If you are old enough to safely cross the street, you are old enough to go out on your own.
A Dane.
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!
All 7 points can pretty much be summed up with:
Danes are pretty casual about stuff...
I think that most of the topic brought up are common in Sweden too. In fact same goes for Norway and Finland too.
Scandinavia is very uniform, we are not really that different :-) all brothers and sisters
@@MC-Racing _"Scandinavia is very uniform"_ yes, and now we are all in the same uniform. Welcome in NATO to our Finnish and Swedish brothers and sisters.
It definitely does go for Scandinavia imo! These two guys just happen to live in Copenhagen 😊👍
@@AshtonishingJelly Copenhagen is in Scandinavia.
@@DonDaddaDanoDaDaneCalledDanno Really?? Didn't know that! 😆😂😜
I live in Sydsjælland, so I'm aware! 😁
That's not what I ment 😘
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.
we do that here
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.
just search Denmark's Forest Kindergartens
We have that in Denmark
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.
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.
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
@@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.
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
...the recent Supreme Court decision is going to massively worsen the situation. Children, and their parents, will suffer.
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
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.
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.
_"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.
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

im from denmark so i love this vid
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
Nothing of what they mention is strange 😁 The same in Norway.
We're sister! What did you expect 🤣 Just that you are SO tall
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.
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
The Cartoon is called “John Dillermand” and it is hillarious🤣 you should react to John Olivers take on it.
It's worth pointing ot that "Dillermand" is a danish silly word for penis.
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
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!".
a little bit safer in Denmark? "a little bit"? lol
IT'S WRONG... The buses are not schoolbuses, but ordenary public transport. so no supervision from adults
did you here a Dane was arrested for leaving the stroller outside, and the Judge would not believe that it is normal in Denmark
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!!
Something I also remember: it's common in Japan kids age 6 or 7 to walk to school, go on public transit.
It was for my childhood in Denmark so why shouldn't they be doing it in Japan too.
US americans are really strange that thinks this (most of it) is strange..
So what part is still strange in your opinion?
Miranda from Travelin Young is such a good story teller 😃
Also English curse words are just about sex, wich is not wrong here, our curse words are like: kræftedme, witch means cancer eat me
No one thinks of that word like that
It is a fact that a Danish couple actually became arrested in the US for leaving their baby outside a restaurant as in home!
She was a Danish actress - I think he was American?
But they seemed to be in agreement on leaving the baby outside of the restaurant.
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 😏
The main issues with walking/ biking to school are
1) centralization (Closing small local schools), making it more difficult for the kids to get to the school on their own
2) parents being pressured on their time, so they need to use the car
That is because of Foreign culture and Foreigners.. And Fear Mongerin from Politicians and tv. 🥴🙄
@@dannybune1194 immigrants!
Kids sleep better outside in the fresh air.Kindergardens do it.😊
yeah, we learn these life skills early. that's nice. most people kinda forget around 18-19 years old though :P
Denmark watching
Yes we be drinking like that. It’s true. That is why we have Systembolaget, Alko etc in the Nordics - sales are heavily regulated bc history tells us we can not behave around alcohol.
* in Sweden
@@Donnah1979 And Norway! I don't know about Finland, but I believe its the same? In Denmark you are able to buy what you want in an ordinary store.
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
The cold air for the babies thing I can relate to. Albeit we were generational farmers (in Denmark), I had asthma as a baby and was exposed (swaddled and left in the snow overnight). Kill or cure in essence but it did the trick..
WHAT?!?
I don't think that is very common though 😅
@@Donnah1979 mm yeah, there are reasons for my speshulness, I promise.
@@Aavnborg Hopefully not lol We were somewhat old-fashioned - it wasn't until my father died [and I was the eldest male in the family] that I didn't have to refer to our matriarchal grandmother in the formal form 'de'. He only died 6 years ago and I was born in '81. 19!! 81. Though sometimes one wonders..
Dane here🇩🇰
@Dar the traveler I'm a dane and when i was a kid i was hugely into roller skates. when i got home from school ( often my parents wasnt even home like 3 hours after i got home) And i took my roller skates on and skated around the entire city for hours untill it was dinner time. after dinner we back at it agein take the roller skates on and skate around the city and this was completely normal :D So ye danish parenting is very trust in not alone your kid but the people around you aswell i supose ? :)
They make danish people😅 sound like we live by cursing and drinking...damn 🤣
There was a baby who was abducted from its carriage in 1966. The boy was never found again.
I’m danish … I just wanna say, I dislike when ppl use foreign curse word comfortablely but frown on using curse word from their own language or replace them with something else … when substituting curse word, imo u might aswell curse, ‘cos that is what u wanna say …
I can ensure u if I substitue the f-word with the danish word for that ppl will def frown!
To me that is ridiculous … u either curse or u don’t
In school (in denmark) i got a test in walking in puplic (i was like 7)
To be honest, the figure with the long penis did create a lot of controversy in Denmark.
yes, i do know what you are saying,
They don't have American problems
Leaving the baby outside while you shop or get a coffee is common in many European countries.
Example of danish humor: "The other day I thought it would be a great, great day for America and the rest of the world... untill I read that it was Ivana and not Donald Trump that had passed away." ;-)
Ohh... and it might supprise you, but we don't have schoolbusses in Denmark like the yellow ones you have in the states.
Most babies are once or twice a day put to sleep outside…… year round!
Nobody steals babies in Denmark.
What's weird about letting a baby take a nap outside?
The US has a higher divorce rate than Denmark though.
From a dane, this was pretty accurrate! My favorite swearingword is certainly english (F…H…)!
Danish humour is speciel in the sence that we can make fun with authorities, politiciens, the police, the royal etc.
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.
You give your kid advises about alkohol because they are going to try it anyway
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.
I think they're on to something.
please react to the video on UA-cam: Let's talk about the dreams of the American worker....
By: Beau of the Fifth Column
Like your absence of reaction for two guys in couple preaching about jesus.
You americans have one ideas about the amount of bonfire of sodom that took place in europe in the name of jesus and the abrahamic god yavhe
those 2 you watch aint danish :D? they are foreigners :D? its like me as a dane saying how it is to be an afroamerican in USA today.. :D you should actruly come visit denmark :D we are friendly and we love being drunk and dumb :D ofcause we have some traditions that seems wierd :D but we pay tax so we can have free healthcare, free schools and people keep saying denmark is one of the happiest countrys in EU.. okay? no one asked me :D? i want to travel but im broke and the danish system keeps lying to me .. but its okay .. i dont care about denmark that much. 33 years and since i started in school at age 6 .. the system failed me.. :D but i aint turning evil or do crime just for my own profit idea of getting money.. i dont care about money that much.. i have no lust to become millionare .. what should i do with all that money :D? 5 houses in bali :D? no thanks .. :D
In DENMARK we have forestille kindergartens 500 kindergartens in DENMARK is in the forestille. In ALL kind of weather. All year round
Is there any possible way that americans who do these videos can get to the point without all that blarney?? or do they just like to hear themselves talk a lot of crap. We need the onfo, but NOT all that other blarney!!
Why do you copy their work?
Typical American.
"Reaction" videos have become popular 🤷🏼♀️
He isn't copying, they get credit this way.
You can simply dislike, ask UA-cam to not recommend the channel, or just move on... 🤷🏼♀️
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.
try to steal a bay in denmark and end op on the hospital for sureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
