An awe-inspiring, often hilarious, and unerringly honest story of one mother's exercise in extreme parenting, revealing the rewards-and the costs-of raising her children the Chinese way.
All decent parents want to do what's best for their children. What Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother reveals is that the Chinese just have a totally different idea of how to do that. Western parents try to respect their children's individuality, encouraging them to pursue their true passions and providing a nurturing environment. The Chinese believe that the best way to protect your children is by preparing them for the future and arming them with skills, strong work habits, and inner confidence. Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother chronicles Chua's iron-willed decision to raise her daughters, Sophia and Lulu, her way-the Chinese way-and the remarkable results her choice inspires.
Here are some things Amy Chua would never allow her daughters to do:
have a playdate
be in a school play
complain about not being in a school play
not be the #1 student in every subject except gym and drama
play any instrument other than the piano or violin
not play the piano or violin
The truth is Lulu and Sophia would never have had time for a playdate. They were too busy practicing their instruments (two to three hours a day and double sessions on the weekend) and perfecting their Mandarin.
Of course no one is perfect, including Chua herself. Witness this scene:
"According to Sophia, here are three things I actually said to her at the piano as I supervised her practicing:
1. Oh my God, you're just getting worse and worse.
2. I'm going to count to three, then I want musicality.
3. If the next time's not PERFECT, I'm going to take all your stuffed animals and burn them!"
But Chua demands as much of herself as she does of her daughters. And in her sacrifices-the exacting attention spent studying her daughters' performances, the office hours lost shuttling the girls to lessons-the depth of her love for her children becomes clear. Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is an eye-opening exploration of the differences in Eastern and Western parenting- and the lessons parents and children everywhere teach one another.

美国图书馆里借的kindle版，比较认同里面的教育理念，管比不管付出的要多，小孩子没有太大自制力，大人的监督是让孩子更好地在一个方面付出努力，并在获得成果后以内在的动力坚持下去，并获得自信。以后也会在其他领域自律和努力。回顾我的成长过程，母亲耐心的陪伴和监督让我在一些事情上坚持了下去，让我之后做事都有了自信和动力。我很感激她。

做高压氧舱不能带手机，于是我花了13次氧舱，在增压、减压的等候时间里看完了这本书😂。这本书还是很让我意外的，虎妈的很多想法，其实很适合回击当今网络上流行的所谓“对东亚父母的批判”。我去搜了一下虎妈两个女儿的近况，出落得都很优秀。

书中宣扬的是一种一刀切式教育理念，既不管孩子的能力和个性，亦漠视孩子的意愿和情绪反应，一切皆以家长坚持的教育目标为依归。这无疑有违西方社会崇尚个性自由发展的教育观念，可是，不论在华人社会或欧美社会，像《虎妈的战歌》这种育儿论调一直都有广大的支持者。一方面，它满足了传统华人“望子成龙”的思维，蔡美儿本人就是成功人士，而在书出版后，她的两名女儿也成功入读美国著名大学，俨如“证实”了虎妈育儿之法无比正确... 书中宣扬的是一种一刀切式教育理念，既不管孩子的能力和个性，亦漠视孩子的意愿和情绪反应，一切皆以家长坚持的教育目标为依归。这无疑有违西方社会崇尚个性自由发展的教育观念，可是，不论在华人社会或欧美社会，像《虎妈的战歌》这种育儿论调一直都有广大的支持者。一方面，它满足了传统华人“望子成龙”的思维，蔡美儿本人就是成功人士，而在书出版后，她的两名女儿也成功入读美国著名大学，俨如“证实”了虎妈育儿之法无比正确；另一方面，欧美不少家长抱著东方主义式的眼光， 对这种所谓东亚教学模式充满好奇，原因是在他们的认知里，东亚学生的学术表现向来优于欧美学生。他们很想知道，东亚家长到底有什么“秘密”呢？ (展开)
