日本では、音楽を聞きに行ったり、絵や映画を見に行ったりすることが好きな人でも、子供が小さいうちは、①行くのを我慢してしまうことがあります。子供は、騒いでしまう心配があるので連れて行けないし、人に預けることも簡単ではないからです。
しかし、最近は少しずつですが、子供を預かってくれる音楽会場や美術館、映画館などが増えてきました。また、②親子が楽しめるように工夫をするところも出てきています。例えば、ある映画館では、映画の間も会場を少し明るくしておくそうです。暗いと、怖がって泣いてしまう子供がいるからです。大きな音を聞くと、びっくりする子供もいるので、音も大きすぎないようにしてあります。
このように、最近は、小さな子供がいる人が安心して、出かけて楽しめる場所が増えてきています。

In Japan, even people who enjoy going to listen to music or to see paintings and movies sometimes refrain from going while their children are still small. This is because they cannot take their children along for fear that they may make noise, and it is not easy to leave them in someone else's care either.
Recently, however, although the number is still small, more and more concert halls, museums, cinemas, and similar places have begun offering childcare. There are also places that have begun making special arrangements so that parents and children can enjoy themselves together. For example, at one cinema, they reportedly keep the theater slightly lit even while the movie is playing. This is because some children become frightened and cry when it is dark. Since some children are startled by loud sounds, the volume is also kept from becoming too loud.
In this way, there are now more and more places where people with small children can go out and enjoy themselves with peace of mind.
