Thank you Jody – I quite enjoyed Ms. Chua’s book and was fascinated to learn about her parenting choices and experiences. I could not replicate her approach because, although I have high expections of my children, I do want them to have time and space to dream, explore and discover. As well, I want them to know that I will be there to cheer their successes and, if necessary wipe their tears. I am sure both boys will encounter teachers, coaches, professors and employers who don’t see their “potential.” Their dad and I will always be in the background, encouraging, supporting and believing.
