Retreat of the "Tiger Mom"


    The article that we read today presents an analysis of the situation regarding the conflict between those who support the concepts of Amy Chua and those that disagree with her ideas. Although the author of this article presents her view points in a very negative way during the beginning of the article, she notes the explanations that Amy Chua makes about her way of educating her kids. Even thought the original excerpt from Amy’s book possesses a very confident tone, readers will understand that Amy faced many difficulties about raising her children this way after reading this article. Amy Chua faced problems with her husband about personal freedom for their children and she faced rebellion from second daughter. A time moves on thought, Amy understands that she might have gone too far in interfering with the education of her children. This may be a good end for Amy’s family and I think the atmosphere in the family would be better then before.
