I'm pretty sure that I pointed out that children here are well disciplined. Your anecdote about your German cousin is quite the opposite of the behaviour of children that I have observed here. I'm pretty sure that I did not say anything about hands off parenting either. Children are socialized early here in Norway by a combination of parental and kindergarten influences generally resulting in self confident children who rarely throw tantrums and can from an early age be negotiated with.
