Child-rearing methods: Tiger Mother and A.S. Neill's philosophy

There are many different ways to raise your child. But one of the most know types of child rising are the “Chinese Tiger Mother” model. If you are out practicing this method on your own children, you could be accused from other parents that you are not giving your children enough freedom, but the “Tiger Mother” method also has its pros. The Tiger Mother method could in many cases mean that you a putting many requirements for your children for example; Not more than 1 hour TV, no video games, no sleepovers etc. And in many cases that is also some big requirements to set for your child but on the other hand if you listen to a child who has lived under this “Tiger Mother” circumstances she thanks her mother for making her a self-thinking and independent woman. So again if you look on this particular method of child rising there are both some pros and cons in the human being that comes out in the other end.

Another method is the more relaxed parenting method where the children almost gets a little too much freedom and they are free to do what they want. If you are more in too this kind of rising method you want your children to have a wide selection of different option for example; they can choose their own sport or they can watch as much TV as they like. In many ways this method is the counter part to the “Tiger Mother” method. For kids there is no such thing as a down side to this method, except that this method could result in some sloppy young people in the outcome.
