I thought about the article for 3 days, not sure where to start either. Completely over the top, but it did really make me think about expectations we set for our children. <br /><br />I am clearly not a Tiger mother either since I don't require any daily instrument practice, even 20 minutes, among other reasons. <br /><br />Come to think of it, maybe I do have a little in my heart, like Capability. We are, according to our children, the only family in the entire country without a Wii .EHPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08795389357517479909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698519433629464876.post-41951915272675633962011-01-11T21:48:14.831-05:002011-01-11T21:48:14.831-05:00That article/book was brought to my attention by m...That article/book was brought to my attention by my friends over at Brain, Child journal. In fact, they had on their facebook page in response to the article in the WSJ, "I don't even know where to start with this." I don't either. I found it a tad bit horrifying. I'm not a Tiger Mother, that's for sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698519433629464876.post-63202897470650885252011-01-11T21:13:51.507-05:002011-01-11T21:13:51.507-05:00I did reflect on my parenting style (which is very...I did reflect on my parenting style (which is very Western) after reading this. I am not going to change my style but interestingly, I found a bit of Tiger Mother in my heart - although without the brow-beating and 3 hour piano sessions. <br /><br />I do want my children to reach their full potential and to be happy. It's pretty safe to say we all do. It is a great piece and Ms. Chua is to be commended for her honesty in writing it.Capabilityhttp://www.capabilitymom.comnoreply@blogger.com
