What are the biggest parenting mistakes that affect a child's behaviour, confidence and emotional well-being? How do you raise confident, emotionally strong and independent kids without being too strict or too permissive?

In this conversation, parenting expert Dr. Riri Trivedi breaks down modern parenting, gentle parenting, child psychology, teenage behaviour, tantrums, screen addiction, emotional regulation, discipline and the everyday mistakes that can affect a child's confidence, resilience and relationship with their parents.

Dr. Trivedi explains why many parents struggle to say no, why giving in to every demand can create problems, and how to set boundaries without shouting, threatening or punishing children. She discusses what happens in a child's brain during a tantrum, why teenagers react with anger, and how parents can respond calmly instead of making difficult situations worse.

The conversation also explores how unresolved childhood experiences influence parenting, why children often repeat the behaviour they see at home, and how excessive pressure, unrealistic expectations and constant interference can affect their emotional well-being. From handling failure and building independence to managing phone addiction and maintaining trust during the teenage years, Dr. Trivedi shares practical ways to balance love, discipline and emotional connection.
