A new study from UC Riverside found that tiger parenting damages a child self esteem, reports Time.
The study authored by Cixin Wang, an assistant professor from UCR’s Graduate School of Education, also concluded that such strict parenting techniques put kids at greater risk of depression and problem behaviors.
Tiger parenting is used by some Chinese parents and was popularized by Amy Chua’s book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom in 2011.

It also shows that it is important for Chinese parents, who tend to be less emotionally expressive and use less praise in parenting, to show their approval, love and support for their children.”
