How old were you when you started doing chores, do you do chores?

I started doing chores as I became older such as cleaning my room and making sure the curtains in the house were closed and doing my homework, my parents didn’t force me to do chores the only thing they asked of me was that I finish my homework and study, when I was younger maids took care of me and my sister so I didn’t have to do chores.

Do you think that children should grow up with Japanese ideals of independence?

I do believe that having Japanese values of independence is good, but I feel as though it depends on where you live maybe the area you live in isn’t that safe then you should teach your kid when you are with them, I do believe that the Japanese values for independence are good because it teaches kids that they can do things themselves and don’t have to rely on others to much.

When did you first use transit by yourself, go somewhere on your own, go to school by yourself?

I used to go to school on the school bus my parents drop me at school on their way to work or I commute by myself from home to school and back, I don’t have any problems with commuting myself.
