An American living in Barcelona, ​​shocked by how children are treated in our country

Many foreigners who move to Spain do so for work and often arrive with their families, including children who usually adapt without problems . It's said that children are like sponges and easily absorb the language or new rules, while adults often struggle with change.

Likewise, parents are the ones who notice the most culture shocks when they delve into Spanish habits and customs. Schedules, schools, and parks are often a source of surprise for many, and now an American living in Barcelona, ​​Brennan , wanted to talk about something that has astonished him about what he sees with children in Spain.

He settled here this long summer with his Spanish wife and two young daughters and has been sharing on his TikTok account (@brennan_abroad) various peculiarities that he has experienced and a few weeks ago he wanted to highlight in a video, which went viral and has more than 48,000 views, something that "I think is not talked about enough in Spain."

Brennan refers to "how welcoming and interactive they are with the children" and comments that, based on what she's experienced with her daughters, "I can't tell you how many times I've taken them out or had people just come up and start playing with them," emphasizing that it's with a positive attitude.

Thus, the American emphasizes that children "aren't seen as a nuisance here, not at all." " I don't know if it's like this throughout Europe , but my experience here is that, whether they're older or younger, they love children and love being with them, playing with them, or simply interacting with them," he emphasizes about what he's found in Barcelona.

Finally, she warns anyone with children traveling to Spain that they will find that "people will probably approach you and be very interactive with your children, and it's not in a creepy way ." She also emphasizes that, from what she's seen here, they "simply adore children."

"It's true, but it's getting lost... they're starting to become annoying to a lot of people. And this is a sign of a less humane society ," a user named Luci responded sadly. "Another thing is that everyone says 'hello,'" insists another follower, with whom Brennan doesn't agree 100% because she believes only around 60% of citizens do so. "In Spain, family, especially grandparents and children, are very important," another follower remarked.
