Parenting Cannot Just Be One

I Think The Biggest Difference Is That I've Noticed Western Parents Seem Much More Concerned About Their Children's Psyches, Their Self-esteem, Whereas Tough Immigrant Parents Assume Strength Rather Than Fragility In Their Children And Therefore Behave Completely Differently.

When I'm Not The Tiger Mom, I'm A Professor At Yale Law School, And If One Thing Is Clear To Me From Years Of Teaching, It's That There Are Many Ways To Produce Fabulous Kids. I Have Amazing Students; Some Of Them Have Strict Parents, Others Have Lenient Parents, And Many Come From Family Situations That Defy Easy Description.

I'm Suggesting That, Ironically, The Secret To Becoming A World 'hyperpower' Is Tolerance. If You Look At History, You See Great Powers Being Very Tolerant In Their Rise To Global Dominance.

To Be Honest, I Know That A Lot Of Asian Parents Are Secretly Shocked And Horrified By Many Aspects Of Western Parenting.

I Am Definitely A Type A Personality, Always Rushing Around, Trying To Do Too Much, Not Good At Just Lying On The Beach. But I'm So Thankful For Everything I Have: Wonderfully Supportive Parents And Sisters, The Best Husband In The World, Terrific Students I Love Teaching And Hanging Out With, And Above All, My Two Amazing Daughters.
