So there has been a furor both online and in main stream media about a book one law professor wrote on raising her children, with quite a bit discussion to date. Because of misunderstandings, both she and her offspring have come out to clear any misunderstandings.
Personally, i'm ambivalent about it. Until 10 months ago, i wouldn't have understood, but now do I understand the situation she presents, i.e. how to decide what is best for your child. We ask ourselves time and again, are we stimulating her enough? Or too little? Is she progressing well? Are we doing the right thing? It can get a little overwhelming and her way (not saying it's the Asian way) suggests the extreme, that you don't know how far they can go until you 'stretch' them. We have our own style of parenting which we adapt from what we read and learn, and try our best to provide for her development in every way. Not sure how this will go, but it'll be an experience for all involved! Stay tuned for more updates on this. =)
