[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM is so great for sweeping generalizations!

Everyone thinks that an Indian kid who is a high achiever is not being socialized.

My experience has been that our high performing Indian kids have grown up with tons of socializing , attending and throwing all types of parties and learning the rules of hospitality at home.

They have been born into a community of family and friends and social behavior and conduct is instilled in them from birth. I find it is the Americans who are not socialized properly nor do they have the a sense of hospitality in them.

I have gone to Italian, Greek, Latin, African, Asian, Middle Eastern families and each one of them know how to be welcoming and hospitable. Their children know how to greet and address the guests.  They know how to share their toys, they know how to include everyone!

I have yet to see a shining example of "American socialization" that I would want to have my kids emulate.
