Iam an Allied Health sciences student . Iam disagreeing with the doctors concept about parenting. I was following all the episodes of DR. Philip John and iam satisfied with what he said in the last 3 episode. I think we no need to be that much strict to the children and it will affect the personality of our child. From my perspective iam saying that the child should be confident to tell any thing to their parents like a friend. For getting that confident the parents should be friendly to their child . one day your child will make a mistake or a bad choice and run to you instead of away from you and in that moment you will know the value of peaceful, positive, respectful parenting

[@juliarachelvarghese]

True.... Other wise they won't tell u anything out of fear, if u be too strict with them and show too much authority...

[@gauthamkrishna8919]

He already said not too strict or not too close ..and he added if his child has a problem he comes first to him to tell it..That is the distance basically needed .Not being too strict.He is talking based on brains reward system parenting or scientific parenting.what if we didn't keep a distance is that our children get to adapt and understand that this trick will get our parent into our hands and we don't want that.They have to only see us as parents and not to be tricked ...

[@infinitegrace506]

It's not about distancing that he was talking, but the importance of teaching the kid about maintaining boundaries in life.

[@vijayjoseph2670]

True man.. I was really worried by his 4th episode.. A dangerous mix of science and religion

[@mariak5582]

He is not talking abt toxic parenting!!.i assume he is alking abt fear that comes from respect .. Its like our cricketers would follow sachin guidance not bcz of fear bt for his wisdom knowledge and respect..

[@ashgrathom]

Crossing boundaries is wrong. Husbands do it. Wives do it. Kids do it. Parents do it. He is absolutely right about keeping a respectful distance from all and giving space. Its number one in healthy relationships.

Doctor പറഞ്ഞത് ഒരു പരിധിവരെ ok ആണ് ഏകദേശം13 വയസ്സ് വരെ.അത് കഴിഞ്ഞാൽ friendly ആയി കാര്യങ്ങൾ പഠിപ്പിക്കുന്നതാണ് നല്ലത്.ഞാൻ അമ്മയില്ലാതെ വളർന്നതാണ്..പക്ഷേ അച്ഛൻ്റെ സ്നേഹം അറിഞ്ഞു വളരാനും കഴിഞ്ഞിട്ടില്ല.അതൊരു വലിയ സങ്കടം ആയി ഇന്നും ഉള്ളിലുണ്ട്.അതുകൊണ്ട് എൻ്റെ parenting നേരെ തിരിച്ചാണ്.പിന്നെ സാർ പറഞ്ഞത് പരെൻ്റിങ്ങിൻ്റെ pbm ആണ് ഇന്ന് കാണുന്ന ഡ്രഗ്സ് ഉപയോഗം എന്ന്.വിലയിരുത്തൽ തികച്ചും തെറ്റാണ്.കാരണം അന്നും ഡ്രഗ്സ് ഉണ്ട് ഇന്നും ഉണ്ട്.പക്ഷേ ലഭ്യത ഇന്ന് വളരെ കൂടുതൽ ആണ്.അതിൻ്റെ കാരണം parenting അല്ല.

[@jomyjose9400]

I m glad that I am not wrong, though many criticised my parenting style….. I am a modern Mom with authoritative parenting styles…. I am proud of my kids ❤

[@priyasreekumar96]

Absolutely love your show and can understand why Dhanya has to post every part of an interview as a host, but this message on parenting is very dangerous on so many levels. It is also a very good example on how expertise and degree can fall flat when you try to explain parenting as also a science, but by mixing it with religious views. They do not go well together. When I was 8 years old or so, my Mother once sat me down for a haircut. The lower portion of one of my ears was cut accidentally by her and she didn't realise it. I saw the portion of my ear with the hair too and I was in pain, but I didn't cry or scream because I was scared of her and she was always very authoritative as a parent. I cried when I was being bathed after the hair cut. She asked me what happened, and I told her that my ear was being cut. I remember my cousins laughing a lot by saying that I didn't make any noise because I was scared later on. But if you ask me today why I didn't cry loudly, I'll tell you because I didn't feel safe and was scared of her. This is what authoritative parenting does to many children, especially when parents follow one formula for all children without understanding their emotional bandwidth or sensitivity. Many parents also do not understand what the limit of any style is. They just simply believe that being harsh on children is the only way. Unlike authoritative parenting, why conscious parenting where parents become aware of their ego and respond to children's needs in a healthy way is looked upon is because parents are evolving and aware too. My mother was never a parental figure I liked until a few years ago, when many people confronted her that her method was wrong and that it took a toll on me for years, and the minute she acknowledged it, our relationship changed. The only reason I think I was ever able to forgive her for all those years was because she was willing to understand that it was the wrong way to go about it. And yes, as ironic as it can seem, my mother is a psychiatric nursing professional too, like this doctor. She has worked abroad and treated patients too, and is now a professor who teaches psychiatric nursing. Sometimes, some stories come packed with the greatest ironies. Let's wish for psychatrists also to understand that sometimes the first heartbreak of a child comes from their parents, which they carry for years and affect them in things and ways they cannot even understand. Now, before I get any response for this, I'll tell you something- I love my mother and she has done a lot of right things for me as a child the way she knew. Just like all of us, she has also failed, because she believed in one formula. But she was willing to unlearn too. And that makes her forgivable and loveable. I could also understand why she always had to be such a figure too. So that made it easy for me too, to let things go. We're good. 😊

