The traditional Chinese way of supporting and pushing the child to realise his full potential. Tiger moms demand perfect grades because they believe that their children can get them. They also believe that they know what is best for their children and therefore override all of their children’s own desires and preferences.For them, the best way to protect their children is by preparing them for the future, letting them see what they’re capable of, and arming them with skills and work habits.
