Hmmm... I have read snippets of both of them. Honestly, we can all learn from each other. There's no perfect mothering. BUT, after considering them both I think the real people missing out in the Chinese philosophy is perhaps the mothers. Are they LOVING being a mom to those little adorable children? Are they savoring each moment, and while I can't really say I Do that -- I think that sometimes breaking down and being a bit more friendly than drill-seargent-y can lead to a lot of happy feelings for a mom as well...
