Your Parents Don't Just Need Money. They Need YOU

What do our parents really need as they grow older? Is financial support enough, or do they need something we often forget to give them: our time, attention, and understanding?

In this episode of Everyday Heroes with JK, we speak with Mr. Prakash Borgaonkar, CEO of RG Care Sevak Foundation, who has spent decades working for the dignity and welfare of senior citizens. He also shares insights from his long career in elder care, including his years with HelpAge India.

This is an important conversation about ageing, loneliness, family relationships, and the responsibilities we all share toward older people.

We explore why the relationship between parents and children can become strained, especially when children move away for education or work. Financial support may be important, but meaningful communication and emotional connection matter too.

Mr. Borgaonkar also explains why parents and children need to understand each other's challenges instead of allowing expectations and misunderstandings to build up.
