Unleash Childhood Freedom
Swedes recognize that children yearn for unbridled exploration instead of confinement. Rather than keeping them indoors, Swedish children are encouraged to embark on adventures in parks and revel in the bountiful nature of their forests, facilitated by the free-to-roam law.
While some societies might frown upon allowing children to wander independently, Swedes wholeheartedly support this practice. You’ll spot Swedish youngsters outdoors, fearlessly exploring various terrains regardless of weather. Some schools even prioritize outdoor education over traditional textbooks. In a notable move, Sweden banned corporal punishment as early as 1979, setting a precedent.
