School results are out everywhere. Is anyone thinking of the Tiger Mom who just might have made it possible to get that edge?
I know the “Tiger Mom” has received Criticism from everyone for her beliefs She is a merciless tyrant who does not care About her child, she is so focused that she is not aware That her child in trying to excel in every sphere Is stressed out, stretched thin, living in fear Of being disciplined by her if he falls short somehow Of her expectations, no leniency does she allow The psychological impact of her strict parenting style She does not realize, is snatching away her child’s innocent smile Her child is weighed down by expectations unrealistic He has no opportunity to develop in a manner holistic
This is the critical manner in which we perceive The mother who pushes her children to achieve Yet I’d like to say something in her defense She teaches her children that the essence Of success lies in hard work and discipline Such a mother inspires her children to win Some say this comes at a cost to The self-esteem of the child, I don’t think that’s true For when a child sees the fruits of his labor His confidence soars-that’s a point in her favor She motivates her children to be diligent, and thus succeed Isn’t success what we all want for our children indeed?
No I am not saying all mothers should try To be tiger mothers, the idea would not fly Some parents bring their children up to do Whatever interests them, keeps them happy too That approach works well, I do agree I just think that’s not the only way to be It takes all kinds of parents and their techniques To create diverse adults with qualities unique!

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
