　　Tigers are fierce(凶猛的)animals．They are the bosses of the Asian jungles．A pussycat(小猫), on the other hand, comforts us with its gentle warmth．

　　As a mother, the Chinese-American writer Amy Chua is definitely a tiger．Her book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother(虎妈战歌), tells of the strict family rules she gave her two children．She thinks that being strict is the only way to develop a child's potential(潜力)and to make them strong and successful．Her kids were not allowed to watch TV or play video games．They were not allowed to hang out with other kids after school．They had to be the top students in their classes．And they had to practice the piano and violin for hours every day．As a result, her kids became successful．

　　Chua says, like her, most Asian mothers are tigers because they believe their children can achieve a lot if they’re pushed hard enough．She says American mothers are really pussycats．They don't want to push their kids too hard for fear of hurting their feelings．American mothers encourage their children to find their own ways．

　　So, is a tiger mom better than a pussycat? Perhaps it depends on the differences between Asian and Western cultures and on the child himself．There is no easy answer．
