Iris is a recovering tiger mother, unschooler, and founder of the Untigering movement. In her book "
Untigering: Peaceful Parenting for the Deconstructing Tiger Parent," she shares her journey and reflections on shifting away from parenting that is rooted in power to parenting that is grounded in partnership. After recognizing the negative effects of authoritarian tiger parenting in her own life, her mission now is to inspire generational and cultural transformation through peaceful parenting and child liberation, especially among Asian communities. She spent over a decade living and raising her kids in China but now resides with her family in California.
