Few parenting articles in recent memory have prompted such an overwhelming response from the general public as Amy Chua’s “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior.”
An excerpt from her new book, “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother,” the essay first appeared in the Wall Street Journal on Saturday, January 8.
People are talking about this book – and with good reason.
Chua, a Yale law professor, offers up a style of parenting most Americans are not familiar with, and it is certainly not Dr. Spock.
Even if you wouldn’t do childrearing exactly as she did, Chua makes a compelling case that the pendulum in America has swung too far toward lazy indulgence and low expectations.
