Mutiara Annisa Baswedan or Tia Baswedan said that her parents, Anies Rasyid Baswedan, were always egalitarian or equal when discussing or communicating with their children.

Anies Baswedan's eldest daughter assessed that her father was humble and willing to accept opinions and criticism so that her children did not feel afraid to discuss or convey other views on matters.

"So, for example, I feel like it's going to be like this, right? I think it should be like this," said Tia in a broadcast program or podcast with ANTARA TV in Jakarta, Tuesday, January 9.

For example, Tia often conveys this opinion to express something to be questioned or discussed with Anies Baswedan.

According to him, this communication pattern often occurs every day so that what becomes a difference of opinion in responding to something always talks together between family members.

DijelaskanTia, ruang diskusi selalu diciptakan tidak hanya oleh Anies, tetapi oleh ibunya guna menyerap pendapat dalam segala hal. Dengan demikian, proses berabah pikiran menjadi sesuatu yang menyenangkan.

"Whatever it is, it is always discussed with Mama, want to be small, no matter how small it is because I also like to talk to Mama, and mom listens to my story. If I need advice, I am often given advice," said Fery Farhati's daughter.

This University of Indonesia (UI) alumnus assesses that the attitude of egalitarian or open communication is something good in a family.

In fact, this habit has become an example for him so that in the future he will also apply the same thing with his husband, Ali Saleh Alhurariby.
