Any suggestion? please post a reply. i rely on your support :) thanks a lot. |

Hehehe and you have just reminded me of something every Asian kid has wild nightmares about - TIGER MOM ! I will not say much, and I will guide you here http://amychua.com/
Here is a good narrative on Amy Chua

ha ha, I like �tiger mom �. Also known as �helicopter mums �. My son accused me of being one! It �s definitely a bad thing. Google �helicopter mom � - there are lots of fun images to start you off. And for anyone who has had parents like that, here �s how to cope. Well, that�s not quite the same as pushy parents.... There are 2 wss on here, debating the pros and cons. That last link isn�t working for me - it�s a great RC and exercises. Just put �lesson A7 pushy parents� into the Contents search box.

What about teaching �should � and �could � and having a set of scenarios. Situations kids find themselves in - and what could or should the parents do to be supportive? And the scenarios? Mm, I �m still thinking. |
