The "DO Thing" sure isn't for kids. I would say its a) french and b) solfeggio (two completely different things, the second one quite useful for understanding the relations between melody and harmony) Nevertheless, it is NOT European! Europe is a bit more than France and parts of Switzerland and Belgium. Especially chord symbols (in pop, jazz, rock etc.) nowadays pretty much stick to the Angloamerican method.

There whole books that tell you for example how a specific ornament is to be interpreted depending on when the period the music was written.
