A child gives birth to a parent, but it is the parent who guides and transforms the child into an individual who carries their head, heart, mind and soul in the right place. In this book, the author interviews parents of 22 celebrities, delving into their parenting skills and exploring how they bridged the gap between two different generations. Notably, it’s the words of Sushmita Sen’s father that left an indelible mark on us. In his interview for the book, Retired Air Force Wing Commander Sen shared, “We may initially disagree with the choices our kids make, but it’s important to be in that moment with them and see it through their eyes. As parents, we naturally believe that our ability to make decisions about the unknown is superior to that of our children.” Unless parents trust their children and allow them to learn from their mistakes, children will never find their own space in the world. The author leaves readers with a poignant thought, “Conditional love can be suffocating.” Haven’t so many adults learnt that as children? Dive into the book to explore the diverse hurdles parents face and how they navigate through them.
