No Hitting Your Kids
Hitting your kids might sound bad from a childless person’s point of view, but even as parents, we think corporal punishment is inhumane. Sweden is totally on board with us on this. In fact, Sweden made it cool not to lay a hand or finger on your kid in any way that means harm, even if you want to discipline them.
Back in 1979, Sweden became the first country on the planet to make corporal punishment and flogging illegal. Today, 35 other countries have joined the no-hitting-your-kids bandwagon. So, how do you discipline your child in Sweden? It’s strange that you had to ask us that.
