As a successful business, Xiao Baiyou is not famous because there are too many successful businessmen in China. However, his another identity makes him well-known to the whole nation, that is, one of the most successful fathers. He has four kids, one boy and three girls. His three older kids have been enrolled to Peking University, one of the most prestigious in China. The youngest girl also studies very well, aiming to enter Central Conservatory of Music in China. As you can see, his education methods are very successful. But some parents may not like his ways. He beats his kids with the feather dusters if they make any mistakes. On the other hand, he has very strict domestic discipline. Her kids were not allowed to watch TV if the didn’t finish their homework. Their kids had to write application if they want to visit their schoolmates. Thus, he is called the “Wof Dad”. Compared with the “Wolf Dad”, the “Sheep Dads” have different ways to teach their kids. Shi Jinhua and Zhu Shengquan are two successful dads because their kids have been recommended to study in Peking and Tinghua Universities. Unlike Xiao Baiyou, Shi Jinhua never beats his son to retain his prestige. “I don’t educate my son. Instead, I guides him and makes him feel happy during his growth.”, he said. Zhu Shengquan sets up an equal relationship with his daughter. They are more like friends. His daughter can even call his name at home and he never minds about this. He has been accompanying his little girl to go to school for many years. On their way to school, they chatted about everything. His daughter never feels any pressure from him, for example, earning good grades in exams. How do you educate your kids, being a wof dad or a sheep dad? If you are a kid, who do you like?

It's good to study in Peking or Tsing University. But is it only standard to decide whether a dad or kid is successful?

I don't think so. I won't force my kids to enter the prestigious university. It's their choice. I show him the way and let him decide. Don't force your kid to be the person you want him to be. Instead, let him choose who he will become.

Xiao Baiyou is a successful father according to Chinese standards. But I won't be a dad like him.

You know, we need plumbers as well as engineers.

Makes me wonder about all this fuss about education. Why can´t we teach our children to be happy, no matter the education, as long as they are able to live their life and take responsibility for their family. All we really need is love and caring. And of course respect.

A father who in any way mistreats his children only that he can say his children are well educated is not a father but a tyrant.

Haha, the wolf dad is definitely a tyrant. He thought that he had done what's good for their kids. But did he ask whether their kids wanted to live in this way?
