Different from most kids, at the age of 5, Hana-chan, from Japan, took care of her family. She washed clothes, cleaned the house and cooked meals.
There is a heartbreaking story behind Hana. Hana’s mother, Chie, was a cancer survivor (癌症幸存者). She loved her family a lot. In her free time, she loved to write something about her family on her blog (博客). Unluckily, the cancer came back when Hana was nine months old. Chie knew that she would never be as lucky as the first time, and wanted to leave something for Hana. “I want to make my daughter able to do as much as she can by herself. I just want to help her so that one day she can take care of herself,” Chie wrote.
And she did. She gave Hana an apron (围裙) as a birthday gift when Hana turned four and taught her to use a knife and cook. She also taught Hana to do other chores. A year later, Chie left Hana and her husband (丈夫), Shingo.
Hana remembers everything that her mother taught her. She once wrote a letter to her mother. “I want to tell you something. I can make a whole bento (便当) now. Aren’t you surprised I’m doing my best.”
To tell Hana how fantastic her mother was and wish Hana to be the same, Shingo turned what Chie wrote on her blog into a book. And the book sold well.

Children need to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. BusyKid is an app (应用程序) that makes doing chores for children easier. Parents set (设定) the chores and the money.
