Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua

I loved this book! I know it got a lot of heat and caused controversy, but I think its great. Ok, so it may be a little over the top in some places. But it was empowering to hear from a mom who thinks its ok not to coddle your kids and to push them to achieve their potential. Good to remember our current American parenting style of "everone is a winner, everyone gets a trophy" isn't the only way.
