How a child gets educated primarily depends on how the family sees education. Making a kid practise music three hours a day is not necessary for development of the mind or wisdom. And is mean if the child would rather play baseball. Having the freedom to play freely when young is essential to good mental health. All if takes to raise kids who study hard is example by the family. But as important as learning is, it must be accompanied by a childhood filled with freedom to be lazy and filled with lots of laughter and love. KIds love to learn if given the chance. I found raising children very easy. I just let me tell them what their needs were. Going to school was something my kids loved. It is all a matter of how education is presented to the child.

<< 18-year-old Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld says her mother’s “tough love” parenting methods raised her to be an independent thinker who makes the most of new opportunities. Read more: nypost.com I find tough love so stupid and venal I want to set my hair on fire everytime I hear it. Soft love works much better.
