Editing Tiger parenting (section)

===Discipline===
Compared to hands-off or permissive parenting techniques, the hands-on approach from Tiger parents require higher psychological and behavioral control over their children. Psychological control comes in many forms but is rooted when parents work to ensure that their children are courteous and obedient. Meanwhile, behavioral control is focused on setting limits on children's activities, often referring to academics and limiting behavioral problems.

In Chua's memoir, ''Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother'', she mentions an incident that she yelled at her daughters, calling them 'garbage' in public. It has been shown that tiger parents are less likely than other parents to compliment their children in public as well. Children raised by tiger parents may be met with emotional threats and physical punishments if they failed to practice their piano scales and meet their expectations. Moreover, some tiger parents do not allow their children to make some decisions on their own, whether in academia or daily life. For instance, Chua's daughters were not allowed to watch TV at night or have sleepovers with their schoolmates.
