If you are old enough to safely cross the street, you are old enough to go out on your own. A Dane.

Same thing in most of the EU .

My 11 year old felt incarcerated, when he was 3 months abroad. As he described it: Mum, I couldn't go anywhere! I had to be taken - to school, to friends, everywhere. You know, when you're used to jump on your bike and go where ever you like. I was in jail!

[@TukikoTroy]

I'm not sure if it is Denmark, but there are countries in Europe that have their kindergartens out in the woods. Kids go out to play even if it is raining. They learn how to light fires, how to use knives and axes. They are allowed to climb trees, I've seen kids twenty, thirty feet up a tree. And these are kindergarteners.

[@charpost62]

we do that here

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

It’s definitely true. Of course we go out in the rain. It’s a rainy country and kids would rarely play outside if rain was an issue. Rain clothes are great! I had my own apple tree in my yard that I build a house in when I was a kid. We’re a very active people and we love being outside.

[@MrLarsgren]

just search Denmark's Forest Kindergartens

[@kennethAmos8929]

We have that in Denmark

[@longform]

Maybe it's Sweden. they have babies in kindergarten sleeping outside even during winter. It worked on my kids really well. I'm from Slovenia from the city and we have it somewhere in between. We do have a class in kindergarten with playground and so on, but they go in the woods and plant flowers and trees and they are making tools out of twigs and stuff. They also interact with animals and so on. I can't even imagine how expensive this level of daycare would be in the US.

[@justmaria]

I think that most of the topic brought up are common in Sweden too. In fact same goes for Norway and Finland too.

All 7 points can pretty much be summed up with: Danes are pretty casual about stuff...

[@petragrevstad2714]

I live in Sweden. I always left my babies outside if they were asleep when we arrived home, didn’t want to wake them up by starting to take off clothes and stuff, and they always slept very good out in the fresh air. I had a baby monitor so I could hear when they woke up. But I didn’t do that in towns and stuff, only at home or at someone else’s home when visiting. I don’t think they steal babies here but I wouldn’t feel it was safe to leave them unattended outside stores and such.

[@TainDK]

At the store you would bring the buggy inside right? Maybe that has changed. But at a café where you can up and leave as soon as you hear the monitor, i wouldn't think there would be a problem. Like when having mom groups during parental leave meating up at a café =D

[@petragrevstad2714]

@@TainDK Yes, apart from at home or friends’ houses, I brought the buggy with me. I wouldn’t even leave it outside the local store. If I did, I think there probably would be a gathering outside around the buggy when I was back, people calling the police and child protection 😂. People don’t leave babies unattended for here. They probably could in many public places, thinking safety, but it’s not something people do.

[@regineb.4756]

In most European countries it‘s quite common for first graders to walk alone to school and pre-schoolers do it, too. We also often have quite adventurous playgrounds, where the little ones can climb high and the mothers just sit on benches and chat with each other. From Germany.

[@jeffmorse645]

I was in kindergarten and first grade in Northern California in 1965/1966. We lived about three or four blocks from the elementary school in a small town and I always walked it alone each morning, rain or shine (had a yellow raincoat for the wet days). So did all my classmates who lived within walking distance of the school. Just a different world back then. I don't think that changed until the late 1970s in the US.

[@andreasvestergaard5939]

in america you have fear for your kids life just by sending them school... Denmark is a very nice place we are lucky

[@AxelKuno]

I was nine years old when I took my first trip to Bornholm alone which includes taking a bus to Sweden the neighboring country and boarding a ferry there. I didn't know exactly where to go so my mom asked a kind stranger to help guide me from the bus to the ferry and then my friend would pick me up at the ferry terminal at the end, and when I went home again I was completely alone now fueled with the knowledge of where to go :D Ended up taking that trip almost every vacation

[@scar445]

I was left outside in the pram as a child. My mom explained it to me as the fresh air being good for me, and literally sitting less than 3 feet away, seperated by thin glass. had something happened, that chair would have cleared a way throug hthe window for her. My parents did NOT enjoy each others company after their divorce, but they still got together for me and my brothers birthday and such. for our sake

[@Sigart]

Considering divorce, just to add some perspective: it's seen as ideal and "mature" for the parents to accept co-parenting and letting it dissolve into actual disputes that affect your children is considered really immature. You should, as an adult, be able to set aside your own personal feelings on any matter to have your child(ren) be the least adversely affected. That being said, it was just recently brought up that if the situation _does_ dissolve and one parent starts accusing the other of something untowards, the institutions and authorities in charge are just... woefully unable to resolve that situation. There was a story about a father who hadn't seen his child for 2 _years_ because the mother accused him of having picked up a drug addiction again. With no proof. That's just. I really thought it worked better than that. Just saying that even if divorce isn't stigmatised and people are expected to be adults about it, it still goes wrong

[@curmudgeon1933]

...the recent Supreme Court decision is going to massively worsen the situation. Children, and their parents, will suffer.

[@geoffpriestley7001]

At 7 years old i use to go to school 1 mile walk just me and my brother if it was bad weather and we had the money we caught the bus not a school bus

[@EL-fd4fk]

Nobody steals babies in Denmark.

