The second I watched „Old enough“ I knew that American Twitter had something to say about it. When Americans say „the West“ they should speak for themselves. I‘m German and when I grew up in the 90s and early 2000s children also went to the bakery or to the butchers. A friend of mine used to walk to her kindergarten every morning (starting from age 4). It‘s great parenting because children can earn confidence. They are given some responsibility. Of course you shouldn’t let your 4 year old run around LA all by themselves but surely these people can see that Japan is different from the US? Giving your children more freedom can be scary, yes. But as a parent you have to take these tiny risks to make your child grow.

[@TinaBeanz]

It's not just about the child being taught to be responsible. But there are a LOT of criminals and pedos roaming our streets while they are locking up drug addicts instead. Most people can get a gun easily, and the others can just get it illegally. The US has a lot of deep problems, and children are targeted even safely in their homes, we'd rather not put them in harm's way, unsupervised running around town. Literally, you ask a majority of females of ANY age, chances are they have been sexually harassed, touched inappropriately, or assaulted at least once in their life. The US is a dangerous place.

I agree with you. I live here in the United States and my daughter rode her bicycle to school at age 5. I have coarse made sure she got there everyday she didn't know I was watching but I wanted her to feel that freedom. I used to get on a bus at age 6 and go into New York City for New Jersey by myself. Children are capable of many things if taught.

For the Netflix Show, if that was anywhere other than Japan that would be an issue. Japan is insanely safe. People just leave their coats, computers, and purse at the restaurant table when they go to bathroom because they know it’s gonna be there when they get back. Not an issue there.

[@guineapigtalks]

Doesn’t Japan have a groping problem of young girls and women?

[@uriel005]

We infantilize growing kids and treat them as more helpless than they often are. Don't get me wrong I think the safety net should be there but historically speaking there were young folks capable of dealing with global politics, church politics and more by the time they were in their early teens and I don't mean as puppet figureheads that others were using. I think here in the west we look down on younger people far too often despite them often being far more tech-savvy, far more politically aware, and far more capable than they are given credit for. Don't get me wrong, they will make their mistakes but I feel as though we treat them as far more helpless than what they are and worse assume such and scale back what they learn and the responsibilities they may choose to take up for themselves based on that.

[@dnahubs]

About the show "Old Enough" or rather "I'm Old Enough." It is *NOT* a game show or a variety show. It is more like a documentary that shows children experiencing their first errand. With or without the cameras, these children would STILL have their first errand. It is also NOT a new show and has in fact been on for decades. In fact, they go back and check on the children years later. Some times they catch up when they're teens and a few times I have seen them catch up with one of the former children who is now getting their own child ready for their own first errand. This type of lifestyle and parenting does not only exist in Japan. It is widespread in Asia and perhaps even other countries I am not familiar with. I also grew up in this fashion running errands at an early age. What some don't see or fail to see is that the shop owners are entirely comfortable with having young patrons because it is a normal occurrence as something that is part of their culture. Also plenty of these children live in close knit communities or in communities that just collectively look after the welfare of children so they are not left as defenseless as they seem. Plenty of people are judging based on their background, culture and upbringing. If you don't see yourself sending your children to run an errand at such an age by themselves because you think they're too young or you deem your community not safe enough, that's a valid opinion. *BUT* that doesn't mean that all countries and cultures must conform with that opinion or that their communities are as dangerous as your own. YOUR parenting may be right for your children, but it is NOT THE ONLY WAY OF PARENTING.

Yes. I grew up in a time when parents sent their kid to the corner store to buy mom a pack of cigarettes. My cousin did it at age 7 and his mom yelled at him because he came back with the wrong change. But this is 2022 and a lot of Americans don't live in small close knit communities anymore. But yes, in other countries this is normal for small aged kids to just hangout in their neighborhoods where the community helps to raise or look after the whole neighborhood.

I think the problem is that people in America are so used to their countries "unsafe" state that you have to constantly watch your kid to keep them safe. I went to Japan for 3 months and it felt like the safest place in my opinion. I saw children go to the stores by themselves often, running errands, on the trains, very young. I could walk around at night and the streets were well lit and as a woman I felt safer. No place is perfect though. Japan is different and America is too, and honestly the American opinion doesn't matter when it comes to how people in Japan live their lives.

[@ChineduOpara]

[@lorraineclark4413]

One of the main reasons why Japan is "safe" is because the police are OWNED by the Yakuza. They keep crime contained within poor neighborhoods so it doesn't bother the rich. Hey, that's kind of like America -isn't it? The number 1 cause of death in children in the US is GUNS. If we had sensible guns laws, the US would be just as "safe" as Japan.

I grew up in an era when children were allowed to go outside and play without having their parents watching them at all times. If anything, parents would kick their kids out just to get them out of their hair for a few hours so they could get things done around the house as long as the kids got back home in time for dinner. I feel sorry for the kids who no longer are able to go outside just to have fun and breath fresh air on their own. Today's kids will never know what real freedom was like back then. Too bad.

