Emotional Intelligence quotes Dorenbusch's comment: "While most American parents are willing to accept a child's weak areas and emphasize the strengths, for Asians, the attitude is that if you're not doing well, the answer is to study later at night, and if you still don't do well, to get up and study earlier in the morning.
《E.Q.》一書說，美國父母的作法是接受孩子的弱點，強調他的優點。亞洲父母的看法不同，如果你成績不好，晚上應該多讀點書再睡覺，如果成績仍然沒有改善，早上應該早點起床再讀書。
