Children need more than just parents to grow: Kajol on why she she sent her daughter to a boarding school

For many parents, sending a child to boarding school is not an easy decision. It's an emotional one. Will they miss home too much? Will they feel lonely? Or will living away from family actually make them stronger, more independent, and better prepared for life? Bollywood actor Kajol seems to have a clear answer.In an old interview with The Lallantop, the actor spoke about why she strongly believes boarding schools can be good for children. She even revealed that she had already sent her daughter to boarding school, and hopes to do the same for her son. Her reasons had nothing to do with better grades or strict discipline. They came from a simple parenting belief, one about raising children who are independent, grounded, and responsible.
