What Is Tiger Parenting? Tiger Moms Have Tough Rules, But a Lot of Warmth
Amy Chua coined the term "Tiger Mom" in her book, The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, in 2011.Since then, it's been used to describe a parenting style that uses harsh tactics like fear and shame, but also one that prioritizes familial closeness. Studies show tiger parenting has different outcomes, depending on cultural factors. The term "Tiger Mom" burst onto the scene in 2011 when Amy Chua, a Yale law professor and mother of two daughters, published a book about her parenting style called The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. In it, she ascribes tiger parenting to Chinese parents (though she admits she uses the terms "Chinese" and "Western" loosely — and, really, anybody can adopt this style).

Four Basic Parenting Styles & High Awareness: Diana Baumrind
My aim in this article is not to go into descriptive depth of the four basic parenting styles. Therefore you'll only get a very, very brief description of Baumrind's 3 parenting styles (a fourth one was added later by Maccoby and Martin). If you wish to read more about each one of Baumrind's 3 parenting styles, their presumed effect on children and a more elaborate introduction into Baumrind's anaytical tools of demandingness & responsiveness, you may want to read this article on the 3 parenting styles first. In that article on parenting styles, you'll get a presentation of each parenting style at full length. This article, on the other hand, will take 'meta' perspective on Baumrind's 3 parenting styles and go into analytical depth. Taking point of departure in recent, insightful academic comments on Baumrind's theories, I wish to take her model a step further.
