When it comes to doing chores I don’t really do them unless I’m asked to or if I want to, so there’s not really a set routine for me. Because of that, I don’t really know what age I started doing them. I think that children should grow up with the independence that Japanese children have, as long as it is safe. I think this because children will have to learn to do it eventually and it’s more time saved for parents to do other things. I first started to go to school by myself in grade 5 where I walked, but I only first used transit on my own to get to school in grade 6. It’s good to know how to get places on your own and starting at an earlier age doesn’t hurt as long as the route is safe enough.
