Different in some ways. Filipino mothers tend to be more concerned with the child's emotinal life, while Filipino fathers are assertive about the child's achievement and independence. Filipino parents influences the religious development and the first teacher of faith to a child. With this sharing of faith, comes the sharing of joys, beliefs and values.
What is more pronounced to all parents whether of different nationality is when a child grows up in a home where there is no love between the father and the mother., where there is wrangling, bitterness and even hatred. A child cannot even believe that there is a thing called LOVE.

Inday, truer words were never spoken.
As a growing child I never knew these truisms, nor would I have cared had I known, but I was fortunate enough to have been blessed by such wonderful and extraordinary parents. (Parents are such a treasure, aren't they.) Now as a parent myself I have come to realize how challenging and difficult the role of parents can be, which made me appreciate even more what my parents had to endure when they were raising me. And although there are no instruction manuals nor easy buttons for parenthood, we are guided by the simple fact that we were children once, and therefore we can see from multiple angles.
I am lucky that my kids have given me less grief than I have given my parents, so I am still ahead in the game. But I can't quit now - parenting is the only job we can't retire from.

This is a nice parental tips. I think this is not applicable to all of the Filipinos because there are a lot of parents who sends there children not to school but to work. Why always motherhood is there no parental tips for the father? But if you don't have our parents... then this is unnecessary but I think you should search for more parental tips open to all to the members of the family.

Yes, they are and not only Pinoys, but also for other parents worldwide. Mothers not only undergo labor pains but what about c/s; more painful after the anesthesia's gone. Shouting and yelling; part and parcel of discipline for Pinoys. And yes, better enjoy your children while they are still young and dependent on you for almost anything. And yes, yes, yes to the rest of your comments.

Most of them are nice guides to rear/hone children. The hardest part, based on my experience, was the adolescent stage of the kids. They are confused and the parents are confused also because they cannot accept that they've grown so fast.
If you're having a hard time taming them at this stage, just say this to them, "Hinde bale, balang araw mag kaka-anak kayo at tiyak, mas makulit pa sa inyo at mas masakit sa ulo!!!!!" Bwahahahahaha. (Never mind, in the future, you will have your own kids and definitely, it will more hard headed than you are and it will cause more headaches for you!!!)

In parenting, it is important to: (1) be clear about one's long-term goals for his/her children; (2) keep a balance between providing warmth (i.e., making your child feel loved and cared for) and structure (i.e., teaching your child to follow rules, setting guidelines.); (3) have an understanding of how a child thinks and feels at every stage in life; and (4) be able to apply the first three points in dealing with the issues/problems/situations that parents and their children face everyday.

I like the way these tips were structured. They become interesting reads, and therefore have the better probability of being remembered, and put to practice.

Maybe. Because the way of rearing kids also depends on their inherited genes.
