Tiger Mother Concept Isn't Worth the Roar

A popular Chinese television series called Tiger Mom: My Sweat, Your Success has prompted no shortage of debate about raising children. Indeed, discussion has even extended to Chinese people living in America, where the concept of "tiger moms" made waves after the publication of a book by a hard-driving Chinese-American mother.

Many Chinese now share the view that middle-class families in America and Europe have actually started to raise their offspring in exactly the same way as China's tiger moms.
