We spend hours playing in the woods, and making crafts, and it seems like a childhood well spent.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02008081263431261048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16738224314669670.post-23781268417313836362011-01-18T17:51:20.881-08:002011-01-18T17:51:20.881-08:00I definitely would never be a Tiger Mother, nor do...I definitely would never be a Tiger Mother, nor do I think I'll be overly permissive (my son is 2). I really don't get the rules about only choosing piano or violin, and why no school plays-- what if what your kid is destined to be successful in is acting? Or a playwright? <br /><br />And not letting the child eat or use a bathroom until they had met your goal seems abusive to me-- if an adult did that to another adult we would definitely call it abuse, why are we calling it parenting here? Sigh, kids from this upbringing might be successful in some ways but I am of the opinion that success in a career isn't the end all be all. I would so much rather my son be happy, be loved, give love, be kind, and follow his dreams than be "successful".Katehttp://woollydragonslair.usnoreply@blogger.com
