I'm fairly ure the grown-ups already pointed this out to you but...
"That many of the areas of the world with high ranges of tides are in the areas of Alaska, Canada, and northern Europe has created a misconception that the range of tide increases with increasing latitude (as one moves farther from the equator and closer to the poles). This is incorrect."

For one, Earth is closer to the sun in northern winters, so the combined tidal effect is higher when they coincide. It happens in the southern hemisphere as well, but is isn't winter over there.

Tides are stronger when the body creating the tides (the sun in this case) is closer, no? The moon is not notably closer in the northern winter, but the sun is, by about 5 million km.
Maybe you could ask a specific question if that isn't the part that needed additional detail.
