Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 29 to 33.
As a parent, you often may feel like a superhuman circus act as you help bathe, dress, feed, teach, console, and do a
multitude of additional tasks for children who seem to have an endless supply of needs. You may feel exhausted by all
of the demands, but it also can be rewarding to feel needed. “They only are so small for so long,” you may think, “so
I’ll just do this for now.” Hold that thought for a moment. Remember that one of your roles as a parent is to prepare
your child for an independent, self-sufficient life. If you find that you often step in quickly to help, you may
inadvertently communicate that your child is helpless and incapable. How can you strike a balance between nurturing
and fostering independence by facilitating competence and confidence?
Create opportunities for your children to feel like "big kids" and learn that they are just as capable. Have your child
practice picking out their own clothes, preparing their own snack, ordering for themselves, or asking a store employee
a question. For instance, “Excuse me, when will you get more Legos in your store, please?” If you have a neighbor
with a younger child, perhaps your child can be a “mommy’s or daddy’s helper” by watching or playing with the
neighbor’s child while the parent is busy. Depending on where you live, some children may be able to walk to a
friend’s house. Encourage your child to look up answers to questions they don’t know, like the definition of a word.
Establish a chore chart to help children build confidence and learn to take care of themselves. Even toddlers can
practice putting toys away, while older children can take on more complex tasks like feeding pets or putting laundry
away. Linking allowance to chores can teach children how to manage money. Select household chores rather than self-
care activities to earn money, and use three containers labeled “save,” “spend,” and “give” to help children understand
saving, spending, and charitable giving.
Children do grow up quickly. Yet, by providing opportunities for independence and teaching them important life
skills, you can savor the moments while also preparing them for the future.

 As far as we know, the term “tiger parenting” did not exist until the publication of Amy Chua's (2011) book, Battle
Hymn of the Tiger Mother. Amy Chua, a Yale law professor with two daughters, writes about her Chinese heritage and
the way it has influenced her parenting choices. Her daughters are not allowed to watch TV or play computer games,
have sleepovers or play dates, or get any grade less than an A. Chua claims that these strict policies are the reason why
her children have been so successful in school and in their music studies and argues that this type of parenting is
common in Asian families. However, critics argue that her methods will not lead to optimal developmental outcomes
in children, highlighting the lack of scientific research supporting her claims and the potential reinforcement of
stereotypes.
Asian American parenting started gaining scholarly attention with the landmark publication of Ruth Chao's (1994)
paper in the journal Child Development. Her study questioned why Asian American children perform so well
academically despite their parents being more likely to use authoritarian parenting styles. This was significant because
authoritarian parenting often correlates with poor academic outcomes in European American children. Research also
uncovered an achievement/adjustment paradox: despite academic success, Asian American children had lower levels
of socio-emotional health. This highlighted the need to clearly define "successful outcomes" in children.
Tiger parenting differs from authoritarian parenting by combining high levels of negative parenting (strict rules)
with high levels of positive parenting (warmth and support). After Amy Chua's book, scholarly research aimed to
scientifically test tiger parenting. Studies showed that parenting in Hmong, Chinese, and Korean American families is
a mix of power-assertive and supportive parenting. The purely power-assertive parenting described in Chua's book was
not common. Findings revealed that children with supportive parents had better developmental outcomes compared to
those with tiger parents.
Supportive parents made up the largest percentage of parents in each data collection wave, contrary to the popular
perception of Asian American parents as tiger parents. Children with supportive parents had the highest GPAs, best
socio-emotional adjustment, least alienation from parents, and strongest sense of family obligation. This debunks the
myth that tiger parenting leads to the best outcomes. The study results have been positively received among Asian
Americans, challenging the stereotype and providing a wake-up call to tiger moms and dads. Some European
American parents felt reassured about their own parenting methods after learning about the study's findings.
Regardless of how the data is analyzed, supportive parenting consistently results in the most well-adjusted,
successful children. Supportive parenting involves being warm, using reasoning and explanation when disciplining
children, allowing independence when appropriate, and monitoring children's activities. Parents should minimize
shouting, shaming, expecting unquestioned obedience, and blaming children for past mistakes. These findings
encourage parents to adopt supportive parenting techniques for better child development outcomes.
