Don't be a Pusi combines humor, singsong poetic rhyme, and strict values that give voice to some traditional methods of parenting that have been lost. It's nice to be friends with your child, but it's more important to be a responsible model and inspiration, showing kids how to be strong adults when they grow up. Parents want to be cool, but more importantly, they should teach children to be respectful instead of rude. From the cradle to college, kids have the chance to learn from their elders, and learn they must to be successful in the world. Good life habits are formed at an early age, so parents should teach kids right from the moment they re born, and children should pay attention to the lessons being taught. Someday, children will become parents and have kids of their own. By enforcing strict values, both parents and children alike can work together toward a happy family and a happy life.
