The Mythical Chinese Mother: Parenting or Child Abuse? | Baron VC
Raising children is not abuse. Raising them strictly, likewise, is not abuse. Refusing—out of laziness or indulgence, a soft heart or a soft head, to raise children—THAT is abuse. Specifically, it’s willful, indolent neglect.
Children are not, never have been and never will be “miniature adults.” The best they can do is ape adulthood, carry out a childish mimicry of it, that results in teen pregnancy, juvenile crime or at best total ruin for the children subjected to this empty-headed laziness.
Treating children as if they’re anything other than children, THAT is child abuse.
It’s really simple: Most Asian cultures value education and hold in high regard those with an education. Conversely American culture actually denigrates education and mocks anyone with actual expertise.
How many times have you heard an American politician say, “He’s some Harvard educated professor!” As if that were a bad thing.
The American public is paranoid about its own intellectual inadequacies so belittles anyone that has accomplished more than them academically.
