By way of introduction, this blog's purpose is to act as a counterpoint to the misconception that Asians raise their children via a "Chinese Mother" and/or "Tiger Mother" methodology.
Moreover, if there is indeed a surefire methodology to mold a child to meet parental expectations and succeed in this game we call Life, I'd like to see the data linking causation to said methodology. To suggest there is a foolproof methodology for child achievement is more of a reflection on the parent's attempt to quell their own anxiety over their child's future.
By way of full disclosure and as a disclaimer, I have no formal training in child development or psychology; my only parental credentials are limited to being a father to two wonderful kids.
"To suggest there is a foolproof methodology for child achievement is more of a reflection on the parent's attempt to quell their own anxiety over their child's future" ...and the epitome of hubris run amok.

ReplyDeleteI would never have accused you of being a Chinese Mother. You're more of a Cubs Wait til Next Year kind of parent
