“Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior.” The Wall Street Journal. All parents should take the approach of “tiger mom” to a certain degree which won’t affect the child’s behavior.Ĭhua, Amy. Asian children on the other hand would never want to show their parents poor grades because of the reaction they get. We’ve all been through it as children who either receive good grades or bad.
What child would not want to make their parents proud of what they’ve done? An all “A’s” report card is one thing a child would never hide from their parents if they got it from their teacher or through mail. It also teaches their children to be hard workers and to never quit until you get to where you want to be. Most of our parents want one thing from their children and that is to succeed in academics, find a good job, and support the family. The reason for this is a little unclear, but it’s probably a combination of Confucian filial piety and the fact that the parents have sacrificed and done so much for their children.” I can personal relate to this quote because I feel that my parents have given me everything as a child to now which I should repay them by making them happy. Amy Chua says “ Chinese parents believe that their kids owe them everything. They had to endure hardship and communism in their homelands which created living conditions that were unbearable to stay. In the Asian culture, most of our parents come from other countries looking for a better life here in America. Stripping these freedoms from their children can lead to little to no social interaction with other children which makes them more distant from their friends.Ĭoming back to the stereotype of Asians being smart in school doesn’t come from “tiger mom” strategies that people believe. 1 student in every subject except gym and drama, play any instrument other than the piano or violin, not play the piano or violin.” These are the essentials that we all grew up with even if our parents were strict on us.

From the article, “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior” by Amy Chua, “Here are some things my daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were never allowed to do: attend a sleepover, have a playdate, be in a school play, complain about not being in a school play, watch TV or play computer games, choose their own extracurricular activities, get any grade less than an “A”, not be the No. Tiger Mom’s prevent their children from doing anything fun that majority of kids got to enjoy. If you are constantly told this over and over again, anger will build inside which would cause aggression in behavior that would affect other people.
When you were told “no, you can’t do that” as a child, you would be angry and confused on why you weren’t allowed. Being forced to do something you don’t want to do as a child will severely damage their ego. There are two sides from this teaching, those children affected negatively and children affected positively.įor those children who suffer negatively such as depression and aggression, I can see how they may encounter these effects that come from it. Most people need to understand that there’s good that come from this way of teaching besides being able to play an instrument or excelling in school. Because of how harsh some parents choose to approach this way of teaching, children often suffer from depression and aggression. A “tiger mom” is a parent, not necessarily a mother, who forces their children to excel in school and play an instrument such as the violin or piano. “Tiger mom” for example is one way that Asian parents choose to raise their children. While many of us Asian Americana have suffered from our strict parents, there’s no reason why there’s the stereotype of Asian people being smart.
