[quote=YEMMIE,283568]I think there is some truth in what you are saying, but I believe that most parents, east and west are not quite so extreme. Yes, Americans tend to be more permissive and do not see their childrens' faults as clearly, and yes, from my limited experience, Chinese parents seem to be more critical, but I think most parents on both sides of the ocean are also capable of seeing all sides of their children, good and bad. My parents were more strict than most American parents are today. Prior to WWII, most American parents were stricter, and more critical of their children. During the 1960s, this began to change. Today, most parents are much more permissive and far less critical than before. As for dating, yes, I would say that most American parents will allow their middle school age children to go out with their girlfriends and boyfriends in a limited way, and in high school, they allow their children much freedom.[/quote]
