Professor Amy Chua on being a Tiger Mother - a fascinating insight into the difference between Western and eastern parenting.

Yale Professor Amy Chua talks about parenting - the Chinese way- and the controversy her book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, sparked on both sides of the Atlantic. Her book imparted the secret behind the stereotypical Asian child's phenomenal success: the Chinese mother. Chua's parenting memoir told how she raised her two children: no sleep overs, hours of piano practice everyday, never accepting an A- grade, insisting on instilling respect for authority. This was very different from indulgent and permissive Western parents she saw in the rest of America. Chua discusses the highs and lows of raising her two girls, what she regrets and what she learned.
