It's not really the "Chinese" way, but was more of a marketing schtick to frame AMY CHUA's way of raising kids as Chinese v. Western. If you read the book or find out more about the author, she was born and raised in the USA and her parents are actually from the Philippines. If you look at any well-educated, over-achieving, Ivy league-type families, you will probably see the same types of personalities.

She's crazy. Feel bad for her kids. Her husband is a pussy. I know vulgar but he just sits there and lets this bitch destroy his kids. If he was more resistant they would be too.

"Destroy" ? Be careful is not about destroying. Is about drawing pretty picture on 'blank paper'.

she isn't your avg chinese parent, she is on the extreme side..
saying this is how chinese raise their children is wrong. This is how SHE raise her children

She's just the extreme side of Asian parenting...I think most Asian parents would scold and yell at bad grades, but she literally starves her kids and forces them to take on a lot of stuff they absolutely do not want to do.

@andrewfyip in the end even her rebellious second daughter said that she appreciated that she was 'forced' into violin! what she was wrong was being too authoritative, which she realized afterwards. btw, she's not the extreme side...the extreme side wouldn't even be talking with the press and being intimate with her children. in China, this book is how Western freedoms can help children!

This is a very interesting cultural perspective. You learn by listening to what others do and what the rationale is for what they do and the decisions they make.

If you are interested in this topic, you might also enjoy watching the episode of our talk show "Thoughtful China" which addressed issues related to "tiger moms" inside China. Please look for the Thoughtful China - "Tiger Mom Consumers" episode on our channel. The episode was inspired by the debate ignited by Amy Chua's book.

If you want to be "individually successful", be individuals first, and then find success. But don't become "dependent" on institutions.
