Madhoo's parenting tips

Actress Madhoo, a mother to daughters Ameyaa and Keia, is in favour of providing children freedom in their growing years.

"The way we treat our children, I feel we don't allow them to grow. We should give them full freedom. If they have any talent, any inclination or any interest, it should be encouraged," the 40 yea old said here.

She spoke at the launch Wednesday of the book "Heirs of Catriona", written by a 12 year old Anusha Subramanian.

"Heirs of Catriona" is the first of the four book Catriona Series. Singer Suchitra Krishnamurthy was also present at the event.
