Week 14:Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother

  I read a book named Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother for preparing a report this week. It has been a very controversial book since it was released because of the strict method the author used to educate her two daughters. The author Amy Chua is a Chinese-American woman who is now the professor at Yale Law School and the mother of the two teenage daughters.
  In the book, Chua talked about her strict policies in educating her kids, like never attend a sleepover, never be in a school play, never get any grade less than an A, etc. Before reading the book, I thought Chua might be a critical and horrible mother who uses the wrong ways to treat her daughters which could deprive  them of the happiness of the childhood.
  However, after reading the book, I discover that Chua is a mother who loves her daughters so much and try her best to educate her daughters to become independence and self-confidence. Even though I do not agree that she names her parenting method "Chinese parenting," I can not deny that she dedicate most her time and effort to educate and accompany her daughters and both of her two daughters are very talented and outstanding.
