Self Introduction:
I am not a parent, yet But I am a sister of two younger brothers who make me worry on their academic performance.
My name is Evelyn Wong and I am a journalism student from Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information.
I am a generation y kid raised by generation x parents:
I come from a working class family and in summary, my dad is the main breadwinner and my mum, a housewife, does odd jobs to contribute to the family income. They are parents who want the best for their children (all parents too). They are not very educated but still, they are staunch believers in the value of education and make sure they do their best to give my brothers and I quality education.
Purpose of this post:
I am currently researching on a news article project on the increase activity in online parenting communities. I am interested in understanding your parenting concerns in raising a generation z (children born from the mid-1990s) child in Singapore and the benefits you derive from Kiasuparents.com
I would like to understand you, kiasu parents more by eliciting comments from you all. Please spare me a few minutes of your time to do so. Your kind assistance is much appreciated and will in turn add value to my understanding of parents nowadays which would be reflected in my news article project. 
P.S. Please note that comments are non-obligatory and I do not mean to cause any disturbance at this forum. (I hope I get the clearing from the administrators too!)
Questions:
To better understand you:
1) Are you a father or a mother?
2) Are you a SAHP/ FTWP?
3) tell me something about your beloved child/ren.
Your perspective on parenting
1) what does parenting mean to you?
2) how kiasu are you? Can you give an example?
3) What are the benefits of being kiasu? And the disadvantages?
4) do you think your kiasu-ism might pressurize your child/ren? if yes, do you balance your kiasu-ism to make sure your child/ren are not over pressured?
5) what are your concerns on parenting your beloved child/ren?
6) what do you think are the differences/ concerns in parenting a generation z child in Singapore as compared to parenting a child many years ago?
- for example the generation z children are more exposed to the global world, different forms of media, have easy access to information, enjoy a higher standard of living. Or living in Singapore, competition is tough..
Benefits derived from being a kiasu parent on kiasuparents.com

2) does kiasuparents.com help you in your parenting concerns in raising a generation z child in Singapore? If yes, how has kiasuparents.com helped? Can you give an example?
