Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is an interesting book. Its not what I was expecting from the reviews, certainly. And its definitely a story, not only about parenting, but expectations, and 'different strokes for different folks'. Its a great book, not only about where we've gone wrong with our children, but how a lot of people go wrong with their kids... Not only about the issues of "Western parenting" (which she tars with a broad brush), but also some of the issues in so-called Chinese parenting. Its about knowing your limits, your children's limits, but also standing up as a family and as a parent.....
And its about how an approach can succeed with one child, but be wrong with the other. At the same time, its a defense of being a demanding parent....
