'For the last couple weeks, my favorite pastime has been watching tiny, adorable Japanese toddlers run errands, thanks to Netflix licensing 'Old Enough,' a reality show that’s been a hit in Japan since the ’90s,' writes cadylang
The premise of show, which debuted in Japan under the title, is simple but engrossing: small children, some as young as 2 years old, run household errands without their parents for the very first time while a camera crew follows along. In each wholly charming episode, a child is asked to do something like journey to the local market and back with an elaborate grocery list or run home from the orchard to make fresh juice for the family.
That’s not to say that there aren’t challenges—sometimes there are distractions for little ones who are more interested in playing than completing their errands. It can be hard to remember every item needed , to correctly count out money for purchases, or in the case of one tiny but tenacious girl, to complete the job, when the assignment is harvesting a cabbage that’s nearly as big as she is.
Then there’s the trepidation and tears that sometimes precede setting out alone for the first time, from both the kids and their parents, who, more often than not, are even more anxious than their offspring. In this lies the most compelling—and most controversial—aspect of the show: believing that small children can safely do things out in the world and do them well, all by themselves.
