Our parents made sure they put food on the table, took care of our needs and disciplined us the old school way. For us, those were halcyon days indeed. Tuition was practically unheard of and school holidays were genuine, unadulterated breaks where we were given free rein to play or idle to our hearts\u2019 content.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;95%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1200px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|10px||10px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#f2b307&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1><span>What is a Tiger Mum?<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"custom-indent\">The label \u2018tiger mum\u2019 was coined by Yale Law School professor Amy Chua in her book \u2018<span style=\"font-family: GothamRoundedBold; font-weight: bold;\">Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother<\/span>\u2019 in 2011.

Just think &#8212; if parents stage manage and direct their child every step of the way, set unrealistically high expectations and use every means available to eliminate obstacles that stand in the way of success, is it any wonder that the child\u2019s emotional well-being and self-development will be adversely affected?<\/p>\n<p class=\"custom-indent\">If decisions have always been made for the child, how will they ever learn to make crucial life choices in future? If the child is not able to measure up to expectations, that might affect their self-esteem or cause them to despair and give up altogether. If obstacles are expediently removed, how will the child acquire problem-solving skills and learn independence if their parents are no longer around or able to do so on their behalf?<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Adopting a Child-centred Approach&#8221; module_id=&#8221;Adopting-a-Child-Centered-Approach&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;95%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1200px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|10px||10px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#f2b307&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1>Adopting a Child-centred Approach<\/h1>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"custom-indent\">While there may be a profusion of expert advice touting best parenting practices, there\u2019s really no foolproof or cookie-cutter approach to bringing up a child. Perhaps the best guiding principle is in knowing your child inside out and tailoring your parenting approach to suit their temperament.<\/p>\n<p class=\"custom-indent\">If your child strives to excel academically and thrives on being pressured and stretched to the max, by all means be a tiger mum, or dad for that matter! The most important thing is to cater to their disposition, inclinations and abilities. If your child isn\u2019t academically strong, relentlessly pushing him or her will cause them to either feel anxious or rebel against your authority and this ends up straining the parent-child relationship.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/fromapixel.com\/lcentralold\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCentral-English-Enrichment-Tuition-Singapore-Blog-Tiger-Parent-Adopting-a-Child-Centred-Approach.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;LCentral English Enrichment Tuition Singapore Blog Tiger Parent Adopting a Child Centred Approach&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;35px||||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;30px||||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"custom-indent\">Too often, we make the mistake of seeing academic success as the only key to future success. We also forget that there are multiple pathways to success and that even the definition of success can vary. If a child grows up passionate about a cause that would change the world for the better, be it championing the rights of those who are marginalised or saving the environment, even if the job doesn\u2019t pay as well, isn\u2019t that commitment to a greater good a measure of success?<\/p>\n<p class=\"custom-indent\">Ultimately, be supportive of your child, but do set ground rules and expectations within reason. Listen to them and engage them in the decision-making process. Celebrate small successes along the way and allow them to fail so that they learn to pick themselves up. Never foist your own aspirations on them and do give them the space to be their own person. They will have you to thank when they grow up well-adjusted and fully capable of navigating and charting their own path in life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"custom-indent\">Thankfully, LCentral has a strong focus on academic success alongside developing leadership qualities and the love of learning. And your child can attend a free trial lesson so you can engage them in the decision-making process.
