As I read and reread my post, I thought it was important to add that I have not read Amy Chua’s book “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother.” I’d also like to note that in one of the news stories I recently saw, she did say that one of her daughters rebelled against her techniques and she had to modify them.
All that being said, it is my firm belief that consistent parenting that is reflective of the specific needs of children and families, is most effective.
