The Biggest Mistake Parents Should Never Make
Ft. Shanthi Vinjamuri · 28:15 · 4 Nov 2026
Parenting is a bond, not only a responsibility. Vijay Rangu and Shanthi Vinjamuri talk about listening, control, comparison and how to reconnect with children.
Key discussion points
- The generation gap isn't new
- Imposing your own unfulfilled dreams on children
- Why 'I told you so' stops children coming to you
- When love turns into control
- Sitting together, but on separate phones
- Quality time beyond the same four routine questions
- Giving everything unasked vs rewards that are earned
- Listen, ask, understand, and only then find a solution
- Never compare: how words shape children
- Mutual respect, and including children in discussions
- Reconnecting through a trusted person or counsellor: professional help is okay
