I was floored by this article: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life...why-chinese-parenting-is-best/article1864813/ One of the crazy things is the title is so messed up. At the end of it, the mom is basically admitting she went overboard. Calling your kids names? Come on, this is absurd! I do think that sometimes we (myself included) are too lenient, but that is just too strict. There has to be a balance.
I agree that there has to be a balance. I want my children to be mature, responsible, kind, honest, loving men, but I also want them to be children.
I think she is a bit extreme. But I think all parents are probably too lenient in some areas and too strict in others.
