Small Mental 'Steel', Jennifer Bachdim's 10-Year-Old Son Returns to Indonesia Alone from the Netherlands

Dream - Releasing a child at the age of 10 to travel internationally alone is certainly not an easy task. The child must have a 'steel' mentality and be trained for it.

It seems that the Bachdim family, namely Mama Jennifer and Papa Irfan, have prepared their children's mentality to be independent. In Jennifer Bachdim's Instagram post, it is known that their 10-year-old son named Kenji has just returned to Indonesia from the Netherlands alone.

During this time, it turns out that Kenji has been living in the Netherlands with his uncle and aunt who are Irfan Bachdim's family. Kenji is in the Netherlands because he wants to pursue his dream of becoming a football player like his father, who is a former Indonesian national football team player.

"Our son, Kenji, has returned home and we miss him so much! It seems like I never told you (except to my subscribers 🧶🏽‍♀️) Kenji is living in the Netherlands with my brother and sister-in-law because he wants to pursue his dream as a soccer player!" Jennifer wrote.

Kenji wants to practice a lot and gain experience playing football in Europe. That is what makes him travel back and forth between Indonesia and the Netherlands. As parents, Jennifer and Irfan strongly support their son's aspirations.

"We have been talking for several years about the possibility of him going to Europe to play football, but I always thought he would go once he turned 12 years old.. now he's 10 years old and he's chasing his dream!! Very dedicated, motivated, and truly focused on his goal, of course without us pushing him!!! He begged to stay in Europe and finally play for a professional football club in Europe 👏🏽 honestly, this month is a small trial to see how his condition is, and he's doing it amazingly!" Mama Jen said.

Return to Bali from the Netherlands Alone.

Far from parents, then learning a new language, adapting, and setting goals at the age of only 10 years old is certainly a very difficult task. Kenji proves that he can do it.

"You are a brave child, moving to a new country, learning a language, and flying alone from the Netherlands to Bali!!! You are amazing, my child!!! \u2764\ufe0f," expressed Jennifer."

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: "Kenji's video upon arriving in Bali after flying alone looks so relieving and joyful. Kenji was warmly welcomed by Mama Jen and Papa Irfan, even his siblings prepared a welcoming banner for him."

Netizens are very impressed with this family because their 10-year-old son is already very independent. "Kenji's mentality is so cool. But what's equally cool is Mom Jen, as a mother I probably wouldn't have the appetite to eat for a week thinking about my child flying alone between continents \ud83d\ude2d\u2764\ufe0f," wrote @ariwidya_mcbali.

"Oh wow how he manage to fly long flight alone? How independent he is 👏," respons @indahaira."Wow, he's already mentally strong at such a young age.. I hope Kenji achieves his dreams!," expressed @diazananda."
