Many Chinese mothers are afraid that their children will fall behind their classmates， so these mothers are becoming "tiger mothers"． They believe the harder their children study， the happier life they will have in the future． Is it true？ Lulu and her sister Sophia may have a say．
Lulu and Sophia have a "tiger mother"． She pushed them a lot when they were young． For example， they were not allowed to get grades lower than A's． They had to practice the piano or violin for several hours a day． There were no games or TV．
The tiger mother， Amy， is a Chinese﹣American professor at Yale Law School in the USA． Several years ago， she wrote a book named Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother and shared her strict parenting style（育儿方式）in it．
Many people don't like Amy's style of parenting． They once worried that her daughters would not be happy． However， the two girls have grown up and they are thankful to their mother．
Sophia has just graduated from Yale University． She is hard﹣working， friendly and helpful． Not long ago， she shared some useful studying tips online． Lulu is also a warm， smart and popular girl in her friends' eyes． She said tiger mothers believed that a child could succeed by being pushed to go all out．
Still， not everyone agrees with the tiger mother's parenting style． In fact， there isn't a parenting style that fits everyone． What's the best parenting style for you？ Maybe you should work it out together with your parents．
