[quote=Anonymous][quote]+1 From what I have observed, the adult children who were pushed by their parents have more respect/better relationships than those whose parents let them squander their potential. They tend to blame their parents for their failures.[/quote]

From what I have observed in my family and others.  Parents who have mentored their young kids in every sense of the word and instilled concepts of discipline, hard work and accountability early on have kids with better respect for one another and better respect for their elders.  It is not a surprise, in the least, this behaviour is observed in the children of immigrants and Tiger parents.  These kids have not had the chance of getting "spoiled" by American culture.  Jeremy Lin is very typical of this phenomenon that is also witnessed in the children of aspiring non Asiatic immigrants in this country.  This has nothing to do with Kumon or worksheets but for many this is one form of enrichment some can afford.  Private tutors, home nannies, soirees in ski resorts and weekends in the world's prominent art galleries and museums are not within reach or affordable for some of these children and families.
