He is making the argument that in current times, it is no longer enough to raise a kid that is according to the old standards. It is now important to raise a kid that fits a global level. I can only partially agree with his statement. This is due to the fact that nowadays, everything is getting globalised, everything is becoming international. It is common to be sent to foreign countries to work nowadays. By not allowing the children to be able to adapt in foreign countries, understand their cultures, allowing them to prepare for the future. Also, if a person were to look for a job, and if he has experience abroad for a long time, he would stand a better chance. Also, being able to adapt, would show that, the person is stronger, and is probably a independent person, who can take care of themselves. Also, by being more "global" it adds to the diversity of the person. Also, this allows the person to not only be educated in the normal academics, and sports and other activities, but this allows the person to have experience of how other people from other countries work. Thus not constraining the person to only a certain country. But, must the child get educated when they are still young? Can they take this training to be come more "global" when they grow up. Yes it is possible, but it would take some time to train this, but if the person is grown up, the parents would probably be less worried. I think the deciding factor is the choice of the child and parent when to take this experience.
