It increases slightly for each next child born into the family and is paid until the child becomes 17 years
old. This money can be spent, but the majority of people prefer to not use it and instead save it so they
can give a decent amount to their son or daughter for their future life. In addition, right after having
a baby, parents receive cardboard boxes (https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-22751415) from the
state, which actually contain all the necessary stuff for the baby. The boxes contain 64 different items,
including clothes, diapers, toys, as well as all the necessary information on caring for a newborn. (/wonder-curiosities/18-stories-from-redd

It all started with Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian Prime Minister, who made a declaration
(https://www.atlasobscura.com/foods/reindeer-pizza-berlusconi-finland) that he didn’t like Finnish
food. He spoke particularly sharply about the tasteless smoked venison, saying that it cannot
be compared with Parma ham. 3 years later, Finland won the international pizza contest, having left
Italy behind and presenting its famous “Pizza Berlusconi” with deer meat.

The word Sisu doesn’t have a literal equivalent in the English language, but it’s often translated as stoic
determination, bravery, and the tenacity of purpose and hardiness. Sisu
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisu) is total calmness, vital energy, strength, and emotional self-
control. This concept grew into a whole philosophy and became a peculiar way of life for the residents
of the country in the 20th century in Finland. Sisu in kids’ upbringing is implementing an idea that the
kid can do everything.
