tiger parenting
Strict achievement-focused upbringing
Tiger parenting is a strict, demanding approach to child-rearing that emphasizes academic achievement, discipline, and high expectations.
The term gained currency from Amy Chua's 2011 memoir and is associated with East Asian parenting styles, though it describes any highly authoritarian approach: Her tiger parenting meant no sleepovers and three hours of piano practice daily.
