You may recall my earlier post about the self-described "Tiger Mom," in the book called The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom, by Amy Chua. She wrote about her tactics for child-raising. Many felt they were unusually strict - no sleepovers, no school clubs except for academically-oriented ones, hours of violin or piano practice daily, etc.
Well, the latest news is that her oldest daughter, Sophia, who's a senior in high school, applied to colleges and got into both Harvard and Yale. Here's the news story: http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/national_world&id=8057624
The adult college degree students in my Child Growth and Development class discussed Chua's book when we were discussing parenting techniques. Hearing the update wowed all of us. Her techniques might not be on the "how-to" list that most of us would ascribe to, but she did get results. And now her daughter has started a blog. Wow, blogs are getting popular! The lovely thing about Sophia is that she writes that she likes both her parents. There are certainly some interesting dynamics that could afford thought-provoking ideas in many psychology classes.
