Harsh discipline no longer best way to educate children, says Rita Rudaini

Actress Rita Rudaini believes that the era of harsh discipline for teenagers is over. The 50-year-old emphasized that today's youth require guidance and positive role models rather than the ego of their elders.

"Teenagers today are not that they cannot be corrected by others. They just no longer accept corrections that come with ego, scolding, and humiliation," Rudaini explained in a Threads comment. She stressed that while assertiveness is necessary in raising them, mutual respect remains paramount.

Rudaini noted that educating the current generation of young people is not about who can be the most aggressive or firm. "Children actually don't need adults who always want to be right. They instead need adults who can guide and listen. Moreover, they want us to show the right example," she added.

The "Mami Jarum" film actress further stated that forceful approaches are ineffective as they only breed rebellion. "Many teenagers today will act out when they are forced. But they will listen well when they feel respected," she said.

Rita Rudaini has two sons from a previous marriage, Airit Rayyan Rizqin and Airit Qaqa Qaiseer.
