Hi this is Tutor Nick P  and this is Word Origins 43. The  word origin today is

Adverbs of manner

Tiger mom. Okay. Let's take a look at the note. The term Tiger mom comes directly

from Tiger parenting. All  right. We,  we have a term like that. Here it ...and remember

Tiger itself is a symbol for Asia.  Remember like in the late like 1980s

or when a lot of the Asian economies were doing really very well. You know,

economies like South Korea, Taiwan,  Singapore ... a number of them were often

refer to as the tiger economies. That were ... that were you know quickly going up

at one point. So let's continue. Many Asian American parents are known for

being strict or at least by American standards anyway. And demanding they

often pressure their children to reach high levels or standards as well as

participate in extracurricular activities. For example,  learning to play

a musical instrument,  like a piano or violin or especially like a high-class

one. Okay. The term Tiger mom was coined by ... so coined by means created by Amy

Chua in her 2011 memoir. So she wrote you know,  a story about her own life experience.

\"Battle Hymn of the Tiger Moms, \" and that term caught on. It's become a regular

term now. Any time,  especially with Asian parenting or especially the Asian mother

is often referred to as a tiger mother,  especially if she is this type. Of course,

there's a lot of success here. We know that a lot of Asian ,  Asian Americans you

know,  if you figured out percentage-wise,  they usually do pretty well. So maybe

some of this actually works. Anyway I hope you got it.  I hope it's clear. Thank
