You Might be Pushing Your Kids without Realising- Here’s How to Balance between Forcing and Lenience ft. Arti Sonthalia

I like to think of myself as an open minded parent who doesn’t push her daughter for anything but guess what I realised when I was researching for this episode? I realised that I sometimes force her without being aware of it and sometimes I am too lenient. This conversation helped me find a balance. I am speaking with author Arti Sonthalia.

She has a bunch of books, Big Bully and M-me (which was nominated for the Crystal Kite Asia Awards) Hungry To Read, Best Friends Forever (won the FICCI book of the year award 2020) Hungry To Play (shortlisted for the Neev Awards 2020), Read Write Race and Mehar’s World of Colours which is about letting the kids be.

Arti herself is an entrepreneur turned author. This episode is an open discussion between two parents about raising kids. I learnt from talking to Arti and you’ll also have some aha moments.