[@JJ-gn1is]

If what you have written is correct I totally sympathise and agree with you 😢😢 for many cases the source of trauma could be their own parents, unfortunately. It also depends on the child’s basic character, some are rebels who don’t care and opposes such parental behaviours and some kids are fearful and obedient/submissive who usually ends up in such trauma. I often feel the ‘understanding’ factor is much less in older generation compared to ours. They might be blaming their parents. Anyways world is changing and we are in a better place for these issues. And I think the parenting style cannot be generalised, it need to be adapted to type of child you have got, with some kids we can’t be friends/lenient, they could end up really taking advantage of your kind behaviour and end up even beating the parents as the doctor has told from his psychiatric experiences, yet there are other kids who need to be treated gently so a too authoritarian behaviour from parents could end up being a cause for their trauma/less confident attitude.

[@smithanimom]

I totally empathise with you on your childhood experience.. I totally believe that a persons childhood moulds them.....i totally agree on conscious parenting and not authoritative parenting. At the end of the day they are your own children your flesh and blood ..loving them and creating a conducive environment where they can speak their heart out is what we need to do.

[@BinuIJK]

Authoritative parenting destroys the childs self esteem and the emotional trauma remains one's entire life....

[@ashgrathom]

Authoritative parenting is firm and kind. Its the same thing as gentle parenting. The firmness u show is the respectful distance u keep from ur kids and the kids keep from u, so that one day u dont crush ur kids boundaries and the kid dosent do it either. These are the children who will grow up to maintain a respectful distance with their spouces and bot take them granted. What u and the doctor is against is the Authoritarian style of parenting, gooogle it.

[@bijalinjose]

Dhanya mam i don't know right or wrong but i completely desagree about his statement about parenting. Waiting more insights from you❤

[@kurian_Palliyambil]

The child should respect his or her parents because of love not because of fear

[@SimV239]

Depends on how you’re communicating it to your children..if you’re being stingy, you can tell them why.. I don’t recommend being too generous with your children. Buying unnecessary stuff is not good. My husband and I have clearly explained to our child, the difference between Want and need and to think if she really needs something or she simply wants it.. Expressing love should come in the form of gentle guidances. Kids will value their parents love more, when they are lead in the right direction.

[@infinitegrace506]

Greatly appreciate your courage, Dr Philip John, you've been so brutally honest about modern day parenting.

[@infinitegrace506]

Parents തീർച്ചയായും friendly ആയിരിക്കാം അതിനർത്ഥം hostile ആകരുത് എന്നാണ് മനസ്സിലാക്കേണ്ടത്. Parents വെറും friends മാത്രമായി ഇരുന്നാൽ പോരാ അവർക്ക് പല higher duties കൂടി ചെയ്യാനുണ്ട്. Ex: കുട്ടികളുടെ safety, health സംബന്ധിച്ച കാര്യങ്ങൾ ; കാരണം അതൊക്കെ അവരുടെ മാത്രം ചുമതല ആണ്. കുട്ടികളുടെ ശരിയായ guidance പ്രത്യേകിച്ച് ചെറിയ പ്രായത്തിൽ -അത് യോഗ്യരായ,മുതിർന്ന വ്യക്തികൾ തന്നെയാണ് നിർവഹിക്കേണ്ടത്.

[@sofiaajmal4064]

I absolutely agree with Dr Philip John. One has to look at the larger picture of what he has said instead of taking words phrases out of context and commenting. Authoritative parenting is based on clear boundaries and open communication and has been proven to be an effective and balanced approach. It emphasizes support, guidance, and respect for children's developing autonomy. Countless studies have shown that children raised with this style tend to have better social, emotional, and academic outcomes.

