I asked one of my kids what it was like to have a tiger mother. She replied with just one word. Horrifying. Then she paused. "Horrifying but good." She has developed excellent comic timing over the years, timing acquired after years of compulsory cello practice. "I didn't appreciate it at the time but I look back and realise how lucky I was."

Please read my spirited defence of the tiger mother, from the tiger mother's point of view. It should be your view too because this insane concentration on "happiness", whatever that means, is draining away your child's ability to work in teams, to develop arguments and to know stuff. We still have to know stuff. We have to learn to engage with the difficult and demanding, otherwise any agency we have will be stolen.
