Hong Kong Dad vs. Tiger Mom

The publication of "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" by Amy Chua, a professor at Yale Law School, sparked widespread attention and debate. Chua shared her approach of strict discipline in raising her two daughters, resulting in their exceptional achievements as model students and gifted musicians. While Americans found this method perplexing, parents in places like Singapore and South Korea embraced it. In Hong Kong, parents were torn between desiring academic success for their children and questioning the effectiveness of high-pressure authoritarian parenting. The search for effective methods of child education continues.
