R1 – Independent Children

How I reflected on the video was, I was amazed how young children maybe only in grade 1-2 can do all of these things independently and by themselves. I wasn’t nearly their age when I myself started doing these kind of chores.

In my opinion it is good to have children learn to be independent at a young age, it is unfortunate that here in Canada, it is not as safe as it is in Japan.

I have not yet used public transit by myself, but I do walk to school myself.
