Parenting is tough and exhausting physically and emotionally, so when you see accomplished individuals, you wonder what did their parents do to help them develop the hunger to achieve goals? While there is no secret recipe to raise a child, it does help to read stories of parents of outliers, their experiences and how they handled emotions at different stages of life. “The minute we know that somebody else was/is in the same boat, we find solace when we realise others too have felt the same way and you learn to navigate,” says Mansi Zaveri, founder of kidsstoppress.com.
It has been an exciting week for Mansi as her new book The Parents I Met is to be launched on December 9 at Museum of Solutions, Kamla Mills in Mumbai. The 279-page Penguin publication, is an anthology of her in-depth interviews with parents of people like like PV Sindhu, Rujuta Diwekar, Sandeep Nailwal, Anuj Nayar, Pooja Dhingra, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Sushmita Sen.
