"Children have all kinds of big emotions," she says. "They don't have much prefrontal cortex yet. So what we do in responding to our child's emotions shapes their brain."

I think a lot of it is your surroundings. I assume there isn't the same technology and stress in the Artic Circle.
Although, I don't want to have rocks thrown at me, ever.
They do not yell, scold or spank their children. As a result of this, they grow up without anger, or agression. It is as if they train their brains at such an early age that playing, being happy is normal.

The culture views scolding — or even speaking to children in an angry voice — as inappropriate, says Lisa Ipeelie, a radio producer and mom who grew up with 12 siblings. "When they're little, it doesn't help to raise your voice," she says. "It will just make your own heart rate go up."
Even if the child hits you or bites you, there's no raising your voice?

That just makes so much sense. So true.
My son bit me once when he was little. He snuck up on me, so there was a little less guilt from me when I knocked him onto the floor when feeling a searing sharp pain in my leg....
He was ok, I had real teeth marks, and he never bit anyone again.
He got lots of cuddling after the incident, I think I scared him a bit.

Canadian natives are very, very different from Alaska natives, then. Anger, violence, and abuse is a very real problem in native villages here.

"Maybe these Inuit people have it all figured out."
This sort of thing works well only when the majority of a population behaves in a similar manner.
