Tiger Parenting: FAIL
Kids of Tiger Moms Are Worse Off
"Su Yeong Kim, an associate professor of human development and family sciences at the University of Texas, had already been studying the effects of tiger parenting on hundreds of Chinese-American families for more than a decade."....
"'Compared with the supportive parenting profile, a tiger parenting profile was associated with lower GPA and educational attainment, as well as less of a sense of family obligation,' Kim explained in her report. 'It was also associated with more academic pressure, more depressive symptoms, and a greater sense of alienation.'
The bottom line? 'Tiger parenting doesn't produce superior outcomes in kids,' she concluded."
Now, the real secret to great accomplishments: FUN:
Legal World and Childhood Dreams: RICHARD FEYNMAN
"One day he [Richard Feynman] was in the Cafeteria when one of the students, who was fooling around, threw a plate into the air, spinning it like a Frisbee. It had red medallion of Cornell on it. The plate wobbled and spun. The medallion went round at a different rate from the wobble. Intrigued, Feynman went out to calculate the relationship between the wobble and the spin, which was 2:1. It came out of a complicated equation. When people asked him why he did it, he said,
'For fun. It has no importance.'"
So, "tiger parents" out there. If you want your children to do well, let them play, have fun, enjoy life. Then they might learn to play violin like this:
