Parenting is not an easy task. However, it is the most fulfilling one! With the pandemic keeping kids away from school and friends, parents have to ensure the health and happiness of their little ones. “I started online classes and summer camps for kids to keep them away from the panic. I conducted a sevenday-long workshop, a dance party for mums and much more,” says mum influencer Harpreet Suri. Today, on Global Day of Parents, these celeb parents tell us how they are dealing with the unpreceden­ted situation.

They say that the child is the father of man, and that is true in our case. My son is the one lending courage to my 84-year-old mother and some of the house helps. I’m a proud father. As parents, this is what we want, to see our kids grow and become better human beings, especially in times like these.

For us, the biggest challenge was explaining to our elder child why she can’t meet her friends. We told her, that this will pass, and that it is not all that bad because when friends are away, parents are here with her. We did some different activities like painting pots, gardening, cleaning up the house, etc. I feel we’re just blessed to be together.

Ankita (wife) and I try our best to keep Mehr’s (daughter) life as normal as possible. We have made sure to give her more time and importance. While she enjoys dancing, singing and other kiddie activities with Ankita, she enjoys colouring, drawing and listening to music with me.
