The Tiger Mom Approach: Teaching your children not to play and be creative. Teaching them that they are only loved if they have performed succesfully. Draining them of self-esteem and teaching them not to enjoy life.

(The alternative to the Tiger Mom Approach is not indulgence and lack of discipline. Giving your child love and joy can easily be combined with authority and teaching them to make an effort.)
