At least I didn't force my children to learn instruments (I did suggest mind you, but neither was interested). Thank you for agreeing with me for raising the bar, I just want them to do their best and be the best they can be. Btw, I don't mind long comments at all :)Cathy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15962518540466499644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021124444138903772.post-31853098483627208222012-07-15T03:58:56.145+10:002012-07-15T03:58:56.145+10:00Have you read the book?

I believe as a society (at least here in the US) we're raising lazy, average children because we are satisfied with "good enough" (and because we want to be friends with our kids - but that's a whole different story!!). The author Amy Chau, she scared the ___ out of me! and I think she was extreme in her methods. But I do think we need to raise the bar and push our kids more if we want them to be ambitious, successful adults. Sorry for the long winded comment, sometimes I can't help myself (maybe if I'd had more discipline!)RobinBrzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16529036593590503535noreply@blogger.com
