Why Chinese Mothers are Superior

The problem with being overtly strict is that the kids might eventually rebel and wild out later on in life.

Actually, if rebellion occurs later on in life, it means that the child never grasped or appreciated the concept of discipline and practice, as well as the obvious benefits and advantages that would occur from such practices...

that article is lame... making your kid learn the violin and piano will make them good people? she almost sounds racist, lol

A child that is trained to play a classical music instrument or speak a foreign language is generally more successful and more disciplined as an adult.

There might also be a class-based self-selection process here. Many of the subjects already come from middle class backgrounds.

wtf are they making robot army?

attend a sleepover
• watch TV or play computer games

i say its child abuse

that parent is a idiot

:2 cents:

There ya go, another reason to hire a chinese nanny.

That recipe sounds like a disaster, I think she just got lucky in the DNA game.

i'd rather my kid enjoy life than grow up an joyless robot.

If you've already made the effort to emigrate then you are more likely to be trying to manufacture successful children. Plus there's a pool of 1.3billion people to pick from and all the thick ones go nowhere.

"They wonder what these parents do to produce so many math whizzes and music prodigies,"

I saw a documentary recently that showed these young kids, probably no older than 6, doing some pretty amazing mental arithmetic.

The teacher would read out the sum and the instant he finished talking, all the kids hands shot up with the answer.

I think you're talking about that 'Brainetics' shit?

why you want them to give your websites hits ? :321GFY

i see a lesbian sister gangbang in the making...

I don't think they mentioned a name for it. I think it was about getting them to visualise the abacus in their head.

i dont understand.
whats ur point? :upsidedow

But they still can't drive.

Yeah that mode of parenting worked wonders for Mao parents. He was quite the achiever.

Yeah but they can fucking clean laundry.

yep. Remember China is COMMUNIST. The individual does not matter.

my point is, look what the internet is full of, alot of worthless porn and shit. :2 cents:

your kids will thank you later in life when they realize you didnt let them waste the time they had when they were learning the most on tv, computer games and stuff that won't matter the minute it's over

no one needed tv or computer games 100 years ago when stuff like that wasnt around

what is the point of success if you don't know how to have fun and enjoy it? will i encourage my kids? sure. will i force them? no.

Perhaps they are more strict than average.

There are 3 BILLION chinese people, of course there are going to be standouts, it's surprising they don't rule the world yet.

I agree.

my mom was the best :)

I love to eat out chinese. (get it? chinese mom? eat out?) Damn, I crack myself up sometimes :)

fun doesn't have to be non productive time wasting

One thing for sure, my kids will be limited to 1h of TV and video games a day, and it will be after everything else is done.

It depends. If the parent is genuinely very strong and controlling, the teenager will still never want to fuck with them. But if you are some ex-hippie parent who decided to raise your kids in a strict way, the kids will fucking own you when they become teenagers.

I would suggest always being true to yourself. Kids know if you're being genuine or not. My parents let me run free. I made mistakes, but I hated doing anything that would disappoint them. They didn't yell and scream when the police brought me home in the back of the police car, but I felt very guilty. Not scared, guilty.

I'm far more straight laced than the rest of my family today. I'm quite a square.
