‘Danish Secret to Happy Kids’ reveals tips to make children more independent — and it doesn’t involve homework
NY Post
When Becca and Jordan Itkowitz moved back to La Grange, Illinois, after three years in Denmark with their two sons, Evan, 8, and Max, 10, they experienced culture shock.
Soon after moving stateside in 2017, Becca received a call from school that Max had thrown a snowball during recess.
“Not at anyone, mind you,” Becca told The Post. “Just throwing a snowball because it’s fun and he’s a kid. I laughed and agreed to talk to him about American school rules and how snow can be perceived as a ‘weapon.'”
Max was also chastised for picking up a stick. “In Denmark, picking up sticks was always to build a fort or just play,” she said.
That stood in stark contrast to what they had experienced in Denmark, where children in kindergarten are given — by American norms — enormous latitude.
“They have the opportunity to play in the rain, cook over fires and are able to take safe and age-appropriate risks,” Becca explained.

For someone with millions of followers across his social platforms, content creator Nick Cassano, aka Nicky Cass, is surprisingly low-key.

Those are just a few of the perks that come with being the founder of Nicky Cass Media and filming videos that bring in thousands — sometimes millions — of views.

I led a successful meeting where I was under a lot of pressure, and afterwards the attendees gave me a lot of praise for it. I did a lot of preparation and am proud of the outcome, but it was only me from my team so my boss has no way of knowing how well I did. If I tell him will it sound like I’m bragging? How do I mention it?
