What do you think of tiger parents?

By 苏晓俐 老师 2020-11-24 1601次浏览

Read the following quotes by Amy Chua, the author of the book “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” and discuss the questions.

“The fact is that Chinese parents can do things that would seem unimaginable to Westerners. Chinese mothers can say to their daughters, "Hey fatty, lose some weight." By contrast, Western parents have to tiptoe around the issue, talking in terms of "health" and never ever mentioning the f-word, and their kids still end up in therapy for eating disorders and negative self-image.”

 

“Western parents try to respect their children’s individuality, encouraging them to pursue their true passions, supporting their choices, and providing positive reinforcement and a nurturing environment. By contrast, the Chinese believe that the best way to protect their children is by preparing them for the future, letting them see what they’re capable of, and arming them with skills, work habits, and inner confidence that no one can ever take away.”

 

Questions:

1. Do you agree with Amy Chua’s quotes? Why or why not?

2. Were your parents Tiger parents? Can you remember any specific punishment techniques they used?

3. What was the worst thing you did when you were a child? How were you punished?
