that is because mini had to take decisions for herself and for her mother too always. So suddenly one cannot show authoritarian behavior with such a child. Such children with a own mind of themselves need to be handled differently with reasoning than just told what to do.
That's a valid point....this again adds to what I was also thinking about how this isn't a typical or 'normal' family where you can apply the usual tactics for kids...in this case, the adults in this family need to be extra tactical about how to deal with the child in the equation. But unfortunately yahaan toh adults ke hi emotional mess khatam nahin hote and only end up worsening the situation than handling it.
