It's called "extreme parenting" because it ain't a balanced one.. ofcourse it's not effective.

The Tiger mom is proud of her strict education and thinks it's a good one...but some elements of it are really awful -- saying to your kid that she's good for nothing (or sth like that) or make her stay up half of night to get right notes on piano...isn't it going too far?

Yep teen suicides are getting more common too. Parents and school should properly mould a child's character.
Adequate time should be spent with them; but they do need some breathing space.

I think in most cases a balanced relationship between parents is lacking, of the people I know either their the parents are pushovers or extremely strict, I think its hard to find that balance. The again my parents put in a hell of alot of energy/focus/time into my education, yes i used to get the odd whack when I didn't behave or when I wasn't focusing but they didn't call me a failure- all they said is put in 100% and do your best, that's all we ask for.

I am not even a bit aware of what that means, I have never really had anything imposed on me. My mother taunts and shouts but both her and my father are extremely liberal.

I have seen few fashion victims in school, though who have real strict parents. And I realize, the more rules you are supposed to abide by - the more you look for ways to break free and do precisely the opposite. Most kids with strict parents are disasters! Twas a lil hypothetical, though. 🤓
