What Chinese Parents Understand Is That Nothing

Both Of My Girls Have Very High Self-esteem Because They Were Both Able To Master Certain Things; I Should Think That's Good For Their Confidence.

I Worry That By Losing My Temper So Much And Being So Harsh And Yelling So Much That, By Example, I Will Have Taught My Daughters To Be That Way, And I'm Now Constantly Telling Them Not To Do That.

The Most Successful Hyperpowers Are The Ones Where There Was Actual Intermixing. Tang Dynasty China Was Chinas Golden Age, And Contrary To What I Was Told When I Was Growing Up, Tang China Was Founded By A Man Who By Todays Standards Was No More Than Half Chinese. It Was A Mixed-blood Dynasty That Pulled In "barbarians" From The Steppe.

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.

We All Want To Do The Right Thing For Our Children. We All Don't Know What That Is And We All - You Know, You Won't Know Until The Future.
