​​Is parenting forgiving?​

Twinkle Khanna’s instagram handle is a handy parenting guide for all those finding trouble in this area. Here are some profound parenting wisdom exuded by this sassy author and mother of two:

​​Not considering parents a superhuman​

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.

​​Parenting is tough​

We need to permanently dedicate a large number of our neurons towards their mosquito bites, bad grades and hurt feelings.

​​Raising sons attentively than daughters​

“I did write a column about how to raise our sons the right way and not just focus on raising our daughters,” says Twinkle Khanna.

​​Parents should train before becoming one​

Twinkle Khanna said in an interview, “If you ask me, just the way you have to train and get a licence to drive after passing a test, being a parent should also require some prior training. All of us are just winging it and hoping for the best at this point.”

​​Leading by example​

Twinkle, being a published author, is an ardent bibliophile. She reads to her daughter, Nitara often which in turn, inculcates the knack for reading in children from a tender age.

​​Motherhood is a never ending job​

A mother needs to keep an eye on her child’s mind as much as she does on her homework. She must follow the tendrils of her thoughts, and each time she sees something askew, she has to nudge it back in place and she needs to do this every single day.

​​Give up on mom guilt​

“I may be far from perfect and I live with that guilt like most other members that belong to this tribe, but if I can do this much, then that’s good enough and perhaps good enough is as marvellous as we all need to be,” says Khanna.

​​Playful environment raises confident kids​

Twinkle lets her children have all the fun at home. She posted a photo sporting red cheeks, bushy black brows and splattered lipstick applied to her by her daughter Nitara. Her makeover artist was also seen posing confidently in the photo.
