<p>There's a lot of talk about Asian parents being tough on their children in terms of academic achievement - but I've found that a lot of my Chinese and Viet friends have experiences that are very similar (and in many instances, less extreme) than my own experience with an Arab father. </p>
<p>Do any of you have "tiger parents" that aren't Asian?</p>
<p>I’m Asian, but my parents aren’t tiger parents. I found that a lot of my friends with tiger parents did really well in elementary and middle school, but burned out in high school. Not sure if my post helps doh.</p>
<p>My mom is a Nigerian Immigrant. Complete Tiger mom</p>
<p>My mom’s a Chinese immigrant but pretty mellow (she used to be a lot more tiger-mom-ish). On the other hand, my non-Asian (white) friend has a pretty extreme tiger mom, kind of like how my mom was when I was in elementary/middle school.</p>
<p>I’m asian but adopted and my white parents hardly know what colleges I am applying to and always mix up early action and early decision lol</p>
<p>My Mom is not Asian, but she is a tiger mom when it comes to golf and school. Other wise she is nice. She also helps my friends, many of whom have no support at home.</p>
<p>Two african (Ethiopian) parents, dad is a tiger dad, mom isn’t</p>
