While "tiger mother" is a generic term for the tiger parenting phenomenon, representing a concept that was not commonly known until the publication of Chua's book, the broader phrase "tiger parenting" also acknowledges the fact that fathers or other parent-figures can also instigate, participate in, or be accomplices to the behavior. Western parenting tries to respect and nurture children's individualism while Chinese parents believe that arming children with in- demand job skills such as mathematical and scientific proficiency, strong work habits, and inner confidence prepares them best for the future.

For instance, Asian parents often apply strict rules and parental authoritarianism to their children while many white American parents deem creativity and self-sufficiency to be more valuable.

Chua's book has generated interests and controversies in the “Tiger Mom” parenting method and its role in determining children's education outcomes.

In reaction, some parents have relaxed their formerly strict discipline with their children, and some schools have modified their admissions requirements to be less demanding. According to some sources, children raised under a strict, controlling, and punitive tiger mother will suffer a chronic social and psychological toll. The affected children include not only those residing in Asia, but some children from immigrant families of Asian ancestry who live in other parts of the world outside Asia. Children raised with a less supportive type of parenting have developed chronic mental health and psychiatric problems such as anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and contemplation of suicide.

Chua also reported that in one study of 48 Chinese immigrant mothers, the vast majority "said that they believe their children can be 'the best' students, that 'academic achievement reflects successful parenting', and that if children did not excel at school then there was 'a problem' and parents 'were not doing their job'". Chua contrasts them with the view she labels "Western"that a child's self-esteem is paramount. Chua uses the term "Tiger Mother" to describe a mother who is a strict disciplinarian. In one extreme example, Chua mentioned that she had called one of her children "garbage", a translation of a term her own father called her on occasion in her family's native Hokkien dialect.

Inspired by Amy Chua's book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, Tiger Style! is about two Chinese-American siblings raised under the overachieving and Ivy League-seeking, tiger-style parenting. The duo soon discovers that academic achievements and hard work do not always equal personal or professional success, and decide to go on an "Asian Freedom Tour" on a mission to become more in touch with their Asian roots. As a third- generation Chinese-American immigrant from San Diego who was brought up under such tiger parenting, Lew personally felt that the book triggered some distressed responses among parents by misrepresenting this style of parenting, and "wanted to reexamine what the Asian-American spin is on what we both consider to be American values and also just cultural values" as well wanting to provide a "counter-narrative to we’re just a bunch of robots that don’t care about ourselves".

10/25/07 The kyōiku mama is one of the best-known and least-liked pop-culture figures in contemporary Japan. The kyōiku mama is analogous to American stereotypes such as the stage mother who forces her child to achieve show-business success in Hollywood, the stereotypical Chinese tiger mother who takes an enormous amount of effort to direct much of her maternal influence towards developing their children's educational and intellectual achievement, and the Jewish mother's drive for her children to succeed academically and professionally, resulting in a push for perfection and a continual dissatisfaction with anything less or the critical, self-sacrificing mother who coerces her child into medical school or law school. The stereotype is that a kyōiku mama is feared by her children, blamed by the press for school phobias and youth suicides, and envied and resented by the mothers of children who study less and fare less well on exams.Tobin, Joseph J., David Y.H. Wu, and Dana Davidson.

Following her widespread fame with Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother in 2011, Chua wrote this book with her husband Jed Rubenfeld after observing a more prevalent trend of students from specific ethnic groups achieving better academic results than other ethnic groups. For example, a striking demographic pattern that more Mormon students in Yale are emerging than a couple years ago. According to an interview conducted by Harry Kreisler from the Institute of International Studies, UC Berkeley, the authors explained such phenomenon prompted them to "look further into how those groups perform outside of school, and come to a conclusion that for some reasons, those groups have a tendency to experience most upward social mobility than others." Before its publication, The Triple Package drew attention for its highly controversial assertion that though with tough economy, shrinking opportunity, and rising economic inequality, certain communities are outperforming the national average, experiencing upward mobility and educational attainment at dramatically high rates, and that this success has to do with certain inherent characteristics belonging to these cultural groups.
