The rise of Chua's memoir brought the tiger parent phenomenon into the American mainstream during the 2010s. The tiger parent is a neo-stereotype of modern Chinese society, as well as in overseas Chinese communities around the world. A largely Chinese-American concept, the term draws parallels to strict parenting styles ostensibly common to households in East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, along with other developing regions of the world beyond Asia, including Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe, and the Arab world. The term "tiger mother" ("tiger mom") was coined by Yale Law School professor Amy Chua in her 2011 memoir Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. Specifically, tiger parents push their children to attain high levels of academic achievement or success in high-status extracurricular activities such as music or sports. Tiger parenting is a form of strict parenting, whereby parents are highly invested in ensuring their children's success.
