In Denmark, empathy is taught just like math or reading. From ages 6 to 16, children take weekly classes focused on understanding feelings, showing compassion, and learning how to care for one another, building not just knowledge but stronger communities.

What are we doing to our children?

We push them to perform before they are ready, measuring their worth by achievements instead of honoring their pace. We expect them to be everything at once (e.g. academic, social, athletic, artistic), forgetting that childhood was never meant to be a competition.

What children truly need is not more pressure, but more play. They need space to wonder, freedom to connect, and time to grow into themselves without hurry.

The greatest danger to childhood is not falling behind, but being forced to outgrow it too soon. If we want children to flourish, we must protect their right to simply be children.
