Shahid Afridi’s big statement
Shahid Afridi said in a program, ‘It is a big mistake to send children to school at the age of two and a half to three years. I also made this mistake. The child should be educated at home till the age of five years. There can be no better teacher than parents. The biggest responsibility of parents is to nurture them well. Parents also make mistakes but if the child is brought up well then he eventually comes on the right track.

Advice not to give mobile phone
Shahid Afridi further said, ‘If the child cries for two minutes, we give him a mobile phone to silence him. I request every family member to keep their child away from diseases like mobile phones. Only when the child becomes capable of doing so, give him a mobile phone. After my two daughters got married, I gave them mobile phones. It is not only the mother’s job to raise the child, the father also has an equal role, so he should also pay attention to his children.
