Devyana is sitting in her room and using her mobile. Books and food packets are scattered around. Just then the door opens and his mother Ruby comes into the room combing her hair. It is clear from his gesture that he is late for office.

As soon as Ruby takes out clothes from the cupboard and puts them on the dressing table, Devyana's eyes fall on her saree. She immediately says, “Mumma, the same old style saree again? Wear it if you like, but it will look better if you try another blouse with it. After all, dressing sense also affects the personality. And don't worry about makeup, I will do it. You will get so much praise that you will forget going to the parlor.”

Ruby asks her to hurry up, but Devyana remains adamant. She gets busy in doing her mother's makeover. Understanding her daughter's insistence, Ruby also finally says, “Come on, do whatever you want, just do it quickly.”

Devyana gets her mother ready in no time and also books a cab for her. The feeling of her daughter growing up touches Ruby deeply. While sitting in the car, his eyes are moist, but there is a smile on his face. As if she is saying in her mind – Daughter, thank you for being a part of my life.

Now not only mothers, daughters are also teaching

There has been a lot of change in the mother-daughter relationship with time. While earlier mothers used to teach children the ways of life, today's daughters are also teaching their mothers to adapt to the new world.

This change is visible from homes to social media. In a video that went viral some time ago, a daughter was seen explaining to her mother how to order online. The mother was listening carefully to everything her daughter said and was writing step-by-step in her diary, so that next time she herself could do online shopping.

The mother's willingness to learn new things and the daughter's patience in teaching her clearly shows the change in the relationship.

Relationship becoming stronger through learning and teaching

Daughters today are helping their mothers in many small and big everyday things, from the digital world. At the same time, mothers are also learning new things from their daughters without any hesitation.

When a mother feels self-reliant by learning something new from her daughter, her happiness is no less than an achievement for the daughter too. This relationship is no longer limited to just the guidance of the mother, rather both are becoming each other's teacher and student.

Learned understanding of digital world from daughters

While narrating the childhood stories of her two daughters, Aarti tells that the nature of both of them is completely different from each other. But with increasing age, both the daughters are helping them to adapt to the new times.

Elder daughter Neha helps him in understanding the digital world, online shopping and other technical things. Younger daughter Ojaswini also explains to him many things to everyday life.

Aarti tells that when her daughters asked her to learn English, she used to ignore them at first. But on constant persuasion from his daughters, he started paying attention to the correct pronunciation and use of English. Today she is learning many things from her daughters.

Learning to keep myself light from my daughter

Kanak has two children, a son and a daughter. Praising daughter Saanvi's intelligence, she says that she knows very well how to see things in the changing times.

Kanak believes that as a mother, it is her responsibility to teach her children the difference between right and wrong. Sometimes daughters get angry with their mother's words, but with time they may understand the importance of that advice.

At the same time, Kanak herself also learns a lot from her daughter. According to him, the most important thing that Saanvi has taught him is that one should not take everything to heart. After someone has said something, thinking about it again and again is like troubling yourself.

Kanak says that when she is worried about something, Saanvi makes her understand. After following his advice they feel lighter. She believes that it is not easy to change nature, but when the daughter can understand this at an early age, then the mother can also try to bring about change in herself.

It is important to understand each other's age and era.

The mother-daughter relationship is as beautiful as it is sensitive. To keep it strong, understanding is required from both sides.

A mother should not impose her opinion on her daughter in everything. He should be given a chance to learn from his experiences and take his own life decisions. It is also important to understand that the time in which the daughter is growing up is quite different from that of the mother.

Similarly, daughters should also try to understand their mother's age, her experiences and the period in which she has lived her life.

When instead of mother and daughter changing each other understand and learn from each other If you try, this relationship becomes deeper and stronger.
