3. Don't Judge Family Values
"Children should be seen and not heard." We’ve often heard this phrase when growing up. In Denmark, things work a little differently. Danish children are encouraged to express their opinions from a young age, and will be informed about more adult topics the moment they are old enough to curiously ask about them. To the less liberal among us, these open-minded family arrangements might seem a bit strange. Also, marriage is not a prerequisite and many couples with children life together without ever making the relationship “official” through marriage. This may be a beneficial relationship for both parties. It is not your place to question the family dynamic. Keep an open mind when at public events.
