Children running errands alone -- and not just on reality TV Goats and Soda editor's note Malaka Gha

Children running errands alone -- and not just on reality TV [View this email online]( [NPR]( Goats and Soda editor's note Malaka Gharib/NPR Dear readers, NPR's Michaeleen Doucleff had a problem. Her 4-year-old daughter kept sneaking onto the roof of their home. "I was in the middle of writing [a book]( about parenting around the world," she recalls, "and I had heard the same advice over and over again: When a kid misbehaves they need more autonomy; they need more responsibility." So she sent her daughter to the store. Alone. To buy some milk. The idea that little kids can take on adult-size responsibility is the subject of a hit Japanese show called Old Enough! now streaming on Netflix. I watched the show -- and to my amazement, saw a 3-year-old walk 20 minutes to the grocery store to buy some curry! And then I [asked Doucleff to write about her own experience with kids and errands]( and what she's learned from her reporting on this topic around the world. To go along with the text, our colleague Malaka Gharib created a comic to explain: "How parents can teach kids -- even little ones -- to run errands." The post really touched a chord. Our readers have sent in their own anecdotes for a follow-up story. If you'd like to participate, share your perspective in an email to [goatsandsoda@npr.org](mailto:goatsandsoda@npr.org?subject=) with the subject line "Kids and errands." Be sure to include your name and location. The deadline is Monday, April 25. [Read the story and comic here.]( And look for the follow-up next week.
