Pakistani television host Nida Yasir has sparked widespread discussion after calling on parents to encourage financial independence rather than supporting their children well into adulthood.
A recent video from her television appearance has gone viral on social media, where she spoke about what she described as a growing trend of parents continuing to financially support their adult children, even after marriage.
According to Nida, many families continue providing financial assistance to sons in their 40s who are not yet financially stable. She questioned this approach and suggested that parents should instead help their children become capable of supporting themselves.
While discussing the issue, she compared Pakistani society with Western countries, where many teenagers begin part-time work during their school years and often become financially independent by adulthood. She argued that teaching responsibility from an early age can help young people build confidence and life skills.
Nida also pointed out that Pakistan faces two contrasting realities. Some children are forced to earn at an early age to support their families, while others remain dependent on their parents even after getting married. She said neither situation represents a healthy balance.
The television host stressed that parents should focus not only on education but also on preparing children for independent living. According to her, raising responsible and self-reliant adults is an important part of parenting.