[@rickardelimaa]

5:03 - divorce - and 11:05 - trust in their kids - are related. We Scandies are brought up to be individuals that can take care of themselves, which creates a loose connection to their family. So having a divorce doesn't mean it will involve the whole family, only the two individuals. Of course, there is a backside. A lot of Scandies are alone. I even had a friend of mine ask me how one should go about to get new friends, when he was about to move.

[@TainDK]

Tell them to join a club of interest - when we are in a setting with others and we have a common interest or goal, we are also in a space where socialisation is acceptable outside existing friend groups, this club does not need to be a team sport, it can be, but it can also be a solo thing in a group setting like a course to make glas art. Going out (drinking) however is not often a tool for making anything but drinking bodys or a "companion" for the night =D

[@larsrons7937]

_"The parents in Denmark..._ (goes for all the Nordic countries) _...have a lot more trust in their kids..."_ True, we have much trust in our kids. For one reason it's very safe in the public space. Another reason could be that we, more than merely teaching the kids what is right or wrong, teach them how to learn for themselves what is right or wrong. In school for example we only to a small degree teach the kids direct information, instead we mostly teach the kids how to by themselves obtain the information they need.

did you here a Dane was arrested for leaving the stroller outside, and the Judge would not believe that it is normal in Denmark

[@zymelin21]

yes, it was a black girl w. a danish passport, and the state of New york was trying to railroad her (and her child), took the embassy and lawyers the get her and the baby on the first possible plane out of the USA. Reckon she will never come back!!

[@drumstick74]

Was interesting to see your reactions as an American. 🙂 Subscribed! PS: They had most of the facts right, except the Christmas dinners with workplaces: It is not a *rule* to get drunk ─ you decide yourself. But it's not frowned upon either ;) /A Dane

[@ZnakeTech]

Also significant others are sometimes invited(they usually are where I work), and they tend to get even more drunk than my actual colleagues(although we do tend to get pretty drunk). I work at a place where the average age is close to 40, so it's probably a case of "finally a night out without the kids!".

[@camillasaltoftpedersen8763]

The Cartoon is called “John Dillermand” and it is hillarious🤣 you should react to John Olivers take on it.

Something I also remember: it's common in Japan kids age 6 or 7 to walk to school, go on public transit.

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

It was for my childhood in Denmark so why shouldn't they be doing it in Japan too.

[@thethirdtime9168]

Wrt kids traveling alone - my best friend, way back in school, would take public transport every single day to school from she was 8-9. Every. Day. The ride was 20 minutes, and she was basically sent out the door at the right time and expected to figure it out after the first week. My wife, as well, had a 25 minute walk through a forest to and from school, and she was just sent on her way. A lot of people will just bike to school, even up to 10 miles - I personally wasn't allowed as I lived near a dangerous road where many accidents had happened, but it's just the norm. We also don't punish teens for not being at school during the day, and curfew is relaxed in many homes - the first time my teen sims where taken in for not being at school I was flabbergasted.

[@A_human-o6t]

Btw going with a train alone is actually normal here from the age of 7 or 8+ so Yea i went alone on a train at age of 7

I could comment on many of those (Frenchman in Denmark here, divorced from a Danish woman with one kid), but to keep it short I'll provide extra context on "what happens at julefrokost stays at julefrokost". In theory yes, but January is still the best month to sell your home, because a lot of freshly did forced people are on the market, courtesy of julefrokost slip-ups...

Well. I'm Danish and I can tell you that the thing about kids going to school on their own and such is starting to change. I have always driven my daughter. I think the mutual trust in people in the society is in decline. Danish society is not as homogeneous as it used to be and some incidence has happened to start the change, unfortunately 😏

From a dane, this was pretty accurrate! My favorite swearingword is certainly english (F…H…)!

[@rikkejohansen9132]

Gonna say this is VERY stereotypical.. you are NOT encouraged to drink your brains out, it's just somewhat accepted if you do chose to do so.. it's also not true that spouses are never allowed at julefrokoster, it's mainly a thing where your company pays for the party and dont wanna pay double for +1s.. and what happens at the julefrokost certainly does NOT stay at the julefrokost if anyone but the involved parties get a wiff of what's going on.. julefrokost season is also divorce season.. We do NOT walk around butt naked everywhere always.. there are certain beaches that allows nudity, topless is allowed on all beaches but full nudity isnt.. I do absolutely believe we have a more relaxed attitude towards nudity than Americans do, but this video makes us sound like we just like to flash ourselves everywhere all the time particularly if there's children around which is very far from the truth.. however I do agree we probably sexualize nakedness much less than Americans.. 'it's just a body, it's natural' is probably a rather common pov.

To be honest, the figure with the long penis did create a lot of controversy in Denmark.

[@akyhne]

That with the swearing is not entirely correct. We don't use English swear words because they are easier to say, because they are a different language. Some of them are just easier to say, or sounds better (harsher). Like "fuck" is easier to say, than "for helvede". If French was our second language, we wouldn't use their swear words, as they sound dull.

Some of it is a little exaggerated, but may happen. Babies sleep outside in a pram. Children go alone to school in public transportation but about 10 - 11 after parents have escorted them to teach them how to do. Some do divorce and are still friends thats common. A lot of sex partners are not that common and nudety outside was more normal in the Flower Power time. Other than that I think that Danes are very direct in their approach and answers which can be taken as rude but is not. All the bad words we learn from American movies.
