Tigers are dangerous and cruel animals. They are the bosses of the Asian jungles with their cleverness, quickness and s.A cat, on the o
hand, is a homebody that comforts us with its gentle warmth and calms us with its purring(猫叫声).
As a mother, there is no doubt that the Chinese-American writer Amy Chua is a tiger. Her book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother,tpeople about the strict raising she gave her two children. She thinks that being strict is the o
way to develop a child's potential(潜力)and to make them strong, independent and successful. Her kids were not allowed to watch TV or play video games. They were not allowed to "hang out" with other kids after school. They had to be the top students in their classes. And they had to practise playing the piano and violin for hours every day. As a r
, her kids became successful.
Chua says, Iher, most Asian mothers are tigers because they believe their children can achieve a lot if they're pushed hard enough. She says American mothers are really cats. They care m
about their children's self-esteem(自尊).They don't want to push their kids too hard for fear of hurting their feelings. American mothers e
their children to find their own path.
So, is a tiger mom better than a cat? Perhaps it depends on the differences bAsian and Western cultures. It may a
depend on the child himself. Some kids need to be pushed while others respond(反应)to a gentler hand. To growl or to purr? There is no easy answer.
