Summary

The writer shows in the beginning that he stopped using the Mozart video, and the hope of made a smart kid is off. Furthermore he started with the new style called pushy parents to make his kids smart. This style is strong ,but not like tiger mum .it have some rules, like limited time of TV ,and stop given them everything they want. Also try to give the kids games that improve their brain like chess , but after decade the TV is opened all the time , the kids have every toy they want . the system is down ,the baby Mozart the writer enjoy it ,but it result was not what the writer expect for his kids .however the writer said that we cannot made our kids smart easily ,but the method that must be done are hard to do .the writer and his wife both work ,so if they do the feeding part will be good .the writer also afraid of any moment of regret that come to his kids when they grows up ,and be sad about being not smart. But the writer said it is good for the kids to live their childhood ,and have kids who they enjoy each other .one last thing he love Mozart music even at 5 AM.

Reaction

Will I think the article was too hard to read, but the writer was so funny. I think putting away the baby Mozart is a great call, because it not 100% working or proved. The new style is great that they called pushy parents, because it is not so hard on the kids like tiger mum, but less hard on them. The rules in this style were good, limited time for TV, less toys for them ,also try to give them some games that improve their brain. It was so funny that after little time the rules were removed, because it was too hard and I agree with him that it is hard for two parents who works to do this tasks .the writer said they stick with baby Mozart for some time ,I think if they did it well the result will not be that bad like what he said .so the thing they do for the kids is not enough ,so eating and the other basic thing is a list of the thing they must do. I am not saying that the must do much better ,but little more .i think the love that you give and show for the kids will be enough for them to smart ,so I will tell the writer to stop thinking about what the kids will say when the grows or think.in the end the enjoy it very much and I agree with the writer that the Mozart music are great any time and any where.