[@sangeethvp8250]

True. That's when they get to learn healthy standards about love when they meet people from the outside world. Otherwise if they grow up with authoritative parents, they see the world also the same way. And the result will be another generation full of Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Codependent Personality Disorder children. Much more too. 😢

[@annaadem7264]

His views are correct. Everyone has their role. A parent is a parent and a friend is a friend. When we need a friend a parent cannot be that, or even a wife cannot be one. As he says children should be given a space for them. Over caring can be a problem. But I would love them unconditionally like till 4 and it does not mean to spoil them.

[@DrMarinPrince]

As a parent & physician absolutely 💯 in agreement with Dr Philip. He has deep insight. Thanks for sharing Dhanya dear. All the episodes are very good. Since our community cannot digest bitter truth many may disagree but he is in every bit making sense. Current generation parents, a good chunk are lazy & have no discipline in families. They have no sense to parenting & eventually have resulted in a current poor situation of society. He is absolutely right there is a assertive way to approaching children. He nowhere is asking to torture kids in fear.

[@ashamk1755]

The way Dr. explain about parenting was really amazing.It will guide current generation.Thank you Dhanya for introducing him to us.

Still in our 40s we are so homesick that, whenever get out of our home (we all are in different countries) we will cry and our father will tight hug with teary eyes… ❤In our family, that parenting worked well.

The role of constant, consistent, firmness in parenting to develop discipline ❤️

[@philipjohnify]

This is the Essence of judicious Parenting! Without having to punish! Many viewers simply have not listened appropriately to the conversation and the simple examples used !

[@Phoenix-od2bp]

@@philipjohnifyI have heard the whole conversation, I agree to most of what you have said and understand where it is coming from. The thing that is difficult to understand is, even if parents follow constant consistent firmness, without bribes, without consequences for bad behaviour, without timeouts how will one discipline a child, unless the child is instantly obliged to follow a firm Parent. What is the strategy to use otherwise. Would be good to know. I would never say no to my parents, never back answer them. They hardly used punishment to discipline me, but my child is not like that. She likes to test boundaries.

I totally agree with what Dr Philip says. We shouldnt misunderstand him when he says we have to maintain a distance with children, he only means we shouldn't be too liberal.We shouldn't be too much authoritative too. There should be a fine balance between the two.We must always be in a position that the kids respects us and lookup to us if they are in problem.

I agree with Dr. Philip John. The authoritative parenting style helps to develop a strong, deeply committed relationship between parent and child based on communication and mutual respect. This style is in contrast with authoritarian parenting.

[@nandinimenon8855]

I partially agree and at the same time disagree with the parenting style discussed above. 1.Parents do not own the child but they are responsible for the upbringing of a child till the child is ready to be own their own. In India, its 18 yrs but may require few more years in the current scenario. 2.Religious beliefs cannot be mixed up with parenting bcoz its subjective. 3.A parent is not a friend of course, but has to be friendly 4.In this democratic world, child should practice democracy and not autocracy. The child should develop as citizens who knows their rights, responsibilities and duties. Mutual respect is the key in relationships. Thank you🙏

Of course I agree with this statement 100%. Only a strict parent can mold a good youth, a good personality, a good character, and good manners should be acquired from the family itself.

[@namithamathew247]

Doctor's opinion on parenting is the danger of mixing religion with parenting concepts. A parent can be a friend and guide at the same time. But you should first understand what is meant by a friend. Being a friend doesn't mean overdo things for the child. His concepts are based on the concept that a parent owns a child which is not true. A child mimics what parents do, but not tend to obey what they say authoritatively.

[@hertravelstories]

Exactly 💯💯💯

[@namithamathew247]

Though you don't explicitly say it, its obvious.And also, Kuttikal physically strong aayal avar thirich thallan sadhyatha ullath kondalla, avare physically punish cheyathirikandath. Physical abuse to anyone is not right, it comes from the fact that the other person is not physically strong enough, be it a child/man/woman. Wisdom is when you can guide them right. Say for, ex: parents spending whole day on phone and asking the child to not use phone is a contradictory scenario in the child's perspective and the child will not avoid phone at all. I think you have a misconception on being a friend to a child. Success of a parent is when they can be a role model to the child. Not when they can be superior. Comparing 'being a parent' to 'being a superior person' is not right. Though what you are trying to say is with the intention of raising a child right, you should closely watch people of older generation who is instilled with lot of traumas, behaviorual problems, short temperdness etc. Due to poor parenting.

