Be Modest, Be Humble, Be Simple.make Sure

I Was Raised, Myself, By Extremely Strict But Also Extremely Loving Chinese Immigrant Parents. To This Day, I Believe That Their Having High Expectations For Me, Coupled With Love, Was The Greatest Gift That Anyone's Ever Given Me. And So That's Why, Even Though My Husband Is Not Chinese, I Try To Raise My Own Two Daughters The Same Way.

I Do Think That Maybe, Even Subconsciously, A Lot Of Parents In The West Are Wondering, Have We Gone Too Far In The Direction Of Coddling And Protecting - You Know, You See Kids, Sometimes That Seem Very Rude And Disrespectful. And The More Important Thing Is They Don't Seem That Happy.

There Are All Kinds Of Psychological Disorders In The West That Don't Exist In Asia.

There's Something Suspicious About Saying, 'i'm Just Going To Leave My Child Alone And Let Her Pursue Her Passions.' You Know What? I Think Most 13-year-olds' Passion Is Sitting In Front Of The Tv, Or Doing Facebook, Or Surfing The Internet For Hours.

Western Parents Try To Respect Their Children’s Individuality, Encouraging Them To Pursue Their True Passions, Supporting Their Choices, And Providing Positive Reinforcement And A Nurturing Environment. By Contrast, The Chinese Believe That The Best Way To Protect Their Children Is By Preparing Them For The Future, Letting Them See What They’re Capable Of, And Arming Them With Skills, Work Habits, And Inner Confidence That No One Can Ever Take Away.
