Answers to your questions about Chinese families, parenting and relationships...by a Chinese Mother!
A Chinese mother, Chinese family relationships and Chinese parenting can present some of the toughest challenges for those of us outside China. Whether you have a problem or just want to understand a Chinese mother's point of view...
Here's your chance. Christina is a Chinese mom who draws from her depth of experience in Chinese parenting to give you the explanations you need.
She has two beautiful children of her own, and speaking with Christina is like speaking with a Chinese expert in newborns and children.
Although Christina has a full command of the English language, she is from China and has always lived in China, even now. Her perspective and insights are purely Chinese.
No question is too basic, too sensitive or too taboo:
- Perhaps you're curious about the “Chinese Tiger mother” mentality? Are Chinese mothers really like that? Or is it just the way the media portrays them?
- Are you thinking of starting a family with a Chinese person and have questions about what you're getting into?
- Maybe you're curious about Chinese family relationships and you're too embarrassed to ask someone you know?
- Do you disagree with your Chinese spouse on how to raise your child? Christina can offer a second opinion...
- Maybe you noticed something unusual about a Chinese family and you want to understand them?
- Heaven forbid, you're trying to understand your own Chinese mother-in-law?
- Or maybe you're simply curious about what it's like to be a mother in China?
