I didn't see the kind of problem in Denmark so I just want to tell about that and I didn't mean to blame to our parents in Myanmar. We have to find out what we shoud follow their system and what is good for our future children.
In Denmark, They tried to children to get self confidence. For Example,
if the children is fall down when family walking. The child is going to cry
but the parents just pretended to nothing happened and just standing and wait them.
So the child tried to stand back self and not continue to cry.
The both parents are working in Denmark so the children can go to child care school when they were 6 months old.
The teachers taught them to how to stay with other children and how to do self.
They have to eat self when they can hold the spoon.
The teachers keep away from them if the things are dangerous for them.
Eg, the teachers hide the sugar they can not see and touch.
The teachers never beat the children.
When they were 3 years old,
they went Kindergarten and they become real student when they were 6 years old.
The teachers listened carefully what the child said.
The teachers did seriously what the child's desire.
The parents support to childen working.
In Denmark, you will see the children, 7 year to 12 years old are working very often.
I didn't mean to work for only money.
They have to feed the horse and cows etc..if their parents have.
They have to pluck the flowers if their parents have flowers plantation.
So you can see some time they sell the flowers, fruits in front of their house.
Once, I met the children selling the coffee in front of the supermark near my house.
9 years and 6 years girls and their brother 5 years old boy as their body guard.
They were kids of friend of mine who working as a teacher in people school.
So I bought the 2 coffees and just asked them "Why do you sell the coffee ? "
they answered that "they wanted to buy new clothes". That is also good trained.
Their mother prepaired 2 flasks and they showed me "sugar is here.., milk is here"
like they are real coffee shop keeper. I supported that ..
When the Spring is began, the flea markets come out in Denmark.
They sell the things what thay do not want to keep.
All the things were almost new and good enough to use.
You can see the children selling their old toys for buy new toys.
Also teenager seeling their old clothes for buy new cloth.
They knew that
"every good job has prestige".and they happy to help to parents.
By the way, I just remembered what I opened the small books rental shop at in front of our house in Yangon when I was 4 grade, 10 years old. My father advised me when I wanted to buy new reel for kite.
I laid the mat on street side and laid out all the books belong to my father and either mine.
I costed them that reading at shop for 5 cents and 10 cents or 20 cents when they wanted to take home.
Even though, when I growing up, I just going to school and university using my parents money almost I was 30 years old.
The youth can work legally when they were 12 years old in Denmark.
The government not deduct the income tax till their age of 18.
So the youth went school and on the other hand, they working part time.
They put the advertisements to post box, They work in supermark and restaurant etc..
Also save some money for emplyees due to not paying to income tax for them.
They got salary same as adult people.
So they just stay at home for study,eat and sleep and they will use their own money when they wanted to buy the things.
One of my teachers's daughter, who wanted to buy the horse, so she started to worked when she was 12 and now I heard that she got the horse. She was the same age of my daughter and also my daughter's friend.
Our daughter, Htet supported to work she was 12 but she started to work she was 13 according to her mother wish. Also her mother not allow her to work while school is open and let her work in summer holidays.
She worked at restaurant and she selling the ice cream. She is working when I writing now.
She wanted to attend to The Designer Private School instead of 10 grade and also wanted to buy a I pad or a Macbook pro, I am not pretty sure yet what she likes to buy. But I do know they got agreement between her and her mother that the mother have to fill half price.
There is no tuition charged to the students, all danish citizens are offered monthly financial aid.
Besides, they no need to go other class(my country called 'Tuition') after the school.
So look, the youths in Denmark not only going to school but also working for their expense from 12 years old till they finished university.
The government contribute some amount to all the children till their age of 18 in Denmark.
After 18, the student can get some amount of monthly financial aid from government.
So that everybody has to pay 38% of their salary as a tax in Denmark.
Almost the youths in Denmark tried to move from the parent's home when they were 18 and they tried to stand their own.
Therefore, the parents in Denmark weren't much to worry about their children going to school like the parents in Myanmar.
