Tiger Mom and Helicopter Parent Recently, I happened to read an article from a book. it made me think a lot. it talked about a quite interesting topic for me,like "Tiger Mom "and "helicopter parent".I am not sure that phrases like that have really made their way into everyday language? if so, how do you about it? I am a typically chinese girl. I didn't mean to stereotype, at least, I have a traditional chinese parent.when I was a little girl I was not allowed to do anything with my parents permitted. but that's fine by me. I thought that all parents would do like that:just pay attention to their kids, clear all the obstacles ahead of them.,being a parent is minimizing risk for their children. but I found out maybe I was wrong. when I was talking about our parent with my best friend ,it reminds me of what I have gone through. I was not allowed saty at a friends' house overnight; I had to come back home home before 10:30 at night; I need to keep distance from those boys, yep, and they would stop me do anything that they thought what would bring dangerous for me. I think it's not mere a coincidence, I talked about my parents with my friend, and Uh-oh, after a short while, I read this article. so I was wondering is there something wrong with kind of "overparenting style "?
