"As one of my Korean-American friends wrote to me in an email: "The constant conflict between what feels like unconditional support (why else would a parent invest so much energy and focus so entirely on a child?) and entirely conditional love (if you don't perform, I won't really love you) can be soul-destroying." Let's not lose sight of these consequences just because we're blinded by Chua's shiny, beautiful, ridiculously successful and seemingly well-adjusted kids. One family case study does not a larger cultural point make."
