Leila~ ...@Barb~ Thank you for your sweet comments.<br /><br />Leila~ Thank you for taking the time to comment on my blog. I think the coverage comes from the fact that we moms are always under scutiny, being questioned and told no this is right and that is right. We want what is best for our children and when someone like the Tiger Lady comes around and pretty much says "You are doing this parent thing all WRONG" well it strikes a nerve....a raw frayed one. Not to mention the examples of her methods slap us with disbelief. We sort of respond with a protective roar sort of like a....tiger.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01701170619308062747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8602739788203359839.post-89110760394638257962011-02-08T23:51:19.389-05:002011-02-08T23:51:19.389-05:00Well the trouble for Tiger Mom is, demanding perfe...Well the trouble for Tiger Mom is, demanding perfection is futile if not just plain crazy. What happens when her kids realize that failure, is not only inevitable, but a perpetual sequence in life? Will they be traumatized by bittersweet truth or will they be ready for it? I agree with you that everyone should be open-minded before they readily reject the argument, but I'm sorry I have the kids in mind when I say, "No Tiger mom. Just NO." I'm Asian, and I can see the source of her totalitarianism. A lot of my Asian friends have it a lot worse than I do. But after having been exposed to that type of lifestyle from birth until the 18th year of my life (present day) I realized that materialistic or even the societal standard for success is far below what a child should strive for. It's good to aspire for success, but ruling your own 500 fortune company isn't everything. Neither is Straight As on a report card (this is a philosophy I gained after having watched the Bergman film, "Wild Strawberries").<br /><br />I'm sorry for the ramble. I enjoyed this post, but I actually kind of got suspicious afterwards. Tiger Mom is ubiquitous when it comes to the media nowadays, and I'm wondering why so much coverage.Leilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04490635107983302531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8602739788203359839.post-67421463975299467332011-02-08T23:10:05.755-05:002011-02-08T23:10:05.755-05:00Thank you for visiting my blog.
