In today’s fragile society harsh parenting can be considered borderline illegal depending on who you ask. I believe that the Chinese strike down with too much authority over their children. My parents were never that harsh with me and the idea of it scares me a bit. I do respect the “Tiger Mother” philosophy of parenting however. I think it is a great way to raise children to handle complicated situation, tasks, and whatever else life throws their way. Western culture has become a place where children are treated so fragilely that it has begun to have negative repercussions. How is a child supposed to grow when they do not understand what succeeding truly is? Part of the Asian style of parenting really stuck out to me in the pdf article.
