Novak Djokovic Discusses Parenting Tensions

Novak Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion, has shared insights into his parenting style, highlighting a significant disagreement with his wife, Jelena, regarding their children's access to mobile phones. Despite their children, nine-year-old Stefan and seven-year-old Tara, expressing frustration about not having phones like their peers, Djokovic maintains a strict stance against it, emphasizing that parenting doesn't have to follow the herd mentality. During an appearance at the Davis Cup, he expressed, 'It's not easy and this is reflected on other levels as well,' revealing the tension this causes in their parenting approach. Djokovic also takes an active role in encouraging his children's involvement in sports and a healthy lifestyle, often humorously noting that he is the more responsible parent. While he aims to instill a love for tennis, he supports any sport that keeps them active. His parenting methods, while strict, are rooted in a desire to provide quality experiences for his family.
