“In traditional Chinese culture the common conception of parenthood is that the father is strict and the mother is kind. But on the show we see fathers who are much gentler on their kids and more concerned with their upbringing ” said Li Minyi an associate professor of early childhood education at the leading Beijing Normal University. “An important question arises in this show for modern Chinese society — what is the role of fathers in today’s China?”
“As they raise their children parents are growing up at the same time ” said Wang Renping a popular education expert in an interview with the Qianjiang Evening News. “They cannot use parenting styles from 20 years ago to guide the development of children born 20 years later.”
