Twinkle Khanna gives parenting advice

Twinkle Khanna has interesting views on various topics like equal pay and patriotism, and parenting is no exception. She thinks it's important to give kids the space to make mistakes, learn from them, and ask for help when needed. In a previous interview, she mentioned this belief. She wrote in her book, "We teach our children to study hard, to strive to succeed, but do we teach them that it's okay to fail? That life is about accepting yourself? That there is no stigma in seeking help? Our Indian culture is based on worshipping our parents. We grow up listening to words like respect, obedience and tradition. Can we not add the words communication, unconditional love and support to this list?"
