If you read the back of your book, it explains how to be a tiger mother.

There's a long list of things you didn't allow your children to do, your two girls.

Let me read a couple of them.

They were never allowed to attend a sleepover, have a play date, be in a school play, complain about not being in a school play, watch TV or play computer games, choose their own extracurricular activities, get any grade less than an A, not be the number one student in every subject except gym and drama, play any instrument other than the piano or violin, not play the piano or violin.

When you hear that list read to you, does it sound extreme?
