The notion of a "tiger parent" is analogous to other authoritarian parenting stereotypes, such as the American stage mother, the Japanese kyōiku mama, and the Jewish mother.

I like how there are a handful of different regionally-specific terms, and then there’s just ‘Jewish Mother’.

Wow, I thought it was Asian culture only.
