Chinese Parents -____-

While reading an article called Why Chinese Parents are Superior, i have concluded that their ideas of how Chinese parents are superior are irrational and and generalized. This is because I know many Chinese parents that are not strict as the so-called “strict parents”. Parents are parents. And their nurturing and ways came from their previous experiences (their parents), so if ones parents are fearful and ungrateful, then that does not mean all Chinese parents are like so.

Here is another controversial idea considering what Chinese parents are:

“What Chinese parents understand is that nothing is fun until you're good at it. To get good at anything you have to work, and children on their own never want to work, which is why it is crucial to override their preferences. This often requires fortitude on the part of the parents because the child will resist; things are always hardest at the beginning, which is where Western parents tend to give up,”.

This implies the idea that parents need to understand the idea that happiness overturns fear. For instance, id Chinese parents do not allow their children to hang out with their friends, this is will prevent them to becoming socially active. Chinese parents assume that it is okay for them to scream, yell, and argue with their children is okay. It ruins their life on a larger scale. Also, they will become behaviorally abused.
First of all, what are superior parents? Is their a handbook on  how parents should treat their children? So, what are inferior parents? Are Chinese parents better them any other group of people? This article is ridiculous; it makes me hate Chinese people even more, just saying.

Stereotypes are unneeded in our society today. Categorizing parents and/or children into a “dumb” and “smart” group crates discrimination and unnecessary comments. As a result, family is family. Parents are parents. And kids are kids. Get over it.
