Show Notes

Clearly discipline in desi culture is DRASTICALLY different than what it might be in other cultures. Some parents are a bit more verbal with their discipline; other might be physical. In this episode, we discuss our personal experiences (were we slapped when growing up? what were our households like?) and relate these experiences to the pros and cons of desi discipline.

20:55 – [Bollywood MOVIE Reference] - We use a clip from Taare Zameen Par to show an example of desi parenting!
