All
kinds of parents exist in this world, there are strict ones, and others
tend to be more easy-going and flexible with their children. In general, Asian
parents tend to push their children, to do the best they can. They are willing
to sacrifice everything, in order for their children to have a
better future. They tend to be strict with their children, pushing them to
work hard and harder.
On the other hand, most
Westerners tend to raise their children to pursue their passion, to do what
they love the most. They are usually more easy-going and may even treat their
own children as their buddies. Most Westerners also influence their
children to be unique individual, not follow others. In Western culture, a
child’s individuality is quite important. Both styles of
parenting have its pros and cons. The Asian style pushes the children to
do better and better, so that they can have a brighter future. For example,
Asian children usually strive to get a better grade than others in the class.
While the Western style is more easy going and they believe the children should
be independent and free to choose what they want to do and what they do not want
to do. In my personal opinion, I would choose to raise my children using a mix
of both Asian and Western styles of parenting. I believe that children should
have some freedom but not too much or else they will get spoiled.
