She's very aware of her limitations, Maureen, isn't she?
She's one of the slower members of the group, she's a bit frailer.
Everyone's going and that means you'll have to stay here by yourself.
I think I might stay behind because I might walk so slowly, I might hold everybody up so that they leave me behind.
Maureen really doesn't want to be a burden on the group, does she?
But it's upsetting to see how much it affects her confidence.
Would somebody ask Fiona if they'll leave me behind if I don't get there?
How slow can you walk?
Well, I can walk but I don't know that I can breathe.

"What kind of bird is that?" "A BIN CHICKEN!!!" "That's not a Pigeon" 😆😆😆

[@xosmokey]

😂😂😂😂

[@fmcm7715]

Little Aika has so much empathy at 4 years of age. She’s a delight.

[@Livelovelaughes]

Love Amika , she is such a sweetheart

[@virginiagana1494]

"What kind of bird is that?" .. "a bin chicken!" .. "what?! that's not a pigeon!". Beautiful.

[@FacelessJanus]

Aika is really smart. Instead of accepting that Maureen wants to stay behind, because she would delay everyone, Aika pushes her by asking to show her HOW slow she can be. :D Love that, idea. Aika does not accept leaving Maureen, but show me how slow you can walk. Adorable, and very social.

[@1KITIG]

“okay, how slow can you walk?” 🥺

[@khutjodiphofe2245]

I've been binging on this show, and I can't stop smiling every time. Miss my late grandmama.

[@Helen-sound]

Oh I wish every kindergarten and old folks homes would do something like this in the UK . When you see how much both parties blossom from that interaction it’s such a precious thing to watch .

[@ruetube]

i'm not sure if i misread your comment, but in case you didn't know, this is an australian remake of the uk documentary "old peoples' homes for 4-year-olds" - i think it's available to watch on all4

[@lupefranco5440]

I wish we could have programs like this for young adults I’m 22.

[@louisehelgesson5471]

* much younger adults*

[@marshhen]

As a teacher of young adults close to your age, I could not agree more.

[@toonmama6]

Yes me too! Here in America kids in schools have nooo respect for adults. Nor do they get any guidance from their own family homes.Then people turn around and blame the school system! I know its not a perfect educational system, but instilling respect and manners from a very young age really provides kids with positive interactions with adults. I see this dwindling. Parents teach your kids manners!

[@kyupified2440]

Right!

[@jessicaandrade5320]

She reminded me of my grandma, who is really ashmed when she can't do stuff like she used to. These people don't seem to realize that they have done sooo much already in life, that now they dont *have* to be the same, they earned a slow pace, tranquil life without the pressure of being the fastest or strongest.

[@staceycoe76]

Aika is the actual best

[@satyamsinha5135]

A 4 y/o convinced a 90 y/o to walk. She did what seems difficult even for adults. She was very mature for her age and I hope she continues to inspire people just like this. ❤❤

[@Charlie-bh3yk]

Children don’t want to see anyone left out, they won’t leave anyone behind 💖

[@maryn6543]

"What kind of bird is that?" "A bin chicken!" This show is the best!

[@jajean2705]

When the little girl said "I'll help you". My heart melts.🥰

[@hedoreen1896]

4 year olds kids is the best medicine and treatment for these elderly. All of them are very very important to us.

[@nutauf7587]

Aika is such a sweetheart

[@garunokcha3879]

Elena has such a caring heart! hope the world doesn't change her growing up

[@TheMomocurry]

Alina is so sweet coming back to help her

[@toms18]

one of my childhood moment that engraved in my memory so well was when my kindergarten visited old people home like this, i didin't remember what were the words we saying to each other, but i remember they were so happy to see us, holding hands, telling stories and laugh a lot, we pray together and then we went home, idk why i remember that so well maybe because i only had 1 grandparent left at the time

[@frqsr]

these kids were raised well❤️

[@EBUNNY2012]

This is fast becoming a favorite for me. Aika is so fun to watch interact with the adults.

[@itsellie3]

Why am I crying, this is so wholesome

[@elden5052]

„What kind of bird is that?“ „A bin chicken!“🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@l.e1847]

Love is a medical therapy…💗

[@kellymarie6031]

What a lovely idea... teaches the children compassion & patience at such an early age... and it motivates the elderly to do some activities they might've normally passed on... it's a win/win .. doesn't get better than that!!

[@buddhapiyao1315]

This is such a beautiful concept. It can work both ways. There are so many children who have no grandparents. They have no idea what it is to be loved from your grandpa or grandma. what it is to play with them. and grandparents can teach so much. This is a beautiful way to get 2 different generations almost 70 years apart interact and build each other in so many ways.

[@Solistastyle]

This should just be the norm for all aged care/child care facilities. I come from a culture where this is the way it works. The family is one large community and the younger ones and older ones look after eachother and all the others assume responsibility for them together.

[@shintagaluh7164]

Where do u live? Am Indonesian. Here, no old people live by themselves. Its either the family take them to their home, or one of the family member stay with them or move closer to them. Sometimes the neighbors help them. Putting ur older family member in nursing home is a very unpopular choice and considered as a mean thing.

[@frogprincessss]

This has got to be one of the most beautiful videos I've seen since the pandemic

[@ScrotumCat]

I’m miss my great gran so much!! She just passed away from lymphoma. She raised me. 🥺 this show makes me cry so much!

[@whatchyagonnado]

Bro she was *running* down the hill at the end... awesome video :)

[@alvinleong269]

The kids must have reminded them.of.their own kids and grandkids 🙏

[@_Shinique]

This is awesome. Brings back memories. I thought this was done everywhere, until I grew up. My school system had us visiting our local senior homes from kindergarden through high school. We would do arts & crafts with them when we were little & we sang in chorus for them & played Bingo when we got older. It gave them some company & taught us to respect our elders. It was especially awesome to me since my parents were a lot older than most & I didn't grow up with living grandparents. For grandparents' day, I would give a gift to a senior instead.

[@johnlewis3009]

This is a gem of a show keep it going

[@wesna213]

This brought me to tears.. Life's beautiful. We are beautiful and full of love, at any stage and age.

[@martiwalsh2069]

[@thewkovacs316]

i wish i could get my father in a program like this

[@philipjameson-guitar5986]

Just amazing. I hope this becomes a regular thing everywhere!

[@petirimunyikwa445]

Very fond memory of walking with my great grandmother just popped in my head

[@irahcamid9278]

[@nigefal]

I think Aika would be a great nurse/health practitioner when she is an adult.

[@sunshinecity8351]

[@Laura-sn8iy]

I‘m not crying! You’re crying 🥺

[@firsttenor76]

I wonder if Trelegy would help her with her breathing... it has helped me with mine immensely.

[@suesmith9665]

This is a awesome programe

[@Gaz3153]

I'm crying. 😁

[@aarinteich]

It might be very very helpful if the woman forced herself to breath from her nose, not her mouth..! what a wonderful program! Thank you for these posts. The authentic, well-intentioned love these kids and adults have together is epic.

[@gebruederflausch]

This show's too cute!

[@tany2191]

[@lc2296]

[@charissecoal]

Give the poor woman a motorcart

[@MeMeDaVinci]

My mother had the shortness of breath due to emphysema. She couldn't walk 30 feet without wheezing. She was addicted to cigarettes. God awful nasty things. Sitting now is the new smoking. You have to keep moving...

[@ayasalama7533]
