Ishita Dutta Shares Parenting Wisdom: Options, Not Orders, for Toddlers

• Actress Ishita Dutta, Ajay Devgn's 'daughter' in Drishyam, shares her unique parenting philosophy for her two-and-a-half-year-old son, Vayu.
• She emphasizes that parenting is challenging, especially when toddlers develop their identity and desire independence, leading to 'toddler meltdowns'.
• Dutta learned that during a child's meltdown, immediate solutions or scolding are ineffective; instead, parents should remain calm and offer reassurance.
• Her key advice is to give children options rather than orders, making them feel heard and independent while parents retain control.
• Examples include offering choices for meals or clothing, empowering the child and reducing resistance.
