Our Kids Have Greater Freedom in Germany? | Unraveling German and American Parenting Approaches

From building fires at school, knives in Kindergarten, challenging personal "risk" at the playground (Deutsche Spielplätze) to mastering public transit and biking alone to school - in this video, we explore the subtle nuances of American child development versus the German parenting style (Erziehung) and why our children in Germany are safer, healthier, more resilient, self-reliant and independent (and Parents are happier too!)

Join us on an enlightening journey as we delve into the subtle, yet powerful aspects of raising children in two different cultures - Germany and the United States. I discuss our journey of "unlearning" the American parenting style and how to embrace the key components of German parenting - a style known for promoting independence, prioritizing outdoor play, and encouraging self-reliance from a young age.

Through our exploration of German parenting style and American parenting style, we're hoping to build bridges of understanding and provide parents all over the world with valuable insights. Whether you are a parent or an aspiring one, a professional in the field of child development, or just curious about different cultures, this video has something for everyone.
