I read this in an afternoon for a book club. Mostly I find her parenting style disturbing--she has no qualms with manipulating, name calling and insulting her children. Wanting your children to succeed is one thing, but if they have to be the best at everything, then everything in their life becomes a competition. Your a failure unless you are the best. I think that is a horrible way to go through life. That said, there are some things I agree with. Kids need to work hard to become good at something, and that means working when sometimes they don't want to. There is value in learning to work hard to be successful. I also hate the idea that "kids will be kids," and that you just can't stop them from experimenting. I think learning from others' mistakes is a vital tool, and I also think that if you have high expectations for your kids they will be much more likely to reach them.
