We're an Asian family living in Bethesda with kids from elementary to high school, and while I definitely see the mindfulness, low-competition, anti-comparison trend surging in neighboring elementary schools, it is not explicitly or even implicitly linked to Asian families. It's more because our area attracts wealthy, educated families from all ethnicities and nationalities, who have high educational standards and demand more challenge from the schools, and the schools and some progressive parents push back to protect young students' mental health.

In middle and high school, you can bet that all that stuff goes out of the window as college applications start looming in the most progressive parents' heads... :-)

WTH?!? We’re in Bethesda too, WWHS specifically, but this post makes it seem like mental health is not something worth valuing. It’s BS that concern for mental health goes out the window as kids get older and it’s not just a “progressive” thing. Talk about stereotyping. [/quote]
