Amy Chua gives insight on the Asian method of rearing children. Her claim, that Asian parents raise their children better is quite a radical approach. Throughout her article she gives her western audience the values and ways, specifically, Asian mother's teach their children. In a harsher, and stricter approach her claim that it is a better method seems to hold little truth. Although Asian approaches have shown good outcomes, both methods are different holding good and faults on each side. Chua gives her audience the positives of her strict parenting but fails to show the side effects and the emotional damage that can be cause by lack of emotional rearing. Raised from both Asian parents, I can fully value the strictness and care my mother has given me but have also seen the down faults of Asian parents who have failed to reach their children on an emotional level.
