There's reasoning behind the ban of homeschooling, firstly, to allow children contact to their peers, learning how to interact with each other and secondly, to ensure that the children are broadly educated and protect them from not getting bible lessons for home schooling as the desire to homeschool in Germany is mostly popular with extreme religious cults or extreme political views

wild assumptions galore in that. There are millions of people in North America who homeschool - they tend to care more about their kids than a bureaucrat does. Most homeschool parents have a very well rounded lesson plan, and meet or exceed most state standards. They do seek lots of opportunities to socialize their kids. German has a plethora of "vereine" - where this is easily possible - in North America often homeschool kids play on public or private school sports teams. I have 3 kis in the German system - and the extent in which it is failing my 10yr old with some learning issues makes me very much think whether homeschooling might need to be an option. Scared of what might go wrong - not sure that is the absolute best way to approach things

@@stephenmcnamara8318 Well, of course the only way things can happen is the German way, we're talking about Germany after all... So, well, as education is a matter of the single states, not the government, of course they want to ensure that every child is educated to common standards, not to individual interests of children and parents. also many children in other parts of the world suffer from malnutrition and child labor, should Germany also lower it's standards in that area as it is successful in parts of the world? And, having a kid with severe learning disabilities myself, there are enough Special Education programs out there, I was successfully in preventing her to be the subject of laughter as the "inclusion kid" with the normal children, told the head teacher to the face, that she won't be a zoo animal to the "normal" kids.

@@stephenmcnamara8318 1st to be fair, state standards in the US are quite low. My cousin moved there and one of her kids with a mental disability, got her diploma there without being able to properly read until 15 and still struggeling with long sentences (now 23yo). So depending on the state and school district these standards can vary from Hauptschul- to Gymnasiumlevel aand if you train the answers good enough you can pass the standardized tests without even reaching that level. 2nd comparing the US with Germany isn't really working in that regard. Both countries come from an historically different point of view. Germany had a big child labour problem bach in the 17th+18th century. They countered that with rule that children (we're taling 5-12yo) who work need to have at least 10h of school education a week. From that point on it developed the mandatory school education for ervey child got in to the Weimarere constitution in 1919. The US has been a huge country and the government knew from the get go, that it can't build enough infrastructure fast enough. So they didn't made things mandatory and instead put it into the hands of their cititzens, if they think their children should bee in school, it's their responsibility to get them into one. Maybe countries like switzerland are a better comparison, since they also started to have mandatory school in order to protect children from labour/ helping the socially weak. But their system is different and home schooling is an option there. 3rd "the extent in which it is failing my 10yr old with some learning issues makes me very much think whether homeschooling might need to be an option." - Well then apply for home schooling? If you can prove that you're child is unable to attend school due to physical or mental conditions than you can get a permit for home schooling. If you're child has a learning disability and you can prove, that the school system worsen it, you can homeschool your child. It's not impossible to legally homeschool children in Germany, 1 in 1000 children in Germany get homeschooled.

Same here. Although I am carrying around cerealbars for snacks almost all the time.

The very limited opening hours of the kindergartens is something that is primarily the case in Christian conservative West Germany, in the eastern federal states that used to belong to the territory of the GDR, to my knowledge the kindergartens are open much longer, the care of children in general is in East Germany much better and more flexible, since mothers here almost always had to work full-time for a reasonably good life. The kindergarten I used to go to as a little boy in Berlin is still open from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday. In my opinion, many things are now often exaggerated, sometimes a much more normal way and a little less excitement and indignation would be a lot more helpful every now and then, some children are completely overwhelmed by their parents' ambition.

