Sample activity sheet from board
Unseen Extract no 6
Ever since an excerpt from the book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom, appeared in the Wa Street Journal under the provocative title 'Why Chinese Moms are Superior' there has been debate, particularly in the western media, about the proto-Fascist parenting technique described by writer Amy Chua. Now Chua is no out-of-touch traditionalist. She's a Yale Law School professor married to an American. But she says western methods of parenting are too lax because there's no pressure on the child to excel,
In contrast, the Chinese mom has a strict set of rules which Chua herself applied to her two daughters: no sleepovers, no school plays or complaining about not being in a school pla no getting any grade less than A, watching TV or computer games or choosing their ow extra-curricular activities. She talks of a regime where kids practise the piano (or violin) for hours without complaining. In short, Mommy's way or you are so grounded and punished.
But while western mothers have expressed shock, there has been a quiet chortle of understanding here in India. Many Sherni mothers not only empathise, they cheer. Yes! At last, someone who is on the same wavelength as us. These Indian moms can be seen everywhere, ensuring that their child is a combination of Einstein, Sachin Tendulkar, Bobby Fischer, Picasso and Yehudi Menuhin. Not to forget Bill Gates. And Aishwarya Rai or Tom Cruise..
So we've got the picture of the Indian Tiger Mom (ITM), the one species not likely to go extinct anytime soon. But what about the father? What does he think of all this (assuming he thinks independently)? For argument's sake, we will assume the father too has some thoughts on the subject. Occasionally he bleats out his views.
