To be a parent is a passionate business and it consists of anger as well as love. Parenting is a long-term affair. It is much longer than the majority of relationships in child care settings. Parents provide the continuity through the child’s life. Child care providers and teachers come and go in a child’s life, but parents provide the continuity that is needed.

What have you noticed in your students to make you want to address this problem?

A parent’s parenting styles are as diverse as the world we live in today. Nowadays, parents only want what is best for their children and their parenting styles plays a crucial role in the development of children which will in the long run, not only effect the child’s childhood years, but later prolong into their adult life as well.

Parenting is very important to children, and it directly or indirectly affects all aspects of a child's life, from school and behavior to social relationships and sports.

Children are fully dependent on their parents for everything, from food to clothing, from shelter to guidance; in moral and ethical behavior to life skills like decision-making, and financial guidance. It is our job as parents to prepare our children for life?s trials, tribulations and attempt to give them a fulfilling life.

Is there a right way to raise your child? There are really no set rules on how to raise your child, as we can see throughout the articles written by Amy Chua, a self-described “Chinese Tiger Mom” and Hanna Rosin, a “Western Mother,” in The Wall Street Journal in January 2011. These articles show that the two authors have completely different parenting styles. On one hand, Amy Chua believes kids should not go to sleepovers, be in school plays, and get anything less than A's in school except for gym. Meanwhile, Hannah Rosin believes that children need some freedom to express themselves. There are many

The most detrimental one, and one that keeps teachers working differently to give their students the best instruction and guidance they need, are completely disengaged. They don’t demand that their children complete homework or study for tests. They also don’t care if they are coming to school. Because of this it may look like they are ignoring their children and focused more on other areas of their life.

On October 26th 1962, one of the most known authors was born: Amy Chua. Amy Chua was born in Champaign, Illinois in the Unites States. She was raised as a catholic. Despite her having ancestry whom are Chinese, to be more specific Kokkein dialect, she proudly carries around an American identity. She was born in the year of the Tiger. In their culture, that represents people who are fearless, powerful, noble, and authoritative. “My family comes from southern China’s Fujian Province, which is famous for producing scholars and scientists.” Her parents migrated from the Philippines to the States before she was born in order to continue their educational studies. Her father, “Leon Ong Chua is an American electrical engineer and computer scientist. He is a professor in the electrical engineering and computer sciences department at the University of California, Berkeley.” His nationality is Holko and American. On the other side, the authors mother, Diana Chua was born in China and moved to the Philippines at the age of 2. She converted to Catholicism when she was in high school and received a degree in chemical engineering at the University of Santo Tomas. Amy has three sisters and they are all known to be successful in their own ways. Amy Chua has 2 daughters: Sophia and Louisa. With Chua’s Tiger parenting methods, Sophia seems to respect and listen to her mother which is the opposite than Lulu (Louisa). Lulu has more western characteristics. For example, she talks back and doesn’t respect her mother’s orders. Briefly, these aspects form her native identity.

As children grow into adults, they use all that their parents have taught them to become the person they strive to be. How the children turn out to be is what some people find parents responsible for. In Amy Chua’s book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, she tells her story of how she raised her two daughters on her cultures values. After the book was published many problems arose from people on how they parent their child. Many articles, journals and interviews have occurred that people get to express their opinions about Amy Chua’s book.

There aren't any specific rules or guidelines for parenting. Parenting is, in fact, the interpersonal relationship between parents and children. This Relationship is very personal and what works between few parents and children may not be the same for certain parents and children. There are several aspects to consider when deciding how children should be raised and what approach parents need to adapt to grow children in the best way. However behavioral experts suggest few general aspects and approaches that are generally regarded as elements of good parenting and being good parents for children.

All parents have different views on how they should raise their children and different parenting methods. While having children may be "doing what comes naturally", being a good parent is much

In order to push through these struggles during drilling or practicing, harsh punishments may need to be put in place. The need for these punishments allows Chinese parents to get away with “...things that would seem unimaginable - even legally actionable - to Westerners” (Chua). Amy Chua then uses her own experiences to show how harsh the punishments may seem, but in the end the child grows from them. The western parent's strategy toward reprimanding is to do so nicely, in the best attempt not to damage their child's self esteem.

Amy Chua, the author of the much debated book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom was just sitting at her labtop writing on her blog like any regular day. On this day, however, she had just gotten into an argument with her 13 year old daughter. Frustrated, Chua went to her blog to vent. What was just a venting session became an instant controversial debate. She had no clue her blog would turn into a book and that her book would become a worldwide discussion.
