The author's family moved from New Orleans to Okinawa, Japan, facing challenges such as adapting to a new environment, with its language and cultural barriers. Initially overwhelmed, feelings of anxiety were replaced by appreciation as the author discovered that parenting was much easier in Okinawa. The island's public infrastructure caters to children, featuring facilities that simplify daily activities, unlike in the US. Playgrounds, baby care rooms, and kid-friendly amenities transformed the experience, allowing parents to feel supported in their parenting journey.
Moving to Okinawa was incredibly challenging, but once the dust settled, I realized parenting here was easier due to child-friendly public spaces.
The stress of checking out groceries in Japan amplified my initial struggles, but eventually, I found the child-centered design made life much simpler.
