    Why does Denmark have the happiest people on earth? Jessica Joelle Alexander @jessicajoelle_ who is a Danish parenting expert thinks it's because of the Danish Way of Parenting. It is how the Danes raise their children that makes them grow up to be happy and smart at the same time. Happy children grow up to be happy parents who raise happy children.
    For the last 40 years, scientific researchers have declared that the Danish people were the happiest on earth. Not only is Denmark the happiest country, but one of the smartest. Mensa ranks Denmark #5 based on the number of geniuses per capita. Today we are here with Jessica who is also the bestselling author of a new book, The Danish Way.
    She’s uncovered the real secret to the Danes’ happiness and is here to tell us how we can cultivate our own happy children.
    Some believe that this way of parenting is not something that can be easily recreated and imported in other parts of the world because like for example, Denmark has a very good social system that greatly helps the development and growth of its people. However, Jessica believe otherwise. She believes that if we can raise the children and teach them more empathy, for example, among the other things, the Danish Ways, that they teach them in Denmark, our children will grow up to change the system too.

    Most of what Mrs. Alexander talks about is implimatet into the danish daycare system, and the adults there actually have a ba degree to be there they are called paedagogues, they know its important to teach emphaty and other social skills, its also important to give the child selfestime, to give the child curiosity to the world around it, and let it try out different things so the child get experiences, trusting they are able to learn fromt it.

    Whe don't receive grades until we're around 14, up untill then we just get some remarks from the teacher on the paper when we get it back, usually a couple of questions like (why do you think so and so?) like maybe about 10 lines or something and maybe a couple of corrections as well.
    But when we start getting grades we still get some remarks from the teacher that we can use to reflect on, or remember for the next essay

    • @IngeniousBaby

      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)

    • @KenschenDK

      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.

    Children are naturally kind and empathetic they do not need to be taught they need to be praised when they do it but it is natural. We are born loving and caring and interested and appreciative and it is squashed by stressed, inexperienced parents. Many cultures have good ways of living someone write a book about the best stuff and share it ASAP.

      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.

At most you need to speak and read the language - and even if you can´t manage that you can get by with english.