He was basically saying that non authoritative parenting is what ruined the family structure in kerala and pushing children to bad behaviour. In my point of view and the various examples i have seen, i strongly think that 'authoritative parenting' is what ruins the family. Of course boundaries are needed in every relationships but authoritative parenting leads children to disobey and dislike their parents which will lead to a constant urge of not doing what they say regardless its positive or negative, ending them up in miserable situations.

Dear Dhanya ma'am,sorry to say that this interview doesn't contribute any positivity to the parenting needs of our society!As a parent and a teacher,I completely disagree with his views.Love is to express...Childhood security feeling is much related to that expression of love that parents express towards their children and vice versa.If a child is given love and democratic treatment at home,he or she will be a very successful person who is in the right path by all means.

[@raji.r]

Constant consistent firmness without punishment - Agree with that.I see many families where grandparents or relatives contradics parents ways.If parents wont meet the child's demands grandparents or unmarried uncles or aunts does.I disagree with that.Over caring can cause selfishnesh. But, its hard to understand why love should not be expressed to ones' children. Wouldnt that cause a sense of abandonment, neediness etc ?I am not a parent, but from what I seen, when parents create a healthy nurturing/loving(even pampering the child) environment, without "helicopter parenting", physical/verbal/emotional abuse, it creates the environment for the growth of a decent happy human being. The child should feel safe to talk to them about anything.Parents on the other hand should not dump their emotional baggage on children.

[@SuvarnaKrishnamoorthy]

What he said is so true about parenting! Can’t agree more. Keeping consistent behavior, firmness, beautiful distance especially at the younger age below 10, is a must. It doesn’t mean parents don’t show love. As a resident in US for past 16 years, only giving what they want out of ‘love’ is dangerous. As a mother, of two boys, didn’t understand this before when my husband say this exact same thing. Now I can relate 100%. 🙏

I am back to the channel after a long time to listen to this interview. It was a meaningful discussion. His idea of parenting makes a lot of sense, except most people have no idea how to implement it in real life situations. Also, one of the parents or the grand parents not understanding this idea of parenting can jeopardise the whole situation. Awareness is required before marriage about marriage, parenting, relationships, struggles and life in general, add the stress levels involved in today's world to the mix. We have a long way to go. Thanks Dhanya.

I absolutely agree with Doctor on his insights about parenting. As discipline and resilience are the key factors that should nurtured through parenting, how a friend -parent can bring it up? Love is not just providing but denying also❤

[@tinmintales5584]

I respectfully agree to disagree to almost everything he's saying here... If parents won't express their love towards their own kids then who's supposed to?? Has he heard of nuclear families?? What are kids in such families supposed to do? Whom should they turn to for their emotional needs? He's practically asking parents to be robots who are programmed to only provide the superficial needs of their kids and bring them up in fear and with low self esteem by dictating and forcing their terms onto their kids. Throughout all 5 parts of this interview I felt like he's desperately crying out for help financially and mentally. I don't think he has recovered entirely from his trauma. One of the main reasons why people are afraid to go to psychiatrists are because they are selfishly into money making business with no regards whatsoever for the patient's or their family's situation. I have personally had bad experiences with psychiatrists. The ones that he's talking about are maybe only in his dreams. Psychotherapy is as important as psychiatry. No doubts about that. You can't say psychotherapy is bad or talk so low about it. It shows even more desperation to attract more people into psychiatry so that they can make money.

Excellent parenting advice , but seems extremely tough act to follow at present environment ,to be honest most parents are weak in this territory

[@Phoenix-od2bp]

I am not a psychologist but a parent and feel the doctor has some regressive ideas(I concur to most of what he said) about parenting. I would rather follow a Dr Gabor Mate than heed to Dr Philip’s approach to parenting. Psychiatrist have been wrong in the past, time will tell how much of what is trusted now is proven wrong in the future. Edit : Going through the interview once gain, I might have got authoritarian vs authoritative parenting which Dr Philip is advocating mixed up. But still it would have been good to have some insights on how to do this. Apologies Dr Philip for misunderstanding what you said.

