[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read it in a long time, but wasn't the point of "Tiger Mom" that Amy Chua recognized that her approach harmed her relationship with her daughters, particularly her older daughter? I remember reading the book and being surprised that it was funny, because she clearly knew her behavior was extreme and made fun of herself for it - I did not get the impression that she was advocating it as a healthy parenting approach. As for the general concept, it is much better to let kids be who they are and do the things they are interested in. The idea that there are 10-14 good colleges in the country and that kids are supposed to spend their lives doing things they hate with the goal of getting in one of them is harmful and misguided.[/quote] dp The painful parts are when she refuses to let her mother, who had cancer see her granddaughters because it would take them away from playing the piano or studying.[/quote]
