[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tend to think of the world as a spectrum or continuum on most things, but tiger parenting is not one of them. Isn't the whole idea behind tiger parenting that you don't moderate or compromise on anything? It's like pregnancy, either you are or aren't. Sure, you can try to incorporate 80 percent of tiger parenting or try to pick and choose, but that's not really tiger parenting anymore IMO.[/quote] I guess it depends on your definition of tiger parenting. If you read the original book, it was actually a memoir, complete with admissions of mistakes, and an acknowledgement that she has a fiery temper by nature. The book, as I read it, was definitely not meant to be a how-to guide for harassing and alienating your kids until they become successful. I enjoyed the memoir, but I hate how it has come to represent a stereotype for most Asian mothers. [/quote]
