Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother

Amy Chua

A lot of people wonder how Chinese parents raise such stereotypically successful kids. They wonder what Chinese parents do to produce so many math whizzes and music prodigies, what it's like inside the family, and whether they could do it too. Well, I can tell them, because I've done it... Amy Chua's daughters, Sophia and Louisa (Lulu) were polite, interesting and helpful, they were two years ahead of their classmates in maths and had exceptional musical abilities. But Sophia and Lulu were never allowed to attend a sleepover, be in a school play, choose their own extracurricular activities, get any grade less than an A, and not be the #1 student in every subject (except gym and drama). And they had to practice their instruments for hours every day, as well as in school breaks and on family holidays. The Chinese-parenting model certainly seemed to produce results. But what happens when you do not tolerate disobedience and are confronted by a screaming child who would sooner freeze outside in the cold than be forced to play the piano? In Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, Amy Chua relates her experiences raising her children the 'Chinese way', and how dutiful, patient Sophia flourished under the regime and how tenacious, hot-tempered Lulu rebelled. It is a story about a mother, two daughters, and two dogs. It's also about Mozart and Mendelssohn, the piano and the violin, and how they made it to Carnegie Hall. It was supposed to be a story of how Chinese parents are better at raising kids than Western ones. But instead, it's about a bitter clash of cultures, a fleeting taste of glory, and how you can be humbled by a thirteen-year-old. Witty, entertaining and provocative, this is a unique and important book that will transform your perspective of parenting forever.

Parenting Essentials

Ten Things Every Parent Should Do

Mark J. Musser

As parents, each day we are building a legacy into our children. Do you know what your legacy will be? The choices we make today will affect our children's choices tomorrow. How we live day to day will shape how our children make entertainment choices, whether or not they cultivate a life of prayer, how much they invest in God's Word, their attitude toward church, if they will develop a servant's heart, and what kind of parent they will be. Indeed, fifty years from now, what our children and grandchildren will be doing may very well come down to the way we train and equip our children today.You may have heard it said, "Your actions speak so loudly, I can't hear what you are saying." The great preacher, Charles Spurgeon, put it like this, "A man's life is always more forcible than his speech. When men take stock of him they reckon his deeds as dollars and his words as pennies." As parents, our words are important, but what our children will remember in the end is what we do as we live out our lives in front of their watchful eyes.Do you know what you should be doing as a Christian parent? Do you understand what essential characteristics must be modeled for your children and teens? These are the questions this family-defining book seeks to answer.Yet, understand, these parental choices will never be "once and done." We must model them each and every day. So parents, settle in for the long haul. Stay strong. Stay true, and fulfill your great calling as a parent. Your children, grandchildren, and beyond will all be better for it!
