Those things come from a lack of parenting.

Which, of course, is a form of parenting. Just out of curiosity, were you educated in the West?

The truth is that most math beyond an 9th grade level is virtually useless unless you go into sciences, and your kid most likely won’t.

In the same way abstinence is a sex position.

Both. I’ve had education both in Taiwan and the States.

If you think abstinence is a sex position, you may have bigger fish to fry.

[Willz]

I don’t.

@Willz

I don’t.

Sorry, I shouldn’t be picking on you. Please continue with your sweeping statements.

Too much can cause bloating though.

Better bloated than eating tasteless food. Don’t you hate how McDonald’s here keeps skimping on the salt? Keep having to order extra salt with my fries.

Trying to see the parenting angle here. Keep your kids well salted?

My parents raised me little closer to an Eastern style even though we’re American. Many aspects of Western parenting wouldn’t have worked for me, culturally.

I think there’s something to be gained from both styles but balance is overall important.

Discipline is good and western kids can be sorely lacking in it…

May I ask about the styles of Western Parenting vs Eastern Parenting of children and even pets?

From what I have researched so far, Eastern Parenting are too strict too regimented in the teaching and evolution of their children.

On the other hand, while Western Parenting are more lenient in their approach towards disciplining their children, from what I have researched, there is far less discipline in children growing up in the western world compared to children growing up in the eastern world.

As everyone on this board speak and write English, I am sure that the majority are more familiar with Western Parenting, Western Education and children growing up in Western Worlds rather than the East.

I am also looking for movies or books or even TV dramas which portray stories of children’s experiences growing up in the West.

Well, I understand that all children growing up in our world have undergone through a lot of abuse.

A lot of people say that Eastern children grow up to be more successful and more disciplined in their approach towards life.

A lot of people disagree with the alcoholism, drugs, crime, sex, party lifestyles in the West especially the USA especially L.A. Hollywood.

Yet a lot of Western expats who are working and living in the East. whom I personally know anyway, are just shaking their heads at the dog-eat-dog too over-competitive, too money-faced eastern materialistic desires in the Far East countries.

I mean, I did explore the Taiwanese, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Japan, South Korea business scene over the last 10 years of my life.

I don’t know, My soul cried for mercy when it come to doing business, Those of you doing business or working in the corporate world…

Are you tired with all the money which you are endlessly slaving away for?

Sure, you may earn more than a few hundred thousand dollars per year, I am talking USD now, but seriously is it worth it.

I don’t know.

Do you think a monk vs a corp guy… What can each achieve against each other?

Well the question is, the monk vs the corp guy, who can find the inner peace the inner happiness in their everyday moment, everyday lives?

How is that relevant to this topic?

What do you teach your child, Forumosa?

What did your parents teach you, Forumosa?

And would you teach your children the same things which your parents taught you?

So this is why I am asking what do Western Parents teach vs what Eastern Parents teach?

Please… Please Teach Me…

Considering that 95% of the people who post here self-report having ADHD, I’m sort of surprised anybody made it through that post.

What’s it say?

Don’t let me get on my soapbox.

How about take the good stuff from each.

My wife is Taiwanese and a strict rap em’ by the knuckles til it’s done right type. I’m the lenient slack Western moral reprobate and the good cop at home. Total odd couple but it’s made for a pretty good balance in our kids, thankfully.

¯_(ツ)_/¯. I don’t know about corporal punishment. I’m on the fence but as I’ve told some family members I reserve the right to hit my kid at least once.

Whatever works for you and your wife is important because this world won’t care about them like you do.
