I Did you ever spend a day at work with your mom or dad when you were a kid? I did, many times. I still remember the excitement of discovering something new each time my mom let me work in her office or my dad let me help in his restaurant.
II Giving kids a chance to experience the adult working world is the idea behind Kidzania. Kidzania is a special kind of amusement park for youngsters between the ages of four and 14. Xavier Ancona, a Mexican businessman, started Kidzania in 1999. Since then he has opened parks in 15 locations around the world.
III Kidzania activities are different in each park, but they are all like real jobs. In Mexico, kids can pretend they are flying jet planes, building a new car or driving a tourist bus. In Japan, they can work in candy shops, sell cars or work on a building site. In India, they can be newspaper reporters, dentists or even surgeons. These experiences expose kids to different career opportunities.
IV Kids learn another important skill at Kidzania: how to save money. The youngsters are paid for their work in Kidzania’s own money, “kidzos”. They are taught how to open their own accounts in the park’s bank where they can save these kidzos. They can spend this special money on food, drink and entertainment, but only in a Kidzania park.
V Kidzania’s message is “Get Ready for the Real World”. I agree with this message. Trying out different jobs and learning how to save money aren’t bad lessons to teach kids. However, for them to be really successful adults they also need to learn another lesson. They need to learn the value of helping others. Shouldn’t Kidzania encourage youngsters to do things for other people?
VI Moreover, the entrance fee to Kidzania in Mexico, for example, is $15 per child. A day at the park is clearly not an experience that Mexico’s low-income families can afford. In my opinion, they need to first focus on ways to allow kids from poor families to benefit from the parks. They need to give these children a chance to see the many possibilities available to them in life.
