[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH was like this as he’s Indian and was raised by authoritarian parents. When they said “jump” he “jumped”. I showed him studies on Janet Lansbury’s site that concluded that interrupting play or conversation without warning had a negative effect on the child’s ability to concentrate later in school. No idea if that true but it made DH stop doing it immediately and we had far fewer tantrums. I just think what our husbands were/are doing is so disrespectful to our kids. [/quote] I just read that JL article today! Came up on my News feed. [/quote] Since Indians and Asians outperform whites on nearly every academic metric, maybe you should listen to your spouse instead of lecturing on how your way is better. [/quote] I don’t understand your logic at all. I am Indian and we have high academic expectations but we also respect our kids and give them the courtesy of 5-minute warnings before bath, etc.[/quote]
