Good Parenting? 2.0

A father's harsh parenting has aroused wide controversy after a video was circulated online showing his nearly-nude four-year-old son running in snow.

The boy, Duo Duo, was running with only a pair of pants and trainers to combat the morning temperature of minus 13 degrees Celsius in New York, where the family from the eastern Chinese city of Nanjing spent their Spring Festival holiday.

The 44-year-old entrepreneur trained his son to run in the freezing weather for five minutes and do push-ups despite the boy's trembling and cries for a hug.

He uploaded the training footage online and dubbed it the "eagle dad" parenting approach, the Yangtze Evening News reported yesterday.

Young eagles learn to fly when their mothers expel and drop them from their nests on cliffs. They learn to survive through cruel tests, and the fierce parenting method is also suitable for kids, the father surnamed He said.

His unusual parenting philosophy has ignited discussion on the Internet, with some agreeing on the eagle way while others worried about the health of the little boy.

"You are torturing your child." "Why didn't you run with your son naked too? You are crazy!" "The child can't be spoiled but needs to be loved!" were some of the comments.

It was not the first time Duo Duo went through such militaristic training. To improve his health, He worked out a scheme to train his weak son, a premature baby with a series of complications.

He has arranged eight-hour daily excises for Duo Duo, including swimming, mountain climbing, bicycle riding and martial arts. He told the newspaper these schemes started after his son once went hiking with him for 14 days, with a daily walking distance more than 10 kilometers.

"Duo Duo stayed in the hospital for two months after he was born. But since then, he was in perfect health and never sent to hospitals," the proud father said.

Besides, his strict family education created a miracle, with the boy's IQ reaching a genius-level 218, enabling him to advance to primary school, the father claimed.

that's not really a part of Chinese culture but have fun with your fallacious proposition

Considering I had no major or minor premise, nor a conclusion, I don't see how anything is fallacious. Too, I wasn't proposing anything; rather, it was simply an observance of Americans' distorted view of Asian culture, as connoted by the parenthesis.

This site desperately needs a sarcasm font.

Cheers.

      He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
