Kareena Kapoor's birthday: 5 valuable parenting lessons to learn from the Bollywood diva

Kareena Kapoor Khan, a celebrated Bollywood actress, is not just known for her remarkable roles on screen but also for her refreshing take on parenting. On her birthday today, let's take a look at how she is raising her two sons, Taimur and Jehangir in today’s world while also navigating the role of a stepmother for Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan.

As she turns 44 today, 5 parenting lessons to learn from Kareena Kapoor

Here are five valuable parenting lessons we can learn from her experiences.

1) Keeps Them Grounded

Kareena believes in keeping her children humble. When recently asked if her elder son Taimur understands the fame surrounding his family, she remarked, “Right now they are too young to know these things. He has an idea because of the paparazzi chasing. I think that is why he only knows. But he keeps saying, ‘Why are they chasing? Am I famous?’ I said, ‘No you are not famous, I am famous. You are nobody, you haven’t done anything.’”?This simple yet profound response teaches Taimur the importance of humility and hard work. While he may aspire to be famous someday, right now, his passion lies in football, which is perfectly normal for his age.

2) Takes Pride in Being a Working Mother

Kareena is unapologetic about her career as a mother. She recently shared a series of pictures with the caption, "Mama’s gotta go to work… see you at the cinemas on 13th September…" This shows her pride in balancing work and motherhood. By including her children in her professional life, she sets an example that it's okay to pursue your dreams while being a parent.

3) Prioritizes Kids’ Time Even in Her Busy Life

Despite her packed schedule, Kareena makes it a point to spend quality time with her children. She celebrates festivals and goes on vacations, teaching them the importance of traditions. A recent post from Tanzania read, "SAVANNA GIRL AND BOY. TANZANIA 2024," displaying her commitment to family experiences.

During Diwali, she shared, "Year after year and still trying to get the perfect family picture...But nonetheless...Happy Diwali lovely people..from our heart to yours..." These moments highlight how essential family time is, no matter how busy life gets.

4)Celebrates Occasions with Her Stepchildren

Kareena’s warmth extends beyond her biological children to her stepchildren, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan. She actively celebrates important occasions with them, fostering a loving family dynamic. For instance, Sara ties Rakhi to both Taimur and Jehangir, showcasing the bond that Kareena has encouraged among her children. This inclusivity promotes love and acceptance within the blended family.

5) Propagates and Teaches Them Equality and Respect

In a 2023 interview, Kareena shared a touching story about teaching her children equality. Taimur once asked why their nanny sat at a different table during meals. Kareena and her husband, Saif Ali Khan, promptly addressed this by ensuring their nanny joined them. This act reinforces the values of inclusivity and respect, teaching their children that everyone deserves equal treatment, no matter their role in the household.

Kareena Kapoor Khan exemplifies modern parenting with her blend of love, humility, and inclusivity. Her lessons resonate with many modern parents, reminding us of the importance of grounding our children, and fostering a loving family environment.
