Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua

3.0

memoir of an American Chinese mother married to a Jewish man. She raises her daughters in the Chinese way--no playdates or sports, many hours of violin and piano. Daughters are excellent musicians but at what cost? Discusses the differences between Chinese and Western styles of parenting. Book received much criticism of her harsh childraising strategies, but I found her to be honest in her approach and not trying to hide why she preferred her style and why it didn’t work with her younger daughter.
