虽然不能苟同全部，但是的确非常有收获，特别是下面一句。

there's nothing better for building confidence than learning you can do something you thought you couldn't.

我觉得自己比较赞同的一些：

1。中国家长通常会从孩子本身找问题，而不是抱怨学校。其实这是比较负责的态度。

2。中国家长不会太在意孩子的自尊心，虽然我不赞同，但是盲目保护自尊心有时候反而会伤害自尊心，比如你夸一个明显很胖很难看的女孩很漂亮

3。中国家长相信苯鸟先飞，美国崇尚天生聪明。

Western parents try to respect their children's individuality, encouraging them to pursue their true passions, supporting their choices, and providing positive reinforcement and a nurturing environment. By contrast, the Chinese believe that the best way to protect their children is by preparing them for the future, letting them see what they're capable of, and arming them with skills, work habits and inner confidence that no one can ever take away.
