“Used to be tiger mum, now TikTok mum. Which is worse?” “Yes, she was saying this and that to encourage her daughter… but who can feel the sincerity of your concern if you’re holding a phone focused on your face while saying all this.” “Perhaps exploitation is too strong a word, but I definitely wouldn’t vlog my kid in front of the camera like that. It’s a tender and sensitive moment when the kid’s emotions are visible. Why would anyone want the public to see that?” “The biggest challenge for parents in this day and age is being present in the moment for the kids. Glad that the daughter is not holding it against her mum for doing that and hope the backlash makes the mother think twice before posting such sensitive stuff.” “All this for likes and views. Did she ask for her daughter's permission to put this up on her TikTok account?” “Daughter knows she is being filmed so guess it’s fine.” “I think the message she wanted to get across was nice, but it could’ve been better if she had recorded it without her crying daughter in the background. Hope the student will be able to stand back up!” “Well, it really depends on how her daughter really feels about it. At worst, if she took it in a negative way, it could have really affected her mental health.” “She was just filming the whole process for her husband (and other family members)... I watched the clip and although she is upset that she (daughter) didn’t do well, the mum is just telling her that the results do not mean the end of the world.” “I was disappointed that there are so many people who don’t know Sarah and what her social channel represents, but are so quick to pass judgement… I genuinely believe people benefit from seeing how the family interacts and connects… even (through) the tough situations they face.” “The message is quite positive though. It doesn't end with the result; it carries on to reflection… If she only shared good news and not the bad, it might send the wrong message.” “Yes, her daughter doesn’t get the result she wants but she didn’t sugarcoat it, instead reminding everyone that you are beyond your results.”
