Amy Chua: the Tiger Mom. (My Opinion)
How do i
In my opinion, Amy Chua’s method’s are questioned simply because they are too strict. The Chinese way of raising their children is done in a disciplined, no tolerance way, which might intimidate parents from the west. Parents from The U.S. or anywhere else in the west, may say that Amy Chua’s strategies are too harsh, and that a child should be entitled to their own opinions, and views about his or hers way of life. A child should be able to do what he or she wants to do, and not what their mother tells them to. Some parents from the west say that she’s forcing the kids into doing what they don’t want to do. They mean that a parent should not be a teacher or a sergeant, but more of a guidance trough life, a column for support.
Amy Chua has said to The N.Y. Post as well as many other newspapers that she limited down her kids playtime to very little. She didn’t allow the to attend sleepovers, anything less than an A was unaccepted, no TV or video games and the list goes on and on. This is maybe on of the main reasons western parents react to Amy Chua’s ways. They mean that a child is a child, and all children should have playtime. To spend time with other kids at a young age is relevant for having friends, or at least for learning some social skills. Having fun as a kid is important, because it isn’t that much time for play when you’re an adult.
The Western world could learn a lot from Amy Chua, or Eastern parenting in general. Western Parents need to be harder and much more strict on their kids. Countless times I have witnessed a kid saying no their parents without consequences. Discipline is one of the key elements of good parenting. A disciplined child is more likely to succeed, and more likely to become respected among others. Another thing western parents could learn from Amy Chua is regulating or denying video games and television. If a kid plays a video game for several hours then it’s really hard for the kids to focus on schoolwork later on,
