[quote=Anonymous]I was so entertained by that book when it came out! As a fellow Tiger Parent, Americans need to understand that Amy Chua portrays herself as crazy, and knows it. It sells. I'm sure her reality was a little more complex. There are many Tiger Parents in the world, coming from different cultures. My Asian father was very fun and laid back, my White European mother very strict and demanding. I hold my kids to high academic and musical standards, for the love of learning, not to get them in a famous university. I don't call them garbage. I encourage friendships and socialization. Parent exactly the way you want, OP. You have a special connection to your kids and understand what makes them tick. You can throw all the parenting books out of the window, including that one, unless you're just reading them for the laughs :-)[/quote]
