Features: Although American-style family education differs greatly from ours, the love for children is the same. I believe that as long as you genuinely care for your children, this book will surely be helpful to you. — Professor Fan Xianzuo, Ph.D. Supervisor at the School of Education, Central China Normal University
Parents, especially young parents in contemporary China, should really read this book. They are too indulgent towards their children, and 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 children 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, with the perspective of a Chinese mother, driven by love for her children, has conducted an in-depth study of all aspects of American family education. Especially, she has collected a large amount of first-hand material on the two educational culture conflicts encountered by Chinese Americans, revealing the details of American family education in the form of diaries. I believe that regardless of educational background, urban-rural differences, or regional disparities, as long as you are a parent and love your children, you will be inspired and gain something from it.
However, the purpose of this book is not to provide a complete family education solution for the Chinese, but to offer a mirror. Facing the completely different ethical and familial values of a foreign culture, the entirely different ways of expressing love compared to our Eastern nation, and this mirror across the ocean, perhaps we will see ourselves more clearly and profoundly, and gain more awareness and lessons.
