'Dilwale' actress Kajol said her children are her biggest gurus. “I've been learning from my kids ever since I was pregnant. I learn something new from them every day. Sometimes there are words which I don't understand when they are talking, so they tell me the meaning with a lot of patience and ease. Sometimes it's their habits or outlook which I learn from. The most important thing I've learned from my kids is patience.” Speaking at an event in Mumbai, she said she uses love and little threats when trying to make her children pick up a habit.
However, giving them knowledge is the right way. “The most important thing is that I believe when teaching a child, whatever it might be, you need to tell the reason behind it because every child asks the same thing, Mom, why? So we can impart as much knowledge as possible. Make them understand the importance of it, necessity and its benefits and keep doing it repeatedly. I am sure it will remain in their minds and form a habit.”
When asked how she reacts to being caught doing something wrong by her children, she said, “If I am wrong and they catch it, then I apologise and rectify it.”
