Some parents, I feel put too much pressure on their children. I've seen children crying and miserable because they don't want to go to the karate class/soccer game/hockey game/ music class etc... I'm all for setting your kids in the right direction. But I'm all for them being kids as well. Maria@Conversations with Moms´s last blog post..Only in a Woman’s World - episode 8 & 9

Hi K – re Korean and Asian thinking: super interesting yung discussion on aviation. it’s amazing how KAL transformed into one of the best airline in the world. and Asians on Math – how i wish i have that kind f orientartion. LOL. then, maybe, i could be a true blooded asian talaga.

i really liked reading Outliers, even if it's not as fun as Tipping Point. it had really good insights on the Korean and Asian thinking. i used to think that "sense of entitlement" is a bad thing, but it's not pala. kaytee´s last blog post..acoustic guitar version of U2's One

Very constructive approach of parenting. I'd say it's nice as much as it's consequences. I'm not a parent but from how me and my sis were brought up, parenting is still a trial and error. There's no good or bad means unless you've tried it. eden´s last blog post..Hollywood

korean moms may earn a lot of respect for that but i still don't admire the way they do it...it gives the children too much STRESS, stress that often ruins the child's personality and happiness. cher´s last blog post..NOBODY fever in the Philippines
