My 1st Errand!

Hajimete No Otsukai

Hajimete No Otsukai is an entertaining show which allows kids, ages 2-8 years old to face the real world alone. They are followed by a TV crew but their parents are supposed to stay at home. Giving the children and themselves a chance to grow.

The kids carry out errands for their parents on their own. The kids perform tasks like going to the store buy ingredients for the kitchen, and one even gets on a train alone to deliver clothes. Although, these kids are obviously watched carefully by crew members disguised as pedestrians.

This TV shows gives children the opportunity to grow by them selves a bit. The TV show also give the children a chance to actually do the things that their parnets have tried to teach them.

For example, when children are by themselves they have to maintain certain public manners. There was also a child who picked up litter on the side of the road. He picked up so he could throw it away at home, in the trash can.

Everyone likes this TV show, and its easy to see why. These children are all so cute. Sometimes they go on errands by themselves, sometimes they go with siblings, but no matter where they go or what they are doing they always manage to be adorable.
