Reading Aloud 1 Tiger mums groom little tigers Recently, I read news reports about “tiger mothers” and found them inspiring. I believe I will be a tiger mother in the future. Tiger mums raise their children in a strict, old-fashioned manner. Some mums are very gentle, protective and nurturing. But today’s adolescents need close supervision because there are so many temptations in society. Youngsters are not mature enough to resist such temptations as chatting online and playing computer games. This affects their studies and their future. To help children succeed, mums and dads need to be tiger parents. Strict supervision not only helps children’s performance, but also guides them towards greater achievements. Many parents want to be good mothers and fathers, but they overlook the importance of disciplining their children. The more lenient parents are, the fewer achievements their children will attain. We should expect our parents to be demanding, and let them guide us to success. Kina Chung (5A) South China Morning Post (March 18, 2011)
