[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally disagree with this. The tiger parents I know--affluent suburb as well--are concerned with success in school/music/sports and that's it--not character. I[b]n other ways, they seem to totally spoil their kids, baby them, let them run totally wild, and treat them like their opinions and whims are of more value than those of adults. I have seen these parents applaud disrespectful behavior as "independent." Like when the kids talk back to adults, they are praised for making themselves heard and for voicing strong opinions.[/b] I agree with OP and cannot stand it.

I will admit that I am surprised that these same parents, who let shocking things go behavior-wise, are extremely tough when it comes to academics. I suppose it's better to be strict about something than nothing. But I am very turned off by this trend.[/quote]

Completely agree with every word here. [/quote]

I agree and no surprise. The parents are focusing their energy on what they find to be important and allow their kid to "succeed." Little do they know they're raising a little smart-@ss $hithead. Character and respect for elders is first and foremost in our household. I hear from others how their little Johnny snaps back at them and the parents just shrug it off as "little Johnny is just a difficult kid." Nah, you're just a bad parent and you let your kid run the house. Many parents delusionally think their little "Johnny" is special so let him get away with bad behavior. Parents are definitely soft these days.[/quote]
