German Childhood + Self-Reliance 🇩🇪 Are Kids More Independent Here than in America?

Before we moved to Germany from the USA, we thought we had pretty athletic, active kids. But compared to German kids, we have found we've got a lot of catching up to do! In general, German kids are super outdoorsy, active, and athletic. They also experience a lot more independence (kindliche Selbständigkeit) than our kids did in the USA with being able to ride bicycles and walk all over town and take public transportation. We have definitely found that parenting in Germany is different than in the USA. In this week's video, you'll see how our American kids have become stronger, more self-reliant, and independent since moving to Germany!

//ABOUT US//
We are a family of six, with four kids and a cat 😹, who moved from the USA to Germany in February of 2021 to pursue our dreams of adventure, travel, learning another language, and integrating into German life. We hope you enjoy our videos about our journey to integrate - the highs and the lows of being foreigners on the adventure of a lifetime.
