I read Sandra Tsing Loh's review of Tiger Mom and, while I enjoyed her review (love her irreverent reviews), I wasn't sure I'd like the Tiger book. Glad to hear it was enjoyable and funny. What a great mix.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356332869012029488.post-64434680244973873402011-05-16T13:44:57.265-07:002011-05-16T13:44:57.265-07:00I loved how you explained it and I definitely agre...I loved how you explained it and I definitely agree. Looking back on my own childhood, it was those glory moments that make me who I am today.

I felt like a military commander, shouting orders, but missing all that beautiful zing that life can offer. Now that I've mellowed to my default parenting style which is more relaxed, but not too permissive, the whole household seems to feel more connected to the beauty, wonder and magic of this big wide experience called life. A happy life, full of imperfections, moments of wasted time perhaps, but perhaps also tiny bursts of glory.melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08744393969916248418noreply@blogger.com
