R Madhavan Details His Unconventional Approach to Parenting Son

R Madhavan talked about how he raises his son, Vedaant.

He said he began treating Vedaant like an adult when he was very young.

At age five, Vedaant was asked for his opinions about what to do.

This helped Vedaant understand that his thoughts mattered to his father.

Madhavan said he did not protect his son from every difficulty.

He believes children make mistakes while growing up.

He wants Vedaant to avoid repeating his father’s mistakes.

Madhavan also supports Vedaant’s swimming career and called himself a “cool dad,” though he is unsure whether Vedaant agrees.
