Category 2 - I'm that mom that stayed home over the National Day Holiday(s) to assist my child with exam preparations. Nature (genes) and nurture (teaching / training) need to go hand in hand to bring out the best in children for them to blossom.   There is no child that's stupid or untalented; every child has a hidden talent, waiting to be discovered and nurtured. And nurturing in itself is a painful process. Heard of '铁棒磨成针' and '台上一分钟，台下十年功'? A diamond would just be an ugly rock in the rough if not for all the painful grindings.  We were all children once. Who likes studying? Everyone loves the easy way out. And if us parents do not advocate the importance of education, who will? Leave it to their teachers, tutors and society? No, because they are our children and o

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$  I am a type 3 parent - working hard, letting children grow up happily (can I do otherwise with 2 teenagers? 🙂) Reflecting on my journey as a parent and looking to instill financial prudence in my 2 teenagers, here are areas that I think I should start, stop, and continue doing. Start - Involving Them in Financial Discussions: Begin including teenagers in conversations about household finances, budgeting, and investment decisions. This will help them understand the importance of financial planning. - Educational Resources: Introduce them to age-appropriate books, online courses, or even podcasts about personal finance and investing. Resources like "Rich Dad Poor Dad for Teens" by Robert T. Kiyosaki can be a good start. -

Had to repost this hilariously-written piece on my page for memory sake because it's just perfect!👌💯  Written by my darling NZ sis @Barcode who has so painstakingly and ingeniously integrated SG references in her writing 🤣😂 You guys ought to follow her for more stand-up / sit-down / lie-flat comedy, awesome technical analysis on a myriad of stocks, witty FIBS and entertainment! 🤪😜 She has a natural flair for such amusing prose and will never fail to make your day lolll 😂😂🤣🤣

Wow. Timing of this question is great. Singapore recently completed phase 2c of primary school entry. Many parents place extraordinary focus on making sure that their children enter into top schools. They shift homes by buying million dollar properties. By volunteering in schools and communities just to let their kids have that little bit of edge into entering a top school. Excessive and crazy? There are many who believe that pushing their children hard will give them that edge in life to do well in future. These are the so called tiger mums. I am honestly a failure of sg education system, I score poorly in school, nearly kicked out of university. Whereas my wife was a top student, who score As. Guess who is doing better now. [Cool] I believe in letting my child grow and find her intere

All of us Tiger traders here must have quite a bit of tiger heart, otherw we can’t survive this volatile market. It is actually most difficult to be a ‘Tiger mom’. Tiger parenting needs more time and energy. It requires more psychological and behavioral control over children, with a heavier emphasis on the promotion of courtesy and obedience and a lower tolerance for behavioral problems. Tiger mothers also set high standards for themselves while being strict with their children. There is never a doubt that parents trade stocks hoping for profits in order to better provide for their children’s well being. Thanks @Tiger_comments @icycrystal

As a parent in New Zealand, I'm thrilled to see play-based learning at the heart of our education system. It's a departure from my own upbringing with a 'Tiger Mom' who prioritized academic excellence. While it served me well, I'm eager to break free from traditional expectations and support my child's learning in a more holistic way. Taking my first step in this investing journey has been a discovery in itself. I'm excited to grow alongside my child, exploring the wonders of play-based learning together.

I am a parent that prefers to work hard for myself, giving my child a happy childhood with little pressure. I grew up in a strict household and the focus was on getting excellent grades and when I couldn't do it, then I felt like a complete failure. I kept moving on from skill to skill as I never felt I was good enough. I later on realised that I cannot learn in a classroom setting and I'm more of a hands on person. I learn by doing myself. That's why I became a chef, learnt music and dancing. Currently learning Forex and stocks by doing.

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$   I think pushing oneself is good but if pushed too much it can cause more harm than good. if you or child have tried their best then it's good work. no need to put more pressure in this already stressed life... [What]  @Aqa @GoodLife99 @Universe宇宙 @rL

I teach my children to be independent ! The one good at study, must study, the one not good at study must work smart, start to invest young. I dont know they will follow my advice or not, i hope they do. Not really like tiger mom who always demand the best results, but i just want them to be happy with their lives, consistent and perseverance in their career/business.

I let my child to have freedom and let him study himself. So far he is very sensible and know the importance of study and getting a great result. On and off I will share him about investing , money matter and he told me next time he want to use his saving to buy S&P 500 and his dream is to become finance manager or stock trader 😀 @Tiger_comments @SR050321 @MHh @HelenJanet @Fenger1188

Great and nice to share. It really depends. If the child needs a little push, go for it to let the child feels some pressure in this competitively landscape. If we sense that the child has no interests, then try to find alternative that the child enjoys in order to excel in it. Teach them the merits of investing while securing a job is also important.

I would be the 3rd kind, but will also let my children know that money does not drop from sky. They also need to know the importance of saving up for future investment.

I am pushing hard for myself. However, I never push hard for my children, but I want them to try their best and put in effort.

it's always good to push yourself to the limit and impart the good habit to your kids. good things must share. why not?

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ our kids are going to have a totally different future I feel 

Find balance to work hard, push hard and be happy altogether is never easy.
