Maybe you can answer this question: What IS your parenting style? What is your parenting philosophy?

Oh my. When I read through the comments 😬🙄…. I love that Christine & Kalle are following such a nature bound path. That’s all that matters. Lo

It warms my heart to know that this is the approach you’re taking with your beautiful little August! I am a new grandmother, and it absolutely distresses me to see how “low nurture” our societies have become in regard to raising children. It seems that parenting has become quite separated from human instinct for raising our young. Among such atrocities as “sleep training,” are many other ways of separating a baby’s innate need for close contact and ongoing comfort. Low nurturing and various other forms of training that disregard their natural development has become common place. QUESTION: are you finding that your peers - and friends and family - are also in agreement with your approach to parenting, for the most part? Is a “high nurture” approach at all common in Sweden? (sadly, it is not in the United States.)

I would have to know what you understand by "traditional" parenting? :) My wife and I say Yes to traditional parenting. That was the wish of my wife. By "traditional" we understand that our child wont go to early school with 3 years old and/or we wont put like 15+ vaxx into our little baby.... and we wont do this crazy early sxx-eduction like thery are doing all over europe... its just disgusting. My wife and me will be here for our child and she wont go to work, she will "work" at home. It was her own decision and wish and I support this decision. I look forward to see your video on that topic. I find it always very interesting what ways other parents decide to take. To most important thing to me is that all the parents are FREE to decide themselves what is best for them and their child. I respect every decision other parents take because I think that parents care for their children. Its sadding to see what other governments are doing to parents with all these laws who are taking away so much freedom and forcing parents to do things they know are not good for their children. :(

I have raised four children and have studied child development up to the phd level, and have been a teacher for decades. As long as you are genuinely responsive to your child all will be well. Gentle parenting tends to encourage children who are sensitive and creative, and grow up to value themselves. :)

I'm not entirely sure on your definition of "traditional parenting," so I'm finding it difficult to formulate my questions precisely. So, one thing I would ask is what you mean by traditional parenting and how your approach differs. To my understanding, homeschooling is generally not permitted in Sweden, except under exceptional medical conditions. Further questions I have include: What values do you instill in your child? Do you foster curiosity? And what methods do you use to facilitate your child's learning? Do you allow your child to make mistakes as a learning experience, or do you strive to prevent mistakes? And how do you balance discipline, nurture, and affection?

This is an interesting topic, considering how young August is. Your parenting will undoubtedly change as he grows an develops and goes through different stages of growth and development. It will just be interesting to hear your perspectives based on where you live and what your plans for him are. Maybe how are your parenting choices where you live currently different than what you might be doing if you lived back in the city/more urban areas?

Did you always know that you wanted to parent the way that you do? How is the way you parent different from the way you thought you would?

How much freedom is your government allowing you ( healthcare, education..) ? And how do you think about the regulations you might have to face? Lots of love ❤️

Kids and socializing with other kids. That's a big aspect that is lacking in most homeschooling.

The kind of upbringing a child needs depends on both the child and the parents. How much can the child absorb, what is he/she receptive to? Are the parents capable of satisfying the child's needs at a qualified level? When the child grows up and goes out into the "world", will he/she be able to stand on his/her own and live happily? In addition to upbringing, the behavioral example of the parents also counts a lot. I apologize in advance for the assumption, but a person who has been in prison can also have decent parents and vice versa (I know from the experience of friends, unfortunately). A million questions may arise that life will only ask later.....and let's not forget about genetic predispositions either...

I am interested in your vision about August's education. It's unnatural to learn by sitting at school and listening to the teachers. For thousands of years children were learning by trying to do things they see on their parents to do. However, in Sweden, homeschooling is illegal and all the schools are public.

I really feel for K. He has to work himself to the bone, take care of the dogs, and is only allowed to see his son if the parenting style permits it. What a luxurious position for the C. she has the baby all to herself. Very sad. If this is your idea of parenting, you might as well have chosen to be a single mother. K. is devastated and heartbroken. I completely understand. It's truly sad if your choice is to make living apart the new parenting method."I can see how much you're struggling, and it really hurts me to see you like this. You're working so hard to make everything right, but it's taking a huge toll on you. You miss your child and your girlfriend, and on top of that, you're exhausted and frustrated. No one can keep going like this forever. Maybe it's time to take a step back and think: Are all these expectations fair to you? You're only one person, and you can’t do everything alone. If money is an issue, can you find small ways to reduce the pressure on yourself? Maybe ask for help from friends, set clearer boundaries, or focus on what really matters—your relationship with your child and your own well-being. You deserve love and happiness too, not just endless work and frustration."

Nutrition!? How is the quality of the food there for momma and baby? We are in Colorado and it is very expensive to get fresh food, as hardly anything substantial grows well here. How are your food options for you all and the baby? That and staying warm are the two more important ones to me.

Christine and I are recording a new video about how we said NO to traditional parenting and chose a different path. Are there any questions you have for us or topics you’d like us to discuss? 😊
