Parental guilt tripping is an excellent means of producing the desired end, yes.

How long would it take to undo what was bred into someone? 🤔

1 generation of a new culture?

There's plenty of lazy third+ generation Asian-Americans. The quality of parental upbringing is vitally important to success in life.

Note: I'm a 5th generation American. The cultural pressure can survive a very long time. I intend to similarly punish my kids, for their own sake.

There's about 30 generations of breeding for a specific outcome, so it's hard to see it going away in a single generation. Maybe 5 to 10? Depends on cultural context and what's prioritized instead.

I meant to write "encourage".

my kid is mostly asian and boy does he get his homework done quick but only after mentioning no video game privileges until hwk complete.
