Any Tiger Moms Around?

The press has made much of a book written by a Chinese mother in which she explains the myth of how Chinese parents raise such successful children. We wondered if this was just another form of authoritarian parenting, a style that fell out of favor in the US after WW II.

Do you have any Tiger Moms who are parents in your Program?

IF so do you see any difference in the early years between these children and the others in your program? Are these parents receptive to child development information you share?

If you are over 60, do you see any difference between this parenting and that of your parents?

One final thought: How do you define "helecopter parenting" and how is it different from the "tiger mom?"
