A viral video shows a mother in China punishing her daughter for allegedly getting bad grades. She dangles her over a fast flowing river while shouting at her. When does discipline cross the line? Why are some Chinese parents so tough on their children? Do ‘tiger mums’ practice the best parenting?

Also we speak to the agony aunt who’s using Instagram to dish out relationship advice to her followers in Nigeria.
