[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A tiger mom is one who pressures her child to get good grades above everything else. She pressures the child to live her dream and her idea of success regardless of the child's happiness and dreams.  A tiger moms ego is wrapped up in the child's grades and awards, while the child's ego suffers under the pressure of ignoring his own desires and dreams. The child imagination and true personality is blunted during childhood and they grow into adults who never find their happiness in life because they grew disconnected from it in childhood.  A child of a tiger mom suffers from emotional poverty.  A tiger mom and stage mom are in the same genre and are negative terms.[/quote]

I don't think just pushing your kid to do well qualifies as "Tiger Mom" material. The distinctive features are 1) living through your kids's accomplishments instead of your own, and 2) willingness to sacrifice your kids' health -- mental, physical, both -- to satisfy that drive to live through their accomplishments.

Anything else is just range of normal. [/quote]
