I think Amy Chua should stop teaching law school and start one of those supernanny shows where she shows up to some middle america suburban house in indiana somewhere and starts screaming at the kids to play piano. That would be awesome.
“Same thing when parents crouch down and have a long conversation with their kids about how it would really be best if they didn’t do xyz instead of just telling them to STFU and / or giving them a whack in the backside. Kids expect their parent to act like parents and get confused and anxious when they don’t.”
Lech, you need to speak to Mrs C STAT! There have been many times I’ve tried to subtley interrup her hour long “negotiation” with The Champs to ask her to please stop explaining it over and over and just tell them how it’s going to be!
