I am enjoying my children's formative years, as I believe my kids are, sports, friends, vacations, clubs and activities make great citizens not robots! And my older one may even be able to get into Harvard if she wanted to and I don't have to use such tactics. My 11th grade boyfriend went to Cornell, is a Physicist now, and he was in no way treated like this. Gasp—he played baseball!!! And he was so successful because he was able to do all he did without parental pressure.
I have known hundreds of “daughters of Amy Chua”, and I can’t say that I have noticed any significant demand for therapists among them.
Though perhaps in a therapy-culture like in the US it would be a different story. Perhaps people feel worse when they are encouraged to feel bad ?
