TOKYO - The 'Hajimete Challenge' service is gaining popularity for helping children complete their first errands. The service, provided by Tokyo-based video production company WAGAKOTO, includes filming and editing the errand experience, which is then sent to parents.
It targets children aged 3 to 6, with costs starting at 19,800 yen. Exceptions for younger children are possible upon consultation.
During the errand, a cameraman and guardian accompany the child to ensure safety. Participating parents appreciate the opportunity for their children to learn independence. The service is well-coordinated with local stores and focuses on safety, with errands lasting no longer than 30 minutes.
Parents often inquire about potential issues, such as children crying before the errand or noticing the camera. Clear communication and the children's focus on the errand help mitigate these concerns. The service provides a safe way for children to gain new experiences, capturing these moments as priceless family memories.