[@ashgrathom]

The doctor is talking about being an Authoritative parent and not Authoritarian parent or a friend. An authoritative parent is firm and kind. In this parenting style, the parents are nurturing, responsive, and supportive, yet set firm limits for their children. They attempt to control children's behavior by explaining rules, discussing, and reasoning. They listen to a child's viewpoint but don't always accept it. And thats fine. Kids need to respect parents boundaries. And parents need to respect kids boundaries. Else destruction ensues. What one needs to be careful of is Authoritartian parenting. Authoritarian parenting is a strict style of parenting that places high expectations on children. Authoritarian parents set rigid rules with no explanation, and expect their children to obey them without question or face severe punishment.

[@sukanyavenugopal2376]

Not an expert of psychiatry, but as a listener, I was getting agitated listening to what the doctor was saying at the beginning of the conversation because of the tone used I guess. Towards the end there was a lot of clarity to what was being and my agitation died down but again, I think this idea that there has to be a hierarchy for a family to function is not something I agree with at all. I’ve not seen very pleasant outcomes from any of these hierarchical institutions. Also, in the doctor’s narrative the humanity and compassion of a child is utterly undermined and not even discussed. If a parent is not a power wielding force and has the ability to explain the emotion or logic behind what they are saying, a child has the ability to comprehend what is being told. I’ve seen children understand things much better if the parent takes time to calmly explain to them the essence of their statement/advice and have conversations with a child without seeing them as some lesser beings just because they are young. So, yes, respect parents, but respect a child also, and it is so possible to do this without distancing yourself from your little ones. In today’s world I hope the aim is not to create more and more malfunctioning hierarchical structures but to inculcate the feeling of compassion and kindness in everyone, especially in children in whom it is an inherent human trait.

😢 True. I was shocked to hear that. So toxic.

[@Geonik360]

We cant make much changes in our own styles of parenting .. honest truth

[@JJ-gn1is]

Thanks for this much needed series!🫰🫰In many cases the source of trauma could be their own parents, unfortunately 😢😢It also depends on the child’s basic character, some are rebels who don’t care and opposes harsh parental behaviours and some kids are fearful and obedient/submissive who usually ends up in such trauma. I often feel the ‘understanding’ factor is much less in older generation compared to ours. They might be blaming their parents. Anyways world is changing and we are in a better place for these issues. And I think the parenting style cannot be generalised, it need to be adapted to type of child you have got, with some kids we can’t be friends/lenient, they could end up really taking advantage of your kind behaviour and end up even beating the parents as the doctor has told from his psychiatric experiences, yet there are other kids who need to be treated gently so a too authoritarian behaviour from parents could end up being a cause for their traumatic/less confident attitude. Firm yet approachable for anything could be the parenting style.

[@ahsanaashik2818]

Ummichi had no idea about any specific parenting style, but she ensured all this... its really surprising... I am 29 now. My mother became a friend of mine only after 24. Thats what made us disciplined, independent, strong and bold. And not expressing love ... I am not agreeing with that.

His disdern for other treatment modalities is really disappointing. Therapy works wonders! Not every problem needs medication. Some do, absolutely! ADHD does need medication if it is hindering a person's functioning. But therapy also helps a LOT in managing compulsive behavious, setting plans etc. 100% agree that pharmacological intervention in required in certain cases, but to belittle the effect of therapy and other treatment modalities is such lack of wisdom. PS: throw away all the 'olakkas' when it comes to parenting.

[@jasminhabeeb]

I agree with Dr. Kids these days are not kids anymore. They are spoilt and rotten monsters. Kids today are not innocent anymore. I was always surprised at the way my parents raised us. If dad said no to something, we could never get a yes from mom and vice versa even if they didn't know what their decisions were. They were a team. Because of that, we disagreed with them when we were kids. But after we grew up, we have become fine human beings, learnt how to communicate, we know each others problems. Now we hear from rest of the family and our parent's friends, we are jealous of how you look after your parents, our kids dont listen to our problems or even care.. I feel proud of my parents. They are an amazing team as parents. All those cousins who were given all the luxuries in life turned out to be indifferent to their parents...

Parents you should take care of your childen. Donot allow third part for that. Grandparents also have part.From his words you should know no body is perfect. He has no idea he thinks he is rotating earth he is very prejudice. So better make children learn humanity. He is talking like emotionless computer. He doesn't have feelings. So when we think our children are bit different try take of them ourselves and go to a doctor who listen us. Only mother know about a child try to access your child. For not listening in class may not be your child's mistake, child has some other interest these doctors only give medicine not solution. After an age because of sideeffect of medicine they will have suicidal tendency. Think and choose right path.
