According to new studies Dutch children are once again at the top of the list at being the happiest children in comparison to other industrialized countries. Unfortunately Canada was a disappointing 17! I didn't think I was unhappy growing up in Canada but I do see where this study is coming from. This country does seem to focus a lot of their time on the well being of the children. Here is the article http://www.dutchdailynews.com/dutch-kids-happiest/ . I know my children are very happy and I know I am now even more reassured I am doing a good thing by raising them in such a fabulous country!

I read the article aswell and thought it was correct. We are americans living in the netherlands and our two sons who are 11 and 9 have more freedom here then they would back home. There are countless activities for them and work and home life is more achievable here than back home. So although I had an awesome childhood growing up, I can see for myself the benefits they have here and how much they have changed in the almost 3 years of living here.
No kidding. I wouldn't have guessed (knowing little about Holland, other than that there's ice skating and tulips-both thanks to you!) That must be very reassuring.
Could be worse.... my home country placed dead last!
