Abstract
Amy Chua published her parenting book in 20 11 , which raised controversy and
widespread discussions about Chinese and American parenting styles. Since then, "Tiger mom" .became a symbol of Chinese harsh training (Chao, '1994), but not western
authoritarian parenting. Appraisals and criticism about her parenting appeared in both
China and America. There were argument~ about whether her parenting was ·effective
and whether she could speak for most Chinese parents. Historical beliefs, cultural, child
rearing ideology, and social structures were extremely different in both countries, and
each had its special problems with child rearing. In general, researchers have found that Chinese parents tended to be stricter than American parents, and more closely control their children's activities. American parents, by constructs focused more on allowing freedom and encouraging creativity.
