MUMBAI: Actress Ishita Dutta has shared an honest video on her social media account where she has spoken about dealing with toddler meltdowns, further revealing how she handles emotional outbursts of her two-and-a-half-year-old son Vayu.
The actress has suggested that instead of gentle parenting all the time, a more balanced approach is necessary, where parents remain calm while their toddlers are throwing a tantrum and not beat themselves if at all they themselves have a break down at times.
Sharing her experience, she said, “Vayu is two and a half years old and I have seen a big change in his personality. The biggest one is that he wants to do things on his own. It can be simple things like eating by himself, wearing his clothes, putting on his shoes and tying his shoelaces. But he is still small, so he cannot do everything. That makes him irritated and it leads to a meltdown.”
