A mix of US, Chinese education best for kids

Pinma means "mompetition" in English. Specifically, it means competition among mothers to give their children the best education and help them excel in different fields. The concept of "mompetition" has even traveled overseas and begun playing an important role in children's education in Western countries such as the United States.

Understanding the differences between Chinese and US family education will help the two sides see their respective advantages and use them to make comparisons more meaningful and healthy.

There is no denying that the influence of family education is the most profound on a child's development and could determine how its life will ultimately shape up. However, different from other types of investments, education is not something parents can harvest from as much as they expect. If parents have scant knowledge of the norms of education and are misguided by wrong educational ideas, the more efforts they make to get things right, the more harm they might cause to their children. Hence, a mother's investment in her child's growth could be fruitful only when used with the right strategy.
