Our job is not to give our children perfect childhood: Read here to know what Twinkle Khanna says on Parenting

Actor Twinkle Khanna is a mother of two children and has written and spoken about her parenting experiences.

In her recent post, she urges mothers to help their children grow into well-rounded individuals, providing them with various experiences and exposing them to new ideas while recognizing and celebrating their strengths. At the same time, it is important for mothers to help their children become aware of and learn from their weaknesses. 

She posted a picture where she was kissing her daughter Nitara and captioned it, “Our job is not to give our children perfect childhoods. It is to fill their heads with ideas, to honour their strengths and make them aware, but never underline their weaknesses.”

She added, “It involves loving them madly and throwing a few vegetables down their throats. We need to permanently dedicate a large number of our neurons towards their mosquito bites, bad grades and hurt feelings. And we must do all of this, day after day, without losing sight of everything we are and can be, along with being their mothers.”

Fans appreciated her post and swamped the comment section. A person commented, “So utterly beautifully said.” Another commented, “contemplating the motherhood but surely agree and long road to b there 👏👏and yes ur post do make aware.” “So well said! Sticking the first line on my wall. I may not always do this in the “correct” quantities, but my ambition is to use this as a well balanced road map. Thank you!” commented the third one. 

Twinkle Khanna, also known by her pen name “Mrs. Funnybones”, is an Indian author, newspaper columnist, former film producer and interior designer. Her books like “The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad” and “Pyjamas are Forgiving” also have a chapter or two dedicated to her parenting experiences and her thoughts on it.
