British parents are the kind of parents that loves their children but don't spoil them for their kids to grow up without depending too much on their parents, devotes their selves to their kids' well-being and happiness but others don't like the way British parents raise their children.

British parenting has been attacked lately. Manuals about parenting are debating that to raise a polite, well-rounded, resilient and a happy child; British parents must look on their European neighbors. The Danish Way Of Parenting was published this summer by an American writer and her Danish husband, it discusses Denmark's claim that in order to have the highest levels of happiness in the world is all down to a parenting philosophy based on "play, socialize, share and understand other's people's feelings and emotions". The Happiest Kids In The World: Raising Kids The Dutch Way which has released this January and followed the success of a bestselling book such as Why French Children Don't Throw Food and Bringing Up Bebe. Nowhere to found is the book on how to parent like a Brit which triggered British parents because for them it is wonderful to be raised in Britain in this age. They don't need to look to other countries for their models in parenting. British people have funny and diverse parents, green fields, miles of the seaside, muddy puddles for them to splash on? Museums and galleries that are often free, local councils and children centers put on weaning workshops and bongo lessons, are entitled to 52 weeks of maternity leave (statutory minimum is 14 weeks while in the US it's zero).

Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's Gruffalo and other characters were aired in Britain, their children's television: Peppa Pig, is among the best in the world and has been exported to 180 other territories, music in In the Night Garden is very soothing to listeners. It doesn't stop there, the tech world has helped Britain significantly. Parents are more connected than ever, be it on social media or throng of family friendly events blooming across the country. And also according to BBC America, American parents can learn so much from the British way of parenting.
