I get honest about something I've had to reckon with in my own life: I was raised in the classic Asian parenting model where love was effectively conditional on achievement — you were only valued if you became a doctor, lawyer, or engineer, and anything less was framed as failure — and while I can now see that this was a form of emotional abuse, I also can't deny that the pressure drove me to accomplish things I might never have attempted in a more comfortable environment. Dr. Anna Marie Frank and I dig into the real tension here: does unconditional love and acceptance raise happy children, or comfortable ones without the grit to build anything real in a world that doesn't hand things out? The answer, like most things in medicine and life, is that it completely depends on the child.