The way you describe modern German mothers made me laugh. It’s really like that. I am a German and grew up in the sixties already with healthy food, down blankets, which my mom put out of the windows every morning; Müsli made out of fresh grains, lots of fresh air while hiking on sundays. Lots of rules except weekends. My mom lived after the war in Spain and knew how to enjoy life. So on saturday. We had Brötchen and 1 hour of TV in the evening after a hot bath. Sundays we had with parents breakfast in bed. Delicious food and sweets. Today Iam grateful to my parents for growing up like that. In such a structure and rhythm. No Antibiotics when we were sick. Only Tea and rest. Bathes with fresh herbs, in bed under lots op blankets. Like sauna. Great! With 24 I went to California. The German perfectionist that I had continued to live as an adult loosened up. I learned to be less judgemental with things. If I would live in Düsseldorf I would love to go with you and your kids to the playground and watch the Öko mums. I am aware today that there is always a way in the middle. But like with many topics Germans tend to take things too seriously and often over do it.

You weren't in the US as a kid when Adam Walsh was kidnapped and murdered, Jimmy Ryce was kidnapped raped and murdered, Amber Hagerman was kidnapped and murdered, and you weren't here for the Ariel Castro kidnappings.

Jimmy Ryce was my nextdoor neighbor. When you have a neighborhood kid kidnapped and then murdered you are going to teach your children about stranger danger.

I am not a parent, but I am well into my third year as a foreign bride to a German husband. And watching parents here is scary for me too but on a different level. We live right opposite a kindergarten and two things spring to mind immediately - kids are gods here. They are allowed to run wild with the explanation that they are just children. This summer the children were given cooking pot lids and ladles and were allowed to bang those outside in the garden and when I approached one of the teachers she told me that this was to encourage them to find their artsy, her choice of words, side. I cannot imagine Haendel discovering his love for music that way ... Oh, and the kindergarten is next-door to a home for elderly people - not particularly compassionate. The other thing which strikes me as odd is how cold parents seem here. When they come to collect their children in the late afternoon no hugs, no kisses, nothing. I can understand this in adults, but how exactly do you teach toddlers to not show any emotions when their mom comes to pick them up?

I also know some of these Ökomums you describe, but living in a more rural area (I think that might be a reason for it), it's a lot less extreme. Sure, kids are playing outside a lot - almost everyone has a big garden and even the small cities around here are very green. But most mums I know tend to mix in a bit of everything: healthy food, but also some sweets from time to time. Wooden toys, but not exclusively. One or two of the expensive cotton clothes, but there are also other options which are less expensive but environmentally friendly (many mums, me included, buy clothing second hand on flee markets or online etc)...

I work in a Kita and Our Hours are 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. So it really depends on the Kita. And I find that Our Hours are quite compatible to working hours

Are you saying German schools give their students food now? Wow. I went to Kindergarten, elementary school and Gymnasium. I never got food. They didn't even offer any food, so it wasn't possible to buy any. The biggest draw for University for me was, that I'd finally be able to buy food. Well, I live in the US for 23 years now and ended up helping with homeschooling of family kids. It's a joke, at least in Ohio. No supervision, no time limits, all multiple choice. They graduated high school without even learning about calculus or stochastic.

Don't feel bad about watching TV alot when you were a kid. I watched alot more TV when I was younger. Now I'm getting ready to eliminate it. To me there isn't much quality in it anymore. TV is much different these days, but I'm writing here from the US. I know you are doing just fine being a parent. But, I will say it will be interesting for you to raise your children in Germany! All will turn out well.

Ah Jena.. it is hard to be a mum, let alone an international mum in Germany. I live in Thuringen and I am a Montessori mama, but here the “hip” thing to be is second hand shopping mama. So “I spend too much” and “kids don’t need new things”.. Sadly many German people are the epitome of my way or the highway, so it is hard to get grey zone nuance. Please make more videos on navigating motherhood in Germany, I would love to see! Also where to find international friends, cause I am unsure where to look.

I did not have a TV the first 4 or 5 years after my son was born - we read together, played together etc. I did not forbid TV as he was often at my Mom or Granny where he could watch TV even if it was limited there, too. I had a kid that I had to wake up at 9 o'clock at the weekend... I am not an Öko - actually I was a computer nerd before my son was born - but I just wanted to keep him off monitors the first years of his life.

