Children of parents classified as “tiger” have worse grades, are more depressed
I was under the impression that Amy Chua (the woman who wrote "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother") gave up the "tiger mom" strategy after one of her children had a breakdown:<p>"What brings the situation to an end is two horrifying incidents. First, Lulu hacks off her hair with a pair of scissors; then, on a family holiday to Moscow, she and Chua get into a public argument that culminates in Lulu smashing a glass in a cafe, screaming, "I'm not what you want – I'm not Chinese! I don't want to be Chinese. Why can't you get that through your head? I hate the violin. I hate my life. I hate you, and I hate this family!" Her relationship with Lulu in crisis, Chua, finally, thankfully, raises the white flag."<p><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2011/jan/15/amy-chua-tiger-mother-interview" rel="nofollow">http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2011/jan/15/amy-chua-...</a>
