[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My traditional Asian upbringing is coming out, but there's nothing wrong with telegraphing to a child that they're not "good enough." It helps them up their game. It obviously doesn't make them more intelligent, but it makes them work that much harder until they get the top grades, awards etc. Asian countries are built on this model. Before you say that those parents don't love their kids -- the view is that it's a tough world out there, if we demand their best and toughen them up, nothing that they face after this will be hard for them.[/quote] This may work for some kids, but I know a number of people who were raised this way who are too bitter and angry to form relationships, and a few who are still trying to meet their parents' impossible standards into their forties, I.e., they never separated themselves from their parents to become healthy adults.[/quote]
