Editing Tiger parenting (section)


[[File:TigerParenting.jpg|thumb|right|A cartoon depicting tiger parenting.]]'''Tiger parenting''' is a form of strict parenting, whereby parents are highly invested in ensuring their children's success. Specifically, tiger parents push their children to attain high levels of academic achievement or success in high-status extracurricular activities such as music or sports.

The term "tiger mother" ("tiger mom") was coined by Yale Law School professor Amy Chua in her 2011 memoir ''Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother''. A largely Chinese-American concept, the term draws parallels to strict parenting styles ostensibly common to households in East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, along with other developing regions of the world beyond Asia, including Latin America, Eastern Europe, and the Arab world. The tiger parent is a neo-stereotype of modern Chinese society, as well as in overseas Chinese communities around the world.

The stereotype is a Chinese mother who relentlessly drives her child to study hard, without regard for the child's social and emotional development.

The tiger parent is analogous to other [[Authoritarianism|authoritarian]] parenting stereotypes, such as the American stage mother, the Japanese ''kyōiku mama'', and the Jewish mother (stereotype). Other similar or related terms include helicopter parent, monster parents, and Hong Kong Kids phenomenon. Tiger parenting is considered by some to be a form of [[child abuse]].
