Is Tiger Mothering Child Abuse?

There has been alot of media coverage of the new book by Chinese-American law professor Amy Chua, "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother."  Many of you probably read her piece in the Wall Street Journal last week, "Why Chinese Mothers are Superior"describing her parenting style and experiences.  It actually made me cry. And then wonder about the experiences of some of my kids' classmates...  Just how unusual is the "take no prisoners" parenting style she describes?

Here is one criticism of Amy Chua...
while there are many others all over the net, her book is 6th in sales at Amazon.  Let's hope people are reading it for what *not* to do.
