[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do the kids of Tiger moms have to have high IQs. So, can you be a Tiger mom to an average or below average kid? Does Tiger mom's IQ also matter?[/quote] The philosophy of the Tiger Mom is that IQ's don't matter, hard work does. In Asia there isn't an obsession over your kids' IQ or being classified as gifted. It is all about where you rank academically in your class. If you work hard enough you won't be below average.[/quote] Agree entirely. The US coddles their kids and tries to justify their actions based on "potential". Tiger Moms/Dads based their actions on actual results. Bright kids will excel; it's the "middle of the road" kids that benefit best from pushing, IMO. [b]But most kids simply aren't bright[/b]...and if they are, they aren't also motivated. Tiger Mom/Dad provides the "3rd party motivation". LOL[/quote] Statistically true. :) [/quote]
