UNIT TITLE:

What Makes A Perfect Parent?

A lot of "experts" claim they have an answer - and there is almost no subject that's more sensitive than whether someone is doing the right thing raising a child, so the argument can get pretty fierce.

​

This unit begins with the explosive - and successful - article by Amy Chua, a Yale law professor, titled "Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior."  You'll read the angry responses, the defenses, and then finally get some real research to help prove what - if anything - someone can do to prepare to be a decent parent.
