2011: Stories That Changed the Way We Parent Now By KJ DELL’ANTONIA NYTIMES

KJ dell'antonia references Amy Chua's, "The Battle Hymn of The Tiger Mother" in her article in order to enhance her main point and thesis.
KJ's title of the article says all: "Stories that Changed the Way We Parent Now."
KJ basically describes how cases like Amy Chua, is a great example of how NOT to be a parent.  KJ criticized, and pointed out the flaws in Chua's parenting techniques as she quoted indesirable quotes throughout her book.
Throughout her entire article, KJ also uses many different references of controversial books, articles, quotes, and events that has created a shock in the American parenting world.
This article obviously has one purpose: To inform the readers that observing the ways others respond to things could very well be our answer on how we "shouldn't" respond to things.
KJ states in her article,
 "The important articles made us confront the way we do things, the way we think about things and sometimes even who we are, with our families and everywhere else. Here, in no particular order, are the five subjects from 2011 that I’m still thinking about (and may still be thinking about when we revisit this topic 12 months from now)"
The journalist did a great job of researching many different materials that related around the area of Child Psychology, Meaning: The benefit of the kids.
I felt like she was asking the readers, "How could we as a whole, improve on the ways we raise our own children?"
The best answer to that is I feel through the article: By Watching/Learning from Mistakes or other peoples' mistakes.
This article thoroughly explained how the year of 2011 has much to learn after the unwise incidences revolving around our responsibility and nurtured love for our children.
