BERLIN WITH KIDS

Moving to Berlin with kids. It may not be the easiest thing you’ll ever do, but once you’re on the ground, the advantages will quickly outnumber the obstacles. If you’re a parent already, this is probably old news to you, but kids have a way of breaking down barriers and allowing us to overcome fears—even those we may carry as adults. If you’ve just moved here and feel lost in a foreign country, watch your kids make friends for you as they approach shopkeepers on the street, dog owners in parks, or other kids on playgrounds, even those with whom they share no common language. Follow your kids’ example, and you may find yourself melting easily into their social networks, allowing their favorite haunts to become yours. Your kids will probably be acting like locals long before you do, so you could do worse than let them show you the way.

Of course, moving to a foreign country is not for the faint of heart. And moving with children should earn you some kind of medal. If you’re a parent, you shouldn’t kid yourself (no pun intended) about the added complexities of life with kids in Berlin. On the other hand, relax: There’s a reason Kinder, the German word for children, seems to show up all over town: Berlin is as child-friendly as cities can be. If you’ve got a problem or question about your child, there’s probably an entire Amt dedicated to helping you. In a country known for its bureaucracy, being a parent can help you see the good side of all the paperwork: a great support network and a little peace of mind.
