Old People's Home for 4 Year Olds

As a 29 year old male I would not normally watch something like this on my own but got into it as my partner was watching it and oh boy! Brought quite a couple of tears to my eye. Amazing to see how compasionate and caring humans can actually be, easy to forget as we are constantly flooded with negative news stories. Hope they can implement this model across the country!

It was wonderful to see the development of the children and their grownups. I confess to shedding quite a few tears at the end of the series and hope that this experiment will get aged care organisations more involved in setting up similar programmes.

Originating in the UK - this is reality TV at it finest {and towers over the likes of, e.g., MAFS). Old Peeps Home for 4 yo's is absolutely wonderful for many reasons, one being that it's presented authentically, so we see true, captivating human interactions. Let's hope it never becomes contrived and over-produced because it's perfect as it is - beautiful, adorable, hilarious, heart-warming and life-transforming! Something similar should be in school curriculums, from early learning onward - to open people's minds (and hearts), from an early age to being more understanding, thoughtful, kind, empathetic humans. It'd also help dismantle the culture of ageism, which currently exists, where 'oldies' are largely disrespected and dismissed rather than respected and honoured for their wealth of knowledge, insight, expertise, (probably heaps of life hacks!), etc., and included as an essential, powerful part of society. SO happy Season 2 is in Australia Tue 6 Apr 2021. Also, thanks to all who have brought this genius show to our screens, & shots of pure joy to our pandemic-weary hearts. Heres' to a hundred more seasons!

Just finished watching this on Netflix and it's definitely the best thing I have ever seen on this platform.

Everyone involved, the oldies, the doctors and especially the kids were unbelievably awesome and beautiful.

It made me laugh and cry at the same time with the joy of seeing people being so human.

Watch this and if you are not moved then you are dead inside.

It is obvious from 10m in the first episode that this 'experiment' was a resounding sucess. The fact that 4 year olds are able to motivate older people so easily, is proof positive that this should be brought to more nursiung homes. Animal therapy and this type of 'child therapy' are clearly effective, especially if you have no one in your life like the residents of this show. Very heartwarming.
