"I try to be friends with my daughters. But being friends does not mean that they should go overboard. I am a parent and I must remain so. Regardless of how sincere we are, how much we talk, laugh, and share, there are certain things they cannot use against me. Even if I make a small mistake, I would not allow them to mention it. I have advised it this way. If necessary, I will explain."
These words were said by Honored Artist Vafa Zeynalova in the "Qapqara" YouTube project. The actress talked about her twin daughters Lale and Sabine.
V. Zeynalova objected to the opinions about not imposing prohibitions on children:
"Recently, we have heard from the Turks that you should not say no to a child. It harms their psychology. I cannot accept this. A child should know and live their childhood. But appropriately. A child must know the word 'no.' A child must know what is allowed and what is not. I cannot accept if they say nothing and just destroy and mess up. There have been prohibitions for me as well. I have brought that upbringing into my home. My children had their own room; when they came from school, they ate and went to their rooms. If my friends came over and talked, they had no right to interfere with us. Now, if I’m talking with some friend, the child does not allow it. I ask, what is this? They reply, you cannot object to the child. Let them say I am outdated. A child must know their place." (axşam.az)
