sicher in den ganz armen Ländern wie auch im überbordenden Kapitalismus in den USA, situationsbedingt noch etwas anders sein wird als in Deutschland. Ich finde es sehr schön dass du das Thema angesprochen hast. Ich bin mir ganz sicher, dass deine Kinder sich auch fabelhaft entwickeln werden. Denn du hast nicht weniger Empathie und Fürsorglichkeit für deine Kinder wie die Eltern der Kinder, über die du berichtet hast. LG {Hello Antoinette, you never cease to amaze me with your positive image of the Germans. And what you've noticed about German children in particular gives me a bit of hope in view of the conditions in our society at the moment (and I don't just mean what we did to our children during the coronavirus period). In any case, it seems that Germans are still teaching their children values. But I think that this is also the case in other countries and cultures. Although this will certainly be somewhat different in the very poor countries, as well as in the exuberant capitalism in the USA, than in Germany, depending on the situation. I think it's great that you have addressed this topic. I am quite sure that your children will also develop fabulously. Because you have no less empathy and care for your children than the parents of the children you reported on.} Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Wollen wir hoffen, dass der Umgang mit Kindern in Deutschland einigermaßen freiheitlich bleibt. Denn leider sind auch hierzulande sog. "Helikoptereltern", die ihre Kinder überbehüten und ihnen nichts alleine zutrauen, ein Thema geworden.

confident & capable - what a nice wording 🫶🏻

Enjoyed this

I enjoyed this video. 😊❤

Danke!

Great video

thx for sharing your observations

yes, yes, yes, yes, yes 👍

It's nice of you to point all this out - I think it's all pretty obvious - but does that mean that New Zealand children don't behave like this?

Was Du hier beschreibst, ist die relativ heil gebliebene Welt einer ländlichen Gegend oder Kleinstadt. Ich denke, in deutschen Großstädten bzw. Ballungszentren stellt sich die Situation leider etwas anders dar.

Heute habe ich meine Enkelin (6) gefragt ob sie den Unterschied der Begriffe „ das selbe“ und „ das gleiche“ kenne. In der englischen Übersetzung werde beide Begriffe mit „ the same“ angegeben. Das selbe ist nicht das gleiche. Meine Enkelin konnte genau es erklären. Today I asked my granddaughter (6) if she knew the difference between the terms "the same" and "the same". In the English translation, both terms are given as "the same". The same is not the same. My granddaughter was able to explain it exactly.

Great Video! :)

Darn wow Luca is 3

Careful with Roblox! Yeah, this can be fun to play with, but due to the structures of internally marketed user content and monetization, there have been big issues in that game. I'm talking kids organized into dev teams with work schedules and before you know it, your kid is burned out from overwork because they stumbled into an exploitative scheme where they got promised a little bit of money and then sunk every waking hour into what aught to be a regulated job for an adult programmer. This self-exploitation is dangerous and can turn their dreams of making fun games into a self-destructive spiral of overwork and exhaustion before they're out of school. You need to watch carefully what your kid is doing on Roblox. This game lives on kids making stuff, and the owners don't care if kids get burnt making that stuff.

See, we can do some talk, when it's needed or substantial....🤷

All kids can be kind, but German kids are Kinder... 😅

Früher hat man Deine Kinder oft hier gesehen. Akuell leider gar nicht mehr. Schade.
