Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother

Indeed. Amy Chua writes of this in Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother - Do read this parents and teachers out there! She forced her kids to practise all the time and then people would tell her how lucky she was to have such ‘talented’ kids! Practice. Work hard. Fly. ✊🏾 https://t.co/WDUZnqdhwr
