I'm an Asian immigrant.  This is because immigrant parents aren't scared to discipline their kids. Most of these cultures are respectful of their elders (though, sadly, that seems to be changing, too).  They have not been indoctrinated by [b]the latest American parenting techniques.[/b]  Give it a generation.   I'm not saying all American parenting techniques are bad, but there's something about it that is producing spoiled, entitled brats who feel it's ok to be disrespectful to adults.[/quote]

Which American parenting technique endorses not disciplining your children? I guess it depends on how you define "discipline".

I'm also pretty sure that people have been complaining for at least the last 2,000 years about the spoiled, entitled brats these days who feel it's ok to be disrespectful to adults .[/quote]
Yes, the problem is how parents define "discipline".  All I know is SE Asian and African parents are much more firm in their discipline than American parents.   These parents aren't worried about their kids liking them, or being their kids' friends.  They also haven't been conditioned to be afraid of a neighbor calling cps on them for giving a swat to the bottom, so they aren't afraid to discipline their kids.  They aren't afraid of hurting their kids' delicate egos.

Not saying their discipline techniques are great, but there is really something about the American parenting style that is making our kids behave this way, because as the teacher PP noted, you don't see this kind of behavior in immigrant children.[/quote]
