SINGAPORE - As her daughter prepares to sit the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) this year, Ms Samantha Ding finds herself feeling stressed over how to best support her along the journey.

Previously working full-time, Ms Ding, 42, decided to take a freelancer role to dedicate more time to helping her daughter, Candice Han, prepare for the exam. Yet, listening to her friends discuss their children’s good PSLE scores made her wonder if she was doing enough as a parent.
