Parenting after 35

Interesting article re essay on Chinese parenting

I just thought this was an interesting commentary on the underlying essay (which is linked in the blog).  Funny, it is one of those things where I can see the rewards but I don't think I can stop praising my kids, encouraging them and basically doing more Western stuff.

  • Who knew my mom was Chinese?!?!

    "Do better, Heather." "So you got an A-. What would it ave taken for you to get an A?" " Your father and I are both smart, so you can't be stupid!"

    Ahem, anyhoo... carrot and stick?

    eta: Too much carrot from Dad. Too much stick from Mom. Reckon I'll end up somewhere in between Mom and Dad, Chinese and Western with M.
