We shouldn’t coddle, spoil and shelter and particularly not because we are worried about their confidence.ģ) It is perfectly okay to make kids do some things they don’t want to do. Kids learn to work hard at a young age and if we don’t teach it, they’ll have a hard time picking it up later.Ģ) Western parents underestimate a child’s ability to work hard and still turn out okay. They are hard-working and focused and raise children that way. Though somewhat exaggerated, there are some great points and thoughts I took from the book.ġ) Chinese people are not outrageously successful in sports, business and technology by coincidence. If you are a laid-back-fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants type then you’ll probably hate this book and become outraged that the children weren’t given a chance to “be children.” Unless you consider hours of music practice a day (for both mother and child) including weekends and vacations a good method. If you are like me (let’s hope you aren’t) and slightly neurotic about your child’s education, preparation and development, then this book is highly entertaining. Want some cliff’s notes of the Battle Hymn Of The Tiger Mom? This summary will give you an idea if it’s a book you’d like to read. ☀️ Create summer rhythms that help you balance fun AND real life responsibilities, so you can make memories with your kids!
