How to educate my child? This is the question parents keep asking themselves and is the problem that would stuck with(缠绕)them for more than 18 years．Well, most people in western countres would lide to create a happy invironment for the children and don't want them to stand too much pressure．However, Amy Chua, “Tiger Mom” as she calls herself, has some different opinions．
She has two daughters, Sophia and Lulu, and she has been very strict with them．But so far, the two girls are doing a great job．Sopthis(now 18)plays the piano and Lulu(now 15)plays the violin．
Here are some things Amy Chua would never allow her daughters to do：
·attend a sleepover at a friend's house(参加朋友家过夜的晚会)
·be in a school play
·complain about not being in a school play
·not be the No．1student in every subject except gym and drama(话剧)
·play and ynstrument except the piano or violin
·not play the piano or violin
Many westerners are shocked by the Tiger Mom, but they also question ber： bow can you raise your kids like that? But at the same time, the Chinese kids in such an environment are outstanding．They have perfect scores and perfect behaveor．And now, they are thanking their mom for the way of education she gave．
“What kind of kids do I want mine to bi? ” Many parents always question themselves
this．“ No pains, no gains．It is simple．When you want something, you have to suffer for if first．” Some parents agree with Amy．But not all the people think so, they just wish their children to be happy every day．
An argument is continumg in the US over how strict parents should bi with their children．Is it better to be a“ Tiger Mom”? What do you think?
