Love for Tiger Mother

In keeping with this month’s theme of love is it wrong to want our children to succeed and surpass what we have accomplished. Is this not what we all want for our children to be the best and to shine? The backlash of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother and author Amy Chua at this time is receiving. The book is the memoir of her experience of raising her two daughters and expecting nothing but perfection. Based own her childhood raised by strict Chinese parents.

“It’s a tough world out there.” Amy Chua told Meredith Vieira of the Today sow on Jan. 11^th 2011. She is absolutely right we have to prepare our children for the real world. It benefits children to know that life is extremely tough that to it takes hard work to succeed along with an education and skills. Yes Ms Chua might seem extremely tough but she is preparing her girls to enter a world of tough competition to climb to the top.

I expect the best from my children, education is very important, creative ideas and thinking out of the box is important in my household. Unlike Ms Chua I will accept B’s prefer A’s but anything lower is not excitable it’s ingrained in my oldest to aim for high grades. I start looking for tutors, she what the problem might be to rectify the grade. Growing education was a major part of my household good grades where required. A bit handicapped with the fact that my parents picked up the language through night classes and interaction at work. Depending on myself to study hard, complete my homework and projects with little help from my parents except math which my father is pretty. Not accept failure because I needed to make my parents proud.

My expectation for them is to put in the hard work to accomplish goals that they set for themselves. “It’s a tough world out there” I want my children to be extremely prepared to step out on their own college is right around the corner. My oldest is looking to move far away from home were she will have to take her education, socialization and while juggling her finances. Everything that I do for my children is out of love and the idea that I will not be able to be with them forever I would like for them to fulfill life dreams never having to think what ifs?