Being intimidated by all these mom's and new topics is totally relatable, I was, so much, when I had my first son and there wasn't even a language barrier. And Düsseldorf is, in my opinion, a little over the top on a lot of these topics. At the same time, I think it's "so schade" having mom friends around, specially ones that understand and appreciate your parenting style, your thoughts and struggles, makes being a mom so much easier. Are you attending a mom's group or go to a Treff? There it's easier to meet mom's that have a similar attitude and you can enjoy being around. I do a Eltern Baby Treff and an open, non jugemental atmosphere is most important for me. A lot of mom's made friends there 😊 If you like to try it, I'm sure you find something in your Stadtteil, or you try the smalltown version and visit me, right over the Rhine 😉

Regarding the TV thing: We were never very strict about it, but TV and video don't play a huge part of the family life. Every other day or so, the kids can watch something on the TV or the tablet and about once or twice a month, we have a "pizza and film" night, which means eating home made pizza whilst watching a children's film. However, when they were still very little, and we went to South America (usually once a year) to visit family and friends, in many households the TV was constantly on, just as a background noise. Nobody really cared, but our children were always glued to the screen. Now, them being older (12 and 9), they are able to control themselves, but when they were little, they were just overwhelmed, and it was hardly possible to make them turn their eyes away from the screen.

The kind of people you describe, you'll find everywhere in Germany, but only within the ones who are a bit better off. It almost became the common lifestyle of Akademiker (University graduates) over here. They are totally into Öko. 😂 My advice... If you don't want to spend that crazy amount of money, just get these things second hand. 🤣 Then you will not feel left out from this circle of moms, plus... you will support our environment as well. 😉❤️

Okay, finished glueing my ear back on (I can't sow), so let the comment start😎💛. Jenna, I'll bet you're not the only one being intimidated by some German hardcore moms. Back when I was a kid just very few parents were members of the eco-cult. And nowadays that's what it'd become - a cult. Sure, it's perfectly all right to be eco-friendly but you shouldn't harrass other parents just because their views are a little more relaxed and they won't or can't follow their lead. As you said, it's quite expensive and can't be made the gateway to fit in! In my childhood TV wasn't that much of an issue because we just had three different programmes and were outside with friends all the time. So much of "grandpa's telling his war-stories again"😁😁. I don't know how close you are with other parents when visiting for a playdate for your toddler, but could't you ask them to try to switch to English when you're out of German words? I mean English is taught as a first foreign language in school, so many should be able to speak a little bit of English at least. And that way you both could be uncomfortable and share the experience. As a consequence you might raise their awareness of your unique situation amongst them.💛💛

Ach, Jenna, du bist einfach eine Süße. Dein Mann hat eine gute Wahl getroffen. Meinen Glückwunsch an ihn.

Düsseldorf is famous all over Germany for their bling-bling style and habits. If you see a man sunbathing in Mallorca with a golden necklace and golden sunglasses accompanied by a women in full makeup with diamonds they are probably from Düsseldorf. So the öko- mums with their 200€-cotton-clothed kids fit perfectly in.

The whole eco-mom and TV topic as well as traveling during parental leave is pretty much an upper middle class thing and doesn't represent the majority.

Our school is so understuffed that I really think there are days my kid would benefit from homeschooling. TV and screen time is highly dependend on lifestyle and social context. Thats why there is a huge Stigma on it. You dont want to Park your kid in front of the TV with an academic background. You might make them dumb or at least not smarter. Daycare: I see both sides. Yes parents need more and flexible hours. But children have to be protected too. And it is possible for the most part to have them in daycare less hours. Of course not everyone can, but if you can, you should. Cities are different. My City gives places from 7 to 5 to single parents first than to parents who work full time.

