Tara Sutaria Says Children Should Feel Safe Arguing with Parents

Tara Sutaria Says Children Should Feel Safe Arguing with Parents

Tara Sutaria says children should be allowed to disagree with their parents.

This does not mean children should argue all the time.

It means disagreement should not feel impossible or dangerous.

Tara describes her relationship with her sister and family as an example of this balance.

Dr. Rohini Patil says children may argue because they are checking whether different opinions are accepted.

A child can disagree and still feel safe and loved.

Children who never argue are not always simply obedient.

They may have stopped sharing their thoughts because they expect conflict.

Patil says that silence can be more worrying than an argument.
