Modern parenting often tries to clear the path for the child. The Nordic approach prepares the child for the path. We explore the concept of Sisu—the quiet Finnish art of grit—and why allowing our children to struggle with the 'mossy logs' of life is the only way to build true strength. It is not about being harsh; it is about respecting the dignity of their effort.