I'm not a parent, but I've had a fair bit of experience of those who are - thanks to working in various schools in the UK and Germany. My impression of German parents is that they tend to be a bit more "pushy" when it comes to their child's education. Especially when their kids have to leave junior (elementary) school at around the age of 10 and are assessed for the next stage of their education. It's quite a big deal if the parents are told that their children aren't intelligent enough for the 'Gymnasium' (grammar school). Reactions range from deep disappointment to refusing to accept the decision. On the other hand, there's a tendency in the UK to move away from the selective school model, and teach kids together regardless of their ability level. I know a lot of British parents who accept this, and even say that they don't like elitism in education.

Don't be intimidated and raise your children as you see fit. Most Germans only talk like that, but in reality they handle their education much more freely. Talking about parenting methods is more like a social exercise. By the way, I also raised my children just according to my feeling and with my love. And today there are two great adult daughters.

I would never raise a child 8n the U.S. , ever! No public transportation, no childaid no motherhood allowance, no Universal health care but horrible housing and food. No thanks. No decent parental leave.

Canadian TV watcher who also lives in Düsseldorf here - but am actually appalled at the "training wheels" - how do your neighbours allow that to happen - Laufrad and straight to Puky or now Woom (but Puky is from Ratingen - so buy local) and your kid is riding really quickly Stop trying to speak perfectly, just speak and tell them to stop the judgement!

There is no perfect way in being a parent, you have to decide by yourself and as long as you love your kids, you will probably do good. As long as you look to it, that you raise them healty everything is fine. That includes outrside playing, TV, clothes etc. About sugar...it is never good, even you are a kid or an adult. You may have grown up well with Hot Dogs and mac 'n' cheese and many others as well, but in fact it is not healthy and many kids and adults did also get fat. A clear no to homeschooling as long as it is not necessary. But we are not in the outback in Australia, so not necessary in Germany. The most important reason is the interaction between the kids in school. Think it s much better to socialize in reality, then in networks ( right, I still do not use any of this networks ). At the end, I'm also not a friend of parking kids to long in Kitas or Kindergarten. The have parents and if you have no time for your kid, you should not have one, no matter if Mum or dad stays at home. No problem with single parents, they have no other chnace, but for them there are also possibilities ( admit, not enough ).

Why do you care what other parents think of your parenting skills. The parenting has to fit child and parent. If you want to have fun,give your child "Capri Sonne" and a sausage at the playground.😂

I will not get into the quality of American vs. German schools, both leave much to be desired. I also do not know much about the Canadian model. However: Your introductory remarks about a parent who wants to home school and is a teacher is an absurd example. I would like to know how many families fall into this category and I suspect it is a statistical non event. Home schooling is demanded by conspiracy theorists (idiots would be a more accurate term), reactionary groups, religious fanatics and homophobes. People who are hardly professional educators. I ask you: If seriously sick, should your dad who may be a great car mechanic/investment banker/lawyer/ be allowed to treat you rather than a doctor? I also want to share a personal experience here in the US: I am German, father to 3 children, we live in a (comparatively) progressive state of New Jersey. The curriculum (public school) does not (yet) contain "creationism" in science class, does not teach homosexuality as a sickness in hygiene but the reactionary tendencies have begun even here with (unofficial) exclusion of "certain" books. At the last "back to school" affair for my 8th grader the ELA (English and Language Arts) teacher gave the reading list to the parents and ended his presentation with the words "If any one objects to any of these books, please let me know and I will offer alternative reading". This terrified me; my grandfathers burned books. America is on her way to do same. The other exclusion is "Critical Race Theory" which is branded as planting hate between the races when it simply explores the still existing injustices that originate from slavery within American society today. Most of this is driven by far right groups and religious fanatics who try to convince parents that their children are being indoctrinated. And Americans do not see that the indoctrination comes from withholding information, not from exposing young people to it. This kind of thing should terrify everyone, not only Germans with our unique responsibilities.

TV for Kids is dangerous here, Lots of strange influence, especially in this times of genderpropaganda. My grandchild was not aloud to watch TV, but I get her DVD's so no advertise and no influence except of the movie itself. But we watch it together and could talk about it.
