Stop mothering me. Why?

Tiger mothering might seem to be a useful counterbalance to such permissiveness, but both extremes leave something out.

One problem in assessing the tiger mothering approach is that we can t separate its impact from that of the genes that the parents pass on to their children.

We could look across time at the same people people, for example, who were genetically vulnerable to schizophrenia and ask what the contribution of mothering, of genetics are, and we could isolate third variables by doing experiments on the mental illnesses.
