Mum Sonali Bendre has found a great way to bond with her son!

3 May, 2017
Mum Sonali Bendre has found a great way to bond with her son!Mum Sonali Bendre has found a great way to bond with her son!

And it's a technique that most mums use!

For more than two decades, Sonali Bendre has enjoyed the love and admiration of her fans as an actor. But in 2015, she started another chapter in her professional life by becoming a published author.

The 42-year-old mum shared her personal struggles as a new parent and her understanding of motherhood in her book, A Modern Gurukul: My experiments with parenting. 

This not only helped her share her own parenting woes, but perhaps also changed her personal parenting style. Either way, Bendre has come a long way and is now sharing some innovate ways to connect with kids. Yes, you read that right.

She recently shared a rather cute video in which her son is seen cooking and spending time with his superfit mum.

Sonali's 7 ways to have fun with son

Along with the video titled 7 steps to make sushi featuring Rock Behl with she wrote: "It was 'soy' nice to spend time with @rockbehl #BondingWithMyBoy #ThingsMomsDo @flavour_diaries #Food #Foodie #FoodOfInstagram #FoodHeaven."

The video lists the seven funny ways in which she connected with her son while taking a sushi-making class.

  • Boil rice not your patience, control your tempura
  • Prepare the glaze, don’t just laze
  • Got to be on point
  • Toss the rice and your worries 
  • Get your ingredients and yourself together
  • Cause that’s how we roll
  • Got to make it look Picture perfect

Not to forget, she also listed some special ingredients: "fun times."

Honestly, Bendre makes parenting look so simple, mostly because her parenting style is all about keeping it simple and she is doing things that most Indian mums love to do- cook with and for their kids.

Sonali Bendre's unique parenting style

The yummy mummy recently shared her parenting secret and it's nothing like one would expect.

"I feel that in the process of raising Ranveer, I grew as a person and a parent. Motherhood has made me face certain things I did not anticipate at all - I came to know that I had a fearless side to me and that I could deal with anything. At the same time, motherhood has made me cautious as a person - I worry about my child," shared the mum.

She even added that every day as a parent is a new learning experience and so she adopts new parenting styles.

"My parenting styles have changed and evolved through my own experiences with Ranveer. Over the years, I have learnt that listening to my child is equally important and necessary to have a healthy relationship with him. I also believe there is no fixed pattern in parenting. There are times when your child requires you to be soft, others when the situation requires the opposite. Every day is a new learning experience," she shared with a leading daily.

She also added that parenting is also highly influenced now, thanks to newer technologies.

"The technicality of mothering is slowly squeezing the life out of motherhood these days. There is too much information out there. There are the TED Talks I listen to, newspaper articles, interviews of celebrities printed in lifestyle magazines that I read. It dawns on me that it is not about internalising parenting methodologies, but about deciphering the uniqueness of the relationship between every child and parent," she shared.

With her secret out, it is pretty clear that Bendre is just as any other regular mum and is strict when needed and soft when the times calls for it. This not only gives us an insight into her personal parenting style, but also how we in the new age must also learn to adjust.

3 ways urban parents have to adopt modern parenting style

  • It's all about the basics: Gone are the days when a good old spank would get the child to study better to be disciplined. Kids these days question authority with logic and the only way to counter that is to be logical and reasonable yourself.
  • Adopt modern technologies: In the age of 'Whats App' and 'Skype' parents need to be modern in their approach of communication. This helps to not only understand the child, but also shows them that you are at par with the modern times.
  • But also know when to say 'No' to technology: There is too much information out there that is easily accessible through cell phones, laptops and television. So know when to limit its use by your kids. If you can live without cable television, try that. If you limit your child's access to technology, you can try that as well.
