Love them, no matter what, everything else can happen later.

Inspire children, don’t force things on them. Our job is to expose them to opportunity.
Ms Anuja Mittal
Head of Middle School · Sanskriti School
Leave room for growth, be it slow or fast. Let your child figure it out at their own pace.
Poorva — The Other Way Movement
Childhood and Parenting Coach
The constant hurry to be places, to do things, to never miss out is taking away so much of our childhood from us.
Ms Preeti
Woodstock School, Mussoorie
The rush parents have to make children grow up faster is stealing the joy of childhood from them.
Ms Divya
The Ardee School
Let them step out of their bubble to experience real life. There is a difference between protection and over-protection.
Dr Ram Gopal Holla
Neonatal and Pediatrician · Rainbow Hospital, Delhi
Helicopter parenting has become the norm now. I see so many delays and issues happen because of parents constantly worrying over every small detail in their child’s life.
Mr and Mrs Gujral
Early Childhood Educators
41 years of teaching children has taught us: life will unfold, and kids will remain unprepared if you don’t let them try.
Dr Piyush Jain
Physiotherapist
Stop giving in to your kids’ demands. It is making behavioural issues worse, which leads to physical delays in the long run.
Ms Ritoo Bhasin
Baby Doux, Delhi
However much you love your child, we have to let them learn how to walk on their own. Let them initiate things and explore at their own pace.
Ms Sunpritt Dang
The Ardee School
The pressure of having a different parenting style, or doing something different from what others have done, adds so many unnecessary demands on the child.
