Does tiger parenting backfire?

Where it has made a difference with both my kids is they don’t make basic, stupid math errors when working on complex problems. One son, a chem. eng. major, sometimes has test questions where the answer is two pages worth of equations. One simple math error can throw an entire question into disarray. The other kid (not a science or math major) just aced the hardest econ class at his U. largely because of his level of comfort with equations and math in general.
