Urban parents in Nepal need to learn to say no to their children’s unnecessary demands

Suja Koirala of Kapan in Kathmandu has only one daughter. Like most urban parents in Nepal, she supports her in all of her endeavours.

“We faced so much suffering and poverty during our time. I have only one daughter and I believe she should enjoy her life and get whatever she wants without any suffering and pain that we faced. We have tried to keep her happy even by hiding our problems.”
