Hardening from birth. Swedes.



A feature of the upbringing of Swedish children is the almost manic desire of parents to keep them in the fresh air. It doesn't matter if it's snowing or raining outside, windy or frosty. Always, under any weather conditions, the child should be provided with a long walk in the fresh air. The Swedish attitude to walks reflects the saying "There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing."


Swedish parents from the first days of life leave their baby to sleep on the street. Even in winter. In the city, you can often see strollers with children at the cafe, while the parents are inside, the child can doze off in the stroller in the snow and rain. Of course, covered with a special cape, but still on the street.


If a compassionate passer-by immediately starts to worry and calls the guardianship, social security, the police and declares that the child is in danger. Nothing like this will happen in Sweden. And if someone calls the guardianship, his application is likely to be ignored. The descendants of the Vikings are sure that only fresh cool air can give good health from infancy. And I sleep better in the fresh air.
