Chinese Parenting
13 years ago
I do not think all Chinese parents are a like and not all can do what the author says she has been doing. The author from what i have read is a full time professor so that alone will take a lot of her time away from home. I have later read that she has help in the form of two nanny's so not every Chinese parent will have that luxury. Western parents well many i have seen do push their children hard for them to get great or perfect grades. In a general way of seeing things what i have noticed in Hong Kong is that most of the parents do not value emotions as much as results. I noticed also in Hong Kong parents and people in general dont ask questions or talk about emotions compared to back home in Florida. JW
