“Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom” certainly has received much press this week and criticism is surrounding the author and her book.

Whether you agree or not with “Chinese Parenting” in my opinion, it is always interesting to read about how other cultures view parenting and the parent-child relationship.

A book like this one should make you question some of the things that you do as a parent and perhaps give  you a deeper understanding of why you adhere to certain beliefs about how parenting should be done.

Criticism is good when it stimulates more questions and answers. It is an effort in futility when it merely stands alone.
