Madhu Chopra further stated that due to this practice, the kids grew up to be confident individuals who had the ability to articulate their thoughts and be self-assured. She continued, "What happened with this was they became confident, they were never scared of speaking, at least in front of their parents. Then it became a part of their nature. They became expressive".
Stating that the household was quite liberal, Madhu further added that kids also had certain limitations as she said, "Tantrums were never allowed, raised voices were never allowed, abuse was never allowed. With these things banned, they could express themselves".
