Tiger Moms

Introduction

Most parents do not want their children spending, i.e., wasting, their time on any instrument for which a student cannot enter a contest and win prizes. Prizes mean medals and certificates, which Mommy and Daddy can display as their own achievements by extension. It is the major conservatories in China (Shanghai, Beijing, Shenyang, and Wuhan) which are responsible for continuing to nurture this false status, while, visually at least, giving the external impression that China is a major cultural locus of Western classical music.

In contrast, Western parents have to struggle with their own conflicting feelings about the success and try to persuade themselves that they are not disappointed with how they turned out to be their children.

"Mother Tiger" is written by American and a Chinese woman tells how she was raising her daughters. For you to live on another planet, Chinese have a reputation (especially in united state) to be extremely strict, absolute priority of the work all the time and work with punishments. In the world of the circus or music is not unusual to find Chinese children do spectacular things, thanks to the thousands of hours than their parents force them to practice. The book has generated a stir huge. Amy argues that children must be educated on the strict discipline: children should not watch TV or stay overnight at the house of peers, nor play on the computer.
