It was fascinating enough to read Ms. Chua’s article and even more fun to read the reactions of readers, I just cannot understand that it was just her thoughts not the “how to” journal why it offended so many moms. I was reading and thinking that she might be little extreme but it worked for her children. She got great kids and I would for sure give her the credit.
I am from India and I have somewhat (but not so) strict upbringing and as a mom I definitely agree to the discipline part (not the force or not listening to the children).
I keep telling my son there is no life without good grades. I knows that world needs artists and other professionals but still good grades are the first step to success in any field. You have to be not only good, extremely good in anything. Deep down we all know how difficult this world will be and we are afraid of it. Our job to make our kids ready for future not to pamper their ego right now and be unhappy all our and their life.
It was a very popular article and looks like she started an international debate over parenting. We all have our ways with our children but we all share a common goal as parents.
Successful and happy children. The debate will go on but one thing is for sure that Eastern parenting style made Ms. Chua very famous and very very rich J
