First off, I don't have kids, not even married. But I would like to have kids someday... maybe. But I also want to make sure they grow up right so I gather tips from various sources;
Something I learned from the Tiger Mom...
Make you kids do something they hate, all the time. Don't let them quit. Like a musical instrument or something else that with practice, they can get good at. If they start to really like it, give them something new as well. This will teach them determination and that avoiding or complaining will not get them anywhere. Many parents let their kids quit things they don't like many times before they even have a chance to get good at it. The few friends that I have that were forced to learn some musical instrument that they hated, they jump at the things that NEED to be done, no matter how much they don't want to. Everyone else (including myself to a degree) avoid the things that they don't want to do until the last minute or even worse, sweep it under the carpet and pray that it goes away.
Already talked to one friend with kids about it, he love that idea and will start doing that to his kids next week... I'm sorry kids, it's for your own good.
