Yale Professor, Amy Chua’s new book ‘Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother’ has caused some serious controversy amongst parents in the US and probably in Europe too. It’s basically reignited a debate that’s always been going on. That is the ‘Strict versus soft parenting’ one. She just provided a new dimension to it. Her book is mainly talking about a specific style of parenting which might be seen as harsh within the Western parenting context.
Parents using this style don’t subscribe to the ‘Everybody’s a winner’ or ‘there are no losers’ mantra sweeping schools and parenting methods in the West. This type of approach doesn’t praise children just for the sake of it just so their egos aren’t hurt. This parenting style expects results from children and puts them under pressure to perform and deliver.

Hi Guys! Well, here they are, Bino and Fino, two cartoon characters we hope children of West African origin will come to know and love. To be honest, even though this is a Nigerian based project, we want children from all over the world to see the cartoon. Bino & Fino is an animation series driven by education, entertainment and the Nigerian cultural mix aimed at pre-school and kindergarten children.
The project came about when I saw the lack in children’s cartoons catering for the black African audience. You can also add to that, black family audiences worldwide who feel they are not being represented in this important form of media. So to cut a long story short, my company has decided to produce this niche independent cartoon series. It will be available for sale on DVD when we finish production.
