Chua claims her guiding parenting principle is love, but the examples she herself gives speak for themselves, context notwithstanding. She's creating quite a stir with this piece, both here and in China.Little Green Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08127125861494875459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619984794426934327.post-25677210427373703372011-01-16T15:14:11.552-05:002011-01-16T15:14:11.552-05:00I think her book might have been misrepresented, a...I think her book might have been misrepresented, and that the excerpt was not contextualised. <br />http://www2.macleans.ca/author/annekingston/Liahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14591144811904475409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619984794426934327.post-22968764714819591702011-01-16T14:53:58.425-05:002011-01-16T14:53:58.425-05:00Thanks, Momb.
