Twinkle Khanna gives a thoughtful tip for parenting; says, “our job is not to give our children perfect childhoods”

Twinkle Khanna, daughter of yesteryear superstar Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia, marked her debut in 1995. However, her acting career was short-lived as she decided to quit in 2000. Later, she turned into a producer and writer. The actress also dons the hat of being a mother, and has been vocal about “imperfect parenting.” A handful of posts on her social media feed are dedicated to parenting. Making another addition to the same, on Friday, the former actress shared a tip. 

The actress-turned-author posted a photo of herself kissing her daughter Nitara while explaining how parents are not responsible for providing a ‘perfect childhood’ to their kids. “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. 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,” she wrote. 

Khanna further continued, “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.” She also asked her followers to share their views on the same.
