In Singapore, success is often tied to academic performance — but what happens when that pressure affects our children’s emotional well-being… and our own?
In this episode of In Mother Words, I sit down with Marilyn, an educator with more than 10 years of teaching experience, a mum to a strong-willed six-year-old, and the co-founder of ARTÉ Pickleball. Marilyn has spent years observing how children learn, how they cope, and how parents often shoulder silent emotional burdens.
Together, we talk about:
• How Singaporean children start linking their self-worth to grades
• Why mums feel the weight of academic pressure the most
• The importance of validating our children’s emotions
• Why resilience matters more than perfection
• What emotionally safe parenting looks like day to day
• Why letting our kids “fail” is essential for growth
• How sports (like pickleball!) can build grit and confidence
This episode is a gentle reminder that you don’t have to be a perfect mum. You just have to be a good enough one. And “good enough” goes further than you think.
If you’re a mum who’s ever felt overwhelmed, not good enough, or worried about whether you’re doing right by your child — this conversation is for you. ❤️
