Oddly Enough, I'm Not A Particularly Judgmental

All Decent Parents Want To Do What's Best For Their Children. The Chinese Just Have A Totally Different Idea Of How To Do That.

I Kind Of - I Like My Life, I Feel I Have Lots Of Opportunities. And My Parents Actually Having Had Such High Expectations For Me - I Would Say It's The Greatest Gift That Anyone Has Ever Given Me. I Complained A Lot When I Was Little, But That's How I Feel Now. And That's Why I Tried To Do The Same With My Two Daughters.

When My Kids Wanted To Give Up On Things, I Wouldn't Let Them, And Those Are Lifelong Lessons.

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.

Most Things Are Difficult At The Beginning And They Become Fun, Something You Love, Only After You've Worked At Them.