[@tedolina]

And us in Europe..we still let kids do their things..however..due to heavy traffic or long distances ... there are parents who still walk with kids at their schools..but otherwise..if they know they play in a safe place ..aka park, garden etc..they usually leave them alone with their friends.

[@LindaC616]

There is some hope, Michelle. I grew up as you did. There were usually a group of us. There was one guy in the neighborhood we were told to avoid. It wasn't explained to us in great detail. So it was always strange if you were riding your bike through the woods across the street from your home or through the field and ran into him. You just tried to keep pedaling, keep going. My niece has a device that her children wear, sort of like a watch, that allows her to track them, and they can ride bikes with their friends in the woods nearby or their subdivision. This is in a suburb of Detroit.

Well, sending your kid off on their own is not safe absolutely everywhere in the world. Also, kids mature at an individual pace, what is a fun adventure to one 4-year-old can end up being an incredibly traumatic experience to another that actually ends up negatively impacting their journey to independence. Don't get me wrong, I think the show seems fine. That the kids are left completely to their own device is a bit of an illusion as well, the camera team is nearby to help or comfort the kid if something goes wrong.

I will always remember the backlash i got from telling people that yes, in Finland, its completely normal to let youre 1st grade child to go to school by themselves, even with the bus. Thats what i did in -96 when i started school, walked across the city and thats what my 7y/o son is currently doing and nether me or he has never had any issues. This is in my mind, a tiny step to let him be more independent and to learn what it means to be responsible. I got about 100 comments saying how irresponsible i am, how i shouldnt make kids if cant take care of them, that this is not "normal", its bad parenting and i am a bad Mother who doesnt care the safety of my child....... Maybe its not normal in America, and i get it, if i lived there i wouldnt be doing this ether BUT in here, its normal, there is not a SINGLE reason why we couldnt do this, on top of everything, Finland as a country is Very Safe. So please, dont go around telling others what to do, when you dont even know what ur talking about...✋🙏

No one has the right to "coach" others how to rise their children.... Thank you for the comment

When I was in first grade, back in the early '60s, I walked to school every day, except if it was storming badly, because there was no bus service, and it was safe for a child to be out on the streets. They were also allowed to buy "adult" items (cigarettes, tobacco products, mostly) for their parents or in some cases, their employer (in 6th grade, I worked after school at a gas station, and my boss would send me to the corner market to buy him cigars, occasionally).

[@FirstNameLastName-wt5to]

In 1st grade I walked to school alone. Then one of my friends and her sister was the victim of an attempted kidnapping at their bus stop. The bus pulled up to see a woman trying to force them in a car. We didn’t walk alone to school after that. People who wish to harm children exist everywhere.

[@sifaelnanono9077]

Sometimes you understand the fear because of the many cases of kidnapping and paedophilia in their country. Other times u just think that they are confused parents who don't think a child has the intelect to manage simple tasks on their own but on the other hand they think these children have the maturity to make life altering decisions like changing their genders. Makes no sense Sometimes.

I'll put it this way: Japan is famous for their crazy commercials, everyone loves it, but even they don't have real commercials for bulletproof children's backpacks. Japan doesn't have a very significant possibility of some random person shooting up a school every other week, so of course they're fine with this. I grew up in a 3rd world country and ran around entire islands by myself and never felt anywhere near as concerned about my safety as I did and still do since moving to the US. It's not like there's not dangers for kids in other countries, but the frequency and magnitude of those dangers are nothing compared to the ones here in the US. I know some people are gonna mention abductions and trafficking, but those people are probably the ones dumb enough to believe that doesn't happen here too.

My partner and I lived and worked in Tokyo from 2010-2020, and our kids grew up there. "Old Enough" is absolutely common and true within the culture. We often sent our son to the store to get groceries, and he did do great. Sure, it may sound crazy in the western context, but Japanese adults are looking out for children and it is quite safe. Kids walk to school by themselves, they travel to friend's places alone, and they run little errands as a means of giving them autonomy as well as showing them they are trusted. Now that we are back in the US, coddling is a serious problem here. Parents are over-protective, and the fact that things like helicopter parenting exist is disturbing. I do understand that the US is not nearly as safe a country as Japan is, but children do need more freedom to explore, play outside, and enjoy some minor mischief with friends. Keeping them inside playing iPad for 10 hours is not living. That is a weird, modern-day prison.

[@jeffboo755]

I lived in Japan for 21 years and found everything you said to be true. My first year there it was amazing to be in line in the grocery store with a child who could barely reach the counter. I even once gave a small child 21 yen he was short. The child was reluctant to take it, but the checkout lady told him it was fine. After taking the money, the child turned and bowed deeply and thanked me. It was heart warming. When nursery school ended each day, groups of children age 3 or 4 were taken to the train platform by teachers for their journey home. Each child wore a tag. Once aboard the train they were looked after by other passengers especially the elderly. I now miss these aspects of Japan. I still marvel at the level of safety and honesty that I experienced while living there.
