When My Kids Wanted To Give Up

You Can't Invent Google, Facebook Or The Ipod Unless You've Mastered The Basics, Are Willing To Put In Long Hours And Can Pick Yourself Up From The Floor When Life Knocks You Down The First 10 Times.

I Do Believe That When Your Child Does Poorly On A Test, Your First Step Should Not Necessarily Be To Attack The Teacher Or The School's Curriculum. It Should Be To Look At The Idea That, Maybe, The Child Didn't Work Hard Enough.

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.

I Think If You're A 'tiger Parent' Early On, You Don't Need To Be A 'helicopter Parent' In High School.

Parenting Cannot Just Be One Size Fits All.
