A new book about Chinese-style tough parenting has caused debate in the US．Amy Chua, the author of Battle Hymn （颂歌）of the Tiger Mother, is a Chinese-American professor at Yale Law School, also a mother of two．
The 36 methods she used with her daughters would seem 37 to Westerners．In school her daughters weren't allowed to have grades 38 than As．They had to 39 playing the piano or violin even for hours a day．
There has been wide criticism (批评) of Chua's book in the US．"It's a(n) 40 way of parenting," said a professor at New York University, "standards of parenting need to be 41 ．Children need parents to 42 them, not to force them to do things they're probably not interested in．”
Now the criticism seems to have 43 to China．Sun Yunxiao, an expert from the China Youth and Children Research Center spoke to The Beijing News about his 44 . He argued Chua's method of 45 would limit children from developing their full 46 ．"Some Chinese parents do focus too much on test scores and good degrees," Sun said, "What gets sacrificed (放弃) along the way is their kids’ 47 to develop fully and to enjoy life．"
48 critics(批评家)might have sympathy for kids who experience this parenting style, some teenagers quite 49 it．"I think anyone can do well if they work hard enough,” said a 17-year-old boy, "A 50 mother is there to help her kids work hard．"
Others think that Chua has a（n） 51 in setting challenging goals for kids．"It's important for children,” said an American professor, " 52 speaking , kids need to be 53 sometimes．If you urge kids to do well, they are good at it, and they 54 from it．It's good to have high 55 ．”
