When it comes to parenting, Asian parents are quite known for their strict style in handling their children. Americans are more lenient and their kids get to experience more freedom than children with Asian parents.
A study shows that Asian American kids are more obedient and are more behaved because of their "tiger moms." When it comes to their academics and school achievements, Asian kids are even stereotyped to be overachievers. According to a research published by Stanford University, among the reasons why Asian kids are known achievers is because their moms are always beside them.
There are lots of techniques that Western parents could learn from Asians. Here are the top 3 parenting tips that we have gathered so far:
1. Discipline: Asian parents don't take no for an answer. When they want their child to get things done, they make it a point that they will obey. Asian parents are very firm with their words and have a tone that could really make a child follow.
2. Asian Parents Are Not Afraid To Ask For Help: Babble shared a post referring to mothers in China who are honest enough to ask for help when they need it. Since this is a generation when mothers are also working, it is only fitting that they call their "ayi" or angels for help in taking care of their children.
3. Openness: Despite their known "tiger parenting" image, Asian American kids are more open to their parents when it comes to their relationship. They know they could trust their parents, which is why it is easy for them to be open about the subject of romance and the like. Stanford University has backed up this study.
