‘It’s not as safe as it was for us’: Madhu Chopra, Priyanka Chopra’s mother, discusses the challenge of parents instilling values in their children amid swift societal changes

Parenting has always posed challenges, but the complexities of the digital age have intensified these challenges. Children today contend with a distinctive challenge: amidst the unlimited information from various sources, both trustworthy and not, how do they sift through the noise to concentrate on what is genuinely important?Dr. Madhu Chopra, mother of actress Priyanka Chopra, recently discussed this change, recognizing how different the world is for younger generations. „Die Zeiten ändern sich. Everyone develops. It has to be that way. We lived in different times. Your times vary. For us, it was safer.

And, there are many more options. Information is bombarding us from a multitude of sources—some legitimate, some not; some clearly defined, others not. Thus, the children find it quite challenging to separate the noise from what is truly pertinent and necessary. Therefore, I believe it is legitimate for them to discard some of the lessons their parents taught them at this time.
