Lessons I'm Going To Teach My Kids Too Late

What if you could live your life over, making all the right decisions

and avoiding all the mistakes? You can, vicariously through your

children, but is that a good idea?
101 standalone stories about parenting or being parented - from

bullying to discipline, grandmothers to ice cream, old friends to first

love - each culminate in a lesson that messed the author up, so he's

not going to teach them to his kids until it's too late.
Brad Yung mines his past and speculates on his children's futures,

alternately reaching out and lashing out. Added all together, several

storylines emerge: an embattled mother-son relationship, the early

death of his father, a crumbling marriage, a fractured take on his

Chinese heritage, and his love for his kids.
Understatedly funny, wistfully longing while steeped in regret,

poignant if tragic, yet ultimately hopeful, uplifting, and insightful,

Lessons I'm Going To Teach My Kids Too Late almost succeeds in not

being a self-help parenting book, but not for lack of trying.
