Abhishek Bachchan Discusses Parenting Philosophy: Balancing Authority and Friendship
March 19, 2025 - 09:15
Abhishek Bachchan recently shared his insights on parenting, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a balance between being approachable and authoritative. As a father to his daughter Aaradhya, whom he shares with wife Aishwarya Rai, he believes that while it is vital to have a friendly relationship with children, parents should not aim to be their child's friends.
Bachchan articulated that the role of a parent is to guide and provide structure, which sometimes requires making tough decisions that may not always be popular with children. He highlighted that being a parent involves setting boundaries and expectations, which are essential for a child's development.
This perspective reflects a growing dialogue among parents about the dynamics of modern parenting. By sharing his views, Bachchan encourages others to find a healthy balance that fosters respect and understanding in the parent-child relationship, ultimately aiming for a nurturing environment that supports a child's growth and independence.
