Saina Nehwal Credits Strict Parenting for Success

Saina Nehwal, a famous badminton player, recently talked about how her strict parents helped her succeed.

She said parents should not be too friendly with their kids but should set clear rules.

Some people agree with her, while others think parents should be more flexible.

A doctor, Dr. Pavitra Shankar, explained that strict parenting works for some kids but not for others.

It depends on the child's personality and age.

She also said that parents should make sure their kids feel safe and understood, not just scared of getting in trouble.

The doctor recommends a mix of rules and kindness, praising kids for their effort, not just their results.
