Tiger Parenting

Tiger Parenting

In my opinion I think that tiger parents are not a good example of parenting. I believe that parents that are half easy/half strict are the best parents just because basically they allow you to do what you want while still getting good grades. You don’t need to study 24/7, you can go socialize with friends, watch your favorite TV shows, and still be able to get great grades. What I do not get is that people who have social lives, and do everything they want, can still get close to the same grades as children with tiger parents. It’s not like you’re going to get a medal for being #1 in your class. Getting an 85% average is great to parents that are half easy/ strict, and they still get accepted to the same universities as children who have tiger parents. Of course lac of freedom will make a student more hard working because it doesn’t allow you to do anything you want buy studying, but what does that do for you socially for the future. I mean, what you can do with your life without being sociable. I think tiger parents do one good job and that’s making their children strive for better marks when they do not do well. Getting 85s is good enough for normal parents, so I don’t know why tiger parents take it to the next level when it’s not needed. I don’t think tiger parents believe helping their kids achieve something will give them confidence because to be honest, I don’t think the kids that have tiger parents want to be treated like they are being. I mean you can only play 2 instruments? You should have the freedom to play whatever you want, because in the end there are even harder instruments to play than the violin and the piano. In conclusion, I think tiger parents are not doing the right thing to their children, and they should not exist.
