Features: Although American-style family education differs greatly from ours, the heart of caring for children is the same. I believe that as long as you genuinely care for your child, this book will surely be helpful to you. — Professor Fan Xianzuo, Ph.D. Supervisor of the School of Education, Central China Normal University
Parents, especially young parents in contemporary China, should really read this book carefully. They love their children too much, and excessive indulgence is not true love. Love requires scientific and appropriate methods. — Mr. Yin Chengdong, a renowned scholar and translator
Although I am also an educator, the family education concepts and methods revealed in this book still provide great inspiration. I believe it will be beneficial to every parent. — Ms. Bai Mengping, a famous outstanding early childhood educator
This is a magical book, not only because it showcases unique educational concepts and methods across the ocean, but also because the author’s pen is filled with love and concern. — Mr. Maixin, a famous book planner and writer
This is a book dedicated to parents. Every parent loves their child and hopes for a happy and bright future for them, but often things don’t go as planned. Why is that? This book attempts to guide readers into the lives of American families, showing us how American parents educate their children, perhaps inspiring us to find the right methods.
The author, from the perspective of a Chinese mother, deeply studies all aspects of American family education out of love for her children. She has collected a large amount of firsthand material on the conflicts between two educational cultures encountered by Chinese Americans in the U.S. In the form of diaries, she reveals the details of American family education. I believe that regardless of educational background, urban or rural differences, or regional disparities, as long as you are a parent and love your children, you will find inspiration and gain something from this book.
However, the purpose of this book is not to provide a complete solution to family education for the Chinese, but to offer a mirror. Facing the completely different ethical and familial values of a foreign culture, the unique way of expressing love in the East, and this mirror across the ocean, perhaps we will see ourselves more clearly and profoundly, and gain more self-awareness and lessons to learn.
