I Have Never Lied To My Kid: Sonali Bendre Shares Her Experience In Raising Her Son

Parenting can be a tough job. It does not come with a set of rules and can be challenging at times. There are several decisions that we have to take as parents that rely on us following our gut. Since we have to deal with kids and every kid is different, there is no way to follow a set of guidelines to bring up our children. However, there are a few things that have proved to be beneficial to the relationship you build with your child irrespective of how you bring them up. One such thing is being friends with your children. Some parents believe that it is better to be friendly with their children while still maintaining a relationship of a parent and child while others believe that it’s best to be their friends. While these two aspects of parents come from different schools of thought, let’s see what Sonali Bendre has to say about it.

Recently, in an interview with a popular newspaper, Sonali spoke about parenting. She said that she prefers to be a friendly parent rather than be a friend to her 14-year-old son. She said her son, Ranveer shares a certain relationship with his father, aunts, grandparents, and friends. While she understands that it’s important for her son to have a healthy outlet, she adds that she does not think it’s essential that she has to be his friend. She expressed that she is not her child’s friend and doesn’t need to be. She believes that as his parent she can be a friendly one and still have a great time together.

When asked about the relationship with her son, the actress stated that she has never lied to her kid. Emphasizing the same, she said that she might dress up the truth a little bit but has never lied. She adds on to this by saying that if she expects her child to be truthful, it is contingent that she be true to him too. She shares that the only reason she feels she cannot be completely honest with children is that they tend to over-analyze what you say which as a parent you don’t want. The actress says that instead of lying to her kid she prefers telling him a lighter truth so that he won’t be scarred by the complete truth.
