Why would “Chinese tiger mom” parenting be better than a “normal” parenting here in western? Would it be good to take decisions for your own child? How to decide what’s wrong and what’s right for your child? Is tough parenting the key to happiness or success?
The “tiger mom” parenting is based on creating a successful child. A successful person in China isn’t just a happy and maybe not at all happy person. To be successful means that you’ve done extremely well in school - Got a wealthy paid job - Start family. There are too many things that a child can screw up, so “tiger mom” knows better, and would instead of fun and the child desires, take decisions for the child. The most people in the world want to have their kids successful when growing up. Obviously are there other ways to be successful, than the way in China with Chau.
In USA, it has been more and more usual to recognize the child’s feelings, to understand what they say, feel and dream. It is pretty normal to let the young ones go their own way, with support from family.The culture in the United States is built on everyday- traditional values such as equality of opportunity individual freedom and hard work. This way of thinking says so much. If you want the goal, you have to achieve it! You can’t wait until you are the next person in the line.As the Chinese and the US culture, dedication and hard work are very important keys, to open the gate for success. But there is a big difference between these parts. It is the individual freedom, where China would disagree with USA. Amy Chua, “Tiger Mom” was publishing her book about Chinese tough parenting. Her children were not allowed to attend at sleepovers, play computer or games, or getting under an A in Grades. The children’s dreams and desires don’t exit, it is what their parents think they should do, and they do. Many Americans who read or heard about the Chinese parenting book where shocked how tough she raised her children. It is normally when parenting in USA to wrap things up a bit. Also most of the American parents assume that if their kids are pushed too hard or facing problems too directly, they would be permanently damaged. These to different worlds are so long in distances.
