《虎妈战歌》一书的作者蔡美儿近日接受采访,回顾成为“虎妈”一年来的生活转变。令人意外的是,这位奉行“棍棒底下出才子”的母亲竟然来个180度大转弯,宣称自己现在是“和善、懂得放手的家长”。
2011年1月8日,《华尔街日报》刊登了《虎妈战歌》的内容摘要,介绍了蔡美儿如何以中国式教育方法管教两个女儿。这位耶鲁大学的法学女教授从不允许她的两个女儿出去玩或看电视,还要求学习成绩绝不能低于A;两个女儿要在严密监督下练习乐器,一次练琴的时间就长达几个小时,如果不从,蔡美儿便会对其严加管教。“虎妈”的教育方法轰动美国教育界,她也因此饱受外界批评。蔡美儿一再强调,她的书并不是父母教育儿女的指南,而是为人母十余年的回忆录。
Has Tiger Mom gone soft? One year after the release of her controversial memoir, "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother," Amy Chua is back in the spotlight, reflecting on how overnight infamy affected her life, her family -- and her parenting.
"I've changed a lot," she told The Huffington Post. "In October, we had 30 kids at our house! [We've hosted] co-ed parties with lots of food and music."
Lest anyone forget, here's how it all started. Last January, the Wall Street Journal published an excerpt from Chua's book with the headline "Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior." In the excerpt, Chua described how her daughters were never allowed to have sleepovers, appear in school plays, earn any grade lower than an A or have play dates with friends. A firestorm of criticism -- and more than a few jokes -- ensued. Chua, an author and professor at Yale Law School, spent much of 2011 on the defensive. In fact, many of her interviews seemed to lend fuel to her critics' fire.
