Good piece....and so true.
We are originally Dutch too and got rid of our TV when my oldest was 3 when I started noticing this stuff as well. We moved to Australia and there I found the situation is even worse as their society follows closer to the Americans. The big difference is the Australian people who are rougher but kind and awesome. But school style indoctrination is really strong here so we decided to homeschool...and I must say that here homeschooling allows for alot of freedom in Australia as it is very common ( the country is soooo big that alot of people actually can't get their kids to a school because of the distance).
We travel permanently and eat conscious and organic.....
Don't get me wrong I don't have any answers nor do I claim to do everything right....but we are aware of everything that is going on and are trying to raise strong selfthinking girls.
It sounds that you have a great live down under. Great that you have the ability to homeschool and travel at the same time. Your girls must be living a very happy live. Thank you @van-ruben.
