Netflix has a knack for selecting shows with the most bizarre concepts. That
might be a reason for the streaming site’s monumental success. But it comes with
its fair share of criticism and debate. Old Enough on Netflix is the newest to
this line of shows with a somewhat weird concept.

Old Enough is a Japanese show that has left experts confused about what the show
teaches people. Let us take a look at what the show is about and why it is such
a hot topic for discussion.


WHAT IS OLD ENOUGH ON NETFLIX ABOUT?

In Old Enough, children as young as two years old do things like grocery
shopping, traveling a mile to and from home, and navigating public
transportation on their own. Cameras follow the youngster from afar as they
complete errands and challenges assigned by their parents and the show’s
creators.

For more than 30 years, the off-the-wall entertainment series has been a hit on
Japanese television.

The children’s travels in Old Enough are meticulously planned and sanctioned by
their parents. The camera and safety personnel are trained to respond if
something goes wrong.

For the first time this year, Netflix is airing a show’s season, but the content
was shot in 2013. Each section, which lasts anywhere from eight to twenty
minutes, focuses on a single youngster.

So when a show is entirely focusing on two-year-olds, people, especially
parents, have their apprehensions.


THE SHOW HAS TWO EXPERTS DEBATING

While talking about the show, two experts on parenting had different thoughts
and opinions. Lenore Skenazy, the president of Let Grow

felt that the show was very encouraging to watch, and it taught children from a
young age to be independent.

“It’s nice to turn on the TV, and a see a show where kids run errands and are
happy and successful,” she says

Lenore further explains how parenting cultures are different in America and in
Japan. “In America, we only see kids as being in danger,”  Lenore explains.

In comparison to Lenore, Tanith Carey, an author of books on parenting

feels that even though it is good to teach children to become independent by
giving them takes. But the level of the task should be appropriate to their age.

Tanith further expresses her concerns about the content that the show is
producing. She feels “It errs on the side of making young children figures of
fun and laughing at them by asking them to perform tasks they are not
developmentally ready for.”

We will let you decide if the show is appropriate or not. Meanwhile, you can
