I sort of feel like people are not that honest about their own parenting. Take any teenage household; tell me there is not yelling and conflict.

I think if you're a 'tiger parent' early on, you don't need to be a 'helicopter parent' in high school.

To be honest, I know that a lot of Asian parents are secretly shocked and horrified by many aspects of Western parenting.

The Romans thought of themselves as the chosen people, yet they built the greatest army on Earth by recruiting warriors from any background.

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.

Do you know what a foreign accent is? It's a sign of bravery.

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.
