Known for being a strong advocate for parenting, reputed personality Dr. Madhu Chopra, mother of Priyanka Chopra and Siddharth Chopra, has also been truly vocal about her belief in the profound impact it has on shaping successful, confident, and respectful individuals. This is also reflected through the insights that she shares openly on the ‘Parenting Made Easy’ community on coto, a social community platform exclusively for women. While attributing her children’s grounded nature to enduring values, Dr. Chopra credits her parents for these values.
Reflecting on her upbringing, Dr Chopra acknowledges the influence of her conservative yet intellectually nurturing household. Having said this, she believes that parents should adopt the approach of smart parenting. “Smart parents have the ability to discern and wisely choose what lessons to derive from their own upbringing. New parents who possess this discernment can make thoughtful decisions about which values to adopt from their parents. I believe I was one of the smart ones.”
Moreover, she believes in allowing her children to explore, make mistakes, and not fear failure as her father always emphasized on knowledge acquisition and the freedom to make mistakes.”I told both my kids, you stand tall because you are standing on my shoulders. If ever you fall, I am right down there to hold you. Don’t be afraid of falling,” she added.
Sharing inspiring experiences, Dr. Chopra offers valuable advice to parents navigating the challenges of raising children on coto, a safe online space that encourages women to speak freely with like-minded individuals.
