À propos de cet audio

At once provocative and laugh-out-loud funny, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother ignited a global parenting debate with its story of one mother’s journey in strict parenting.

Amy Chua argues that Western parenting tries to respect and nurture children’s individuality, while Chinese parents typically believe that arming children with skills, strong work habits, and inner confidence prepares them best for the future.

Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother chronicles Chua’s iron-willed decision to raise her daughters, Sophia and Lulu, the Chinese way - and the remarkable, sometimes heartbreaking results her choice inspires.

Achingly honest and profoundly challenging, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is one of the most talked-about books of our times.

yeah it's a fun book. nothing extraordinarily informative. it sits on the complete end of the spectrum in a demonstrative manner so Chinese parenting seems obsurdly efficient yet emotionally taxing. neat read though. SOURCE: Teacher

I found this book very informative, but perhaps in ways I didn’t expect. Being raised in a western style of parenting, I was often allowed off easy when it came to my education. When it came to the courses we would select in school, I would often hear my mother say to my step-father ‘let them decide’ or ‘allow them to follow their hearts’. I was never encouraged to take up an instrument, nor ever be pushed to excel at school….by my mother. She was more of the nurturing type. My step father however, was an immigrant from England who valued education and hard work. But because I was a kid, I often took the path of least resistance. With that being said, without him I would have never understood the true value of hard work, focus and determination.
When I graduated high school, I had no direction, and my mother and step father split up. It was a messy divorce that divided an already split family. It was in my young adult years I regretted not taking the time to learn skills for the future.
I met my (Canadian born Chinese) wife shortly before she started university to pursue a degree in Human Resources. Watching her work ethic really was the first time I truly could see the difference between Chinese parents and western ones. I was in awe.
Her younger brother began university and moved into a dorm on campus. It wasn’t but a semester in when he leaped from a 6 storey building to his death. My wife was devastated..but her parents forbid her from showing any emotions. It wasn’t until the cremation that I witnessed any pure, unadulterated emotion from any of them.
My wife never got along with her parents, ever from what I could see. She would describe her mother and father as controlling, who didn’t understand she had western influences that would conflict with their own. She desperately wanted away…far away.
Now we have two beautiful daughters, Jules and Sophia, and I often find myself worried about her style of parenting. I find her sometimes to be overbearing and have high expectations of our daughters. I desperately wanted to understand my wife and her style of parenting.
After reading the book, I feel I understand my wife AND my children much more. I know ultimately her passion for their success is driven by her desires of wanting the best for them.
Thank you, Amy Chua for such an amazing piece of work.

I am a first-generation Portuguese Canadian and I really related to this book. As a new mom and a daughter to a toned down Tiger Mother it really made me value, appreciate, and criticize how I was parented and what I can take and leave from this type of parenting. I couldn't get enough of this book. I really want Amy to write a part 2 bc I will forever wonder what happened up until the kids left the home and how they feel now. I feel like people who wrote bad reviews were likely to be caucasian or North American parents to which of course they probably couldn't relate at all to this book and the parenting practises that Amy talked about were probably appalling to them. However, I get it.

Love this book and you will too especially if you're the daughter of immigrants.

This book is about a very rude narcissistic racist telling you how to raise kids according to negative reinforcement training and I guess the point of the book is the show how success The Chinese way of parenting is but it really just made their kids hate The activity she poured hours into essentially wasting all the practice instead of learning something practical she also doesn’t understand the value of learning social skills through interacting with your peers, Definitely an interesting view into the entitled mind of the Chinese parent even though they are American .

It’s interesting but it will make you mad.
