Having kids is quite challenging. But, Angelina Jolie seems to enjoy having six of them despite challenges and other hurdles that she and her family may face along the way.
As per the actress, she's raising "strong children" who are free and bold. For a woman who is doing a lot of things, including raising kids and being "soft" all at once is a right.
Alongside the power and right of being a woman, Angelina Jolie also shared a few details on her parenting style. Based on her interview with Harper's Bazaar, her small acts or gestures to help the planet include the education of her kids.
The actress explained that it's not easy to have and raise six children. So, she tries her best to inform, educate, and teach them to understand how "things are affected." This is why her kids are also very familiar with all of her advocacies and causes.
Angelina Jolie also shared that they all spend a lot of time in Cambodia and Namibia, as well as to the other parts of the globe. Accordingly, the kids can see and understand things that surround them, especially the "damage of waste" in terms of conserving the planet.
While being informed and educated is one of the things she wanted for her kids, Angelina Jolie revealed that she tries to "transmit" the value of "kindness" to them. She also shared that she tries to be a great example for them the way her mother did.
Even so, she also wanted them to understand strength amid kindness. In the end, she "hoped" that her kids would be kind enough, but, will be able to fight for themselves when the time comes.
According to Celebrity Insider, the Maleficent actress also stressed how important it is for her that her kids to have "self-expression" by means of style. This is because she deems "living freely and boldly" as having the ability to "encourage" her kids to "explore" ideas and expressions.
The "boldness" to express one's self is one of the things that she finds admirable. She further contended that it makes her "smile" to see kids express themselves and say to the world, "Here's who I am."
The actress explained, however, that having a style should not be about wearing designer clothes. Accordingly, she limits buying her kids such things as per her assertions.
In the end, Angelina Jolie went on to emphasized that, as a parent, she cannot stop her kids from experiencing pain and loss. Nevertheless, educating them to "live better through it" is one of the best things a parent can do.
