Family of Musicians Piret Laikre Named Family of the Year: Having Many Children Is True Wealth

The musician family Laikre recently received the family of the year award. Mother Piret Laikre (47) describes what makes their family special—the whole family grows and functions together, not hierarchically.

The musician family Laikre has won the family of the year award, recognised for their distinctive character and joyful family life. 47-year-old mother Piret Laikre describes how their home lacks a traditional top-down parenting style.

"We don't have parents somewhere high up raising us; the whole family grows and functions together," Piret Laikre explains the family's philosophy. According to her, having many children is true wealth that cannot be measured by material values.

The family with a musical background has found common ground both in music and in everyday life, creating a home environment where every family member contributes to the whole. The family of the year award is a significant social recognition for the family, marking their contribution to Estonian family culture.
