The success of children can be how they are raised

The success of children can be the reflection of how they are raised. There are mothers that believe in the very strict authoritarian rule to obtain success and there are mothers that are overly nurturing to achieve success. Both styles may produce wonderful successful children; however are the children happy within their family structure? I will discuss how two different cultures, Chinese child rearing and Jewish child rearing produce successful offspring. Chinese families traditionally raise their children based on Confucius’ teachings which emphasize the virtues of filial piety, parental control, obedience, strict discipline, respect for elders, and reverence for tradition. They also emphasize the obligations to family and the importance of education. This style of parenting is known as authoritarian which is shaping and controlling the child, placing high volume on obedience, respect for authority and discourage parent child communication. Chinese mothers believe their children can be the best students and that academic achievement reflects successful parenting. Chinese parents understand that nothing is fun until you are good at it. To be good requires work. Kids do not like to work. Parents will override their preferences. If a Chinese child is ever disrespectful, they are openly reprimanded and made to feel shameful. Chinese parents demand perfect grades. To have substandard grades means the child did not work hard enough and to shame them or punish them to remember to do better. They believe their children can handle it. Chinese parents believe their children owe them everything because they have sacrificed so much for them. Chinese parents what is best for their children and never allow their children to question them.
Chinese parents will push their children if practicing a musical instrument to master the tune until it is perfected. A parent may deny food, restroom breaks; threaten the child with harsh punishment and ridicule.
