[QUOTE="katya02, post: 402198, member: 2884"] I agree! I think harsh criticism, name calling, and other verbal abuse do nothing but destroy a child's confidence - perhaps forever. I sent the 'Tiger Mother' article to two of my children for their comments and they were both horrified. They thanked me for not using that parenting style. I always second-guess myself because of not having any positive parental model to imitate, so I pretty much got my parenting style from books and from intuition; and then my kids had various problems, so I've always felt that I must have done something wrong, there must have been some better way I could have parented. But I could not have locked my kids outside in the cold for not practising an instrument to my satisfaction, nor could I ever have called them 'garbage'. Been there, done that, on the receiving end that is; got the scars. To this day I don't have confidence. I can empathize with Lac Su's article. [/QUOTE]
