5、 READING COMPREHENSION,By Alan Paul,12,PART THREE,Tiger Mom. Meet Panda Dad,I have watched the 1uproar over the Tiger Mom debate with growing annoyance that one simple question remains unasked: Where are the dads? I am a father of three who has been on the frontline of parenting for years, thanks to

6、 my wifes demanding career and my own freelance lifestyle. I refuse to cede the entire discussion about proper child rearing to mothers, Tiger or otherwise. When my kids were 2, 4 and 7, our family of five moved from suburban New Jersey to Beijing. Our 31/2 years in China give me an unusual insight

7、into what author Amy Chua claims is not only the best way of parenting but also the Chinese way,I have watched the 1uproar over the Tiger Mom debate with growing annoyance that one simple question remains unasked: Where are the dads,Tiger Mom,I have observed the noisy confusion over the debate of Ti

8、ger Mom, and I am getting more and more annoyed because of the fact that a simple question is still not asked: What are the roles and positions of the dads,13,PART THREE,During our first weeks in Beijing, we attended a talent show at our childrens British school and watched Chinese students ascend t

9、he stage and play Chopin etudes and Beethoven symphonies, while their Western counterparts ambled up and proudly played the ABCs under their flapping arms. It was enough to make anyone pause and ponder the way we are raising our kids. But time in China also taught me that while some here view a Chin

10、ese education as the gold standard, many there are questioning the system, noting that it stifles creativity and innovation, two things the nation sorely needs. Further, having seen it in action, I have a strong aversion to hard driving “Tiger” parenting, certain that is not a superior method if you

Though I have had primary child care duties since our eldest son was bor

12、n 13 years ago, I too have always worked, sometimes juggling a variety of demanding deadlines with an increasingly complex family schedule. As a result, controlled chaos reigns in our houseand it works for us, even if this has befuddled some friends and family members and sent weak-kneed babysitters

13、 scurrying for the door. It has also been a plus for our children, giving them space to take on responsibilities, be independent and see their parents pursuing their own interests and careers while also being very involved in one anothers lives.

To make a sweeping generalization, moms tend to be more detai

17、l oriented, and order driven. Dads often care less about the mess, can live with a bit more chaos and more easily adopt a big picture view. If my wife and I swapped positions, life would certainly be more orderly. But she cedes to my style of parenting because I am in charge of the day-to-day stuff.

18、 Her ability to do this is a key to us having a strong, thriving relationship; you cant backseat drive how your children are being raised8. This only works if you share the same basic values and the differences are small bore rather than big picture. She would not tolerate me calling the kids garbag

21、lities and interests. Our home is like a state university, where you can get a great education but you have to do your own legwork. A typical night: one kid has a big project due, another has a school play, the third has soccer practice; mom is working late because there is an international crisis b

Its sheer narcissism to believe that your childs every success and failu

28、that our child rearing is too laid back. The shallowness of this concept will be obvious to anyone who has ever stalked a suburban soccer sideline or listened to New York parents prep their month old for nursery school interviews.

The appeal in contemporary America stems from a sen

30、se that our nation is becoming stratified in similar ways and is about to get steamrolled by China. If you cant beat them, join them,It also seems insane to cast an eye around the upper-middle class American milieu Ms. Chua is discussing and conclude that the problem is that our child rearing is too

31、 laid back,It also seems very foolish to take a look at the situation of the upper middle class American families that Amy Chua is discussing in her book and quickly come to the conclusion that our way of rearing children is too relaxed. a. cast an eye aroundlook around quickly b. laid backunworried
