Eva Mendes sheds light on her daughters’ ‘extreme’ parenting style
Eva Mendes recently showed off her strict parenting style, which may sound extreme to some.
In an interview with The Times, Mendes opened up about her extreme parenting style for her two daughters, 10-year-old Esmeralda and 8-year-old Amada.
She began like this. “When you put your child on the Internet and say, ‘Oh, search for something,’ to me, you’re saying to her, ‘Oh, walk down the street in the middle of the night. You’ll do that.’ It’s the same as “I hope you’re doing well.” ”
“It may sound extreme, but that’s how I feel,” the Ghost Rider star added.
Meanwhile, Mendez, who homeschools her daughters, recalled the dark days of her and her husband’s childhood.
“I explained to them what I didn’t have, what I didn’t have when Ryan was little, how hard we had to work, the dark days of living paycheck to paycheck. But they never understand. You don’t know until you experience it,” the Hollywood star told the magazine.
The actress, who plays Hitch, also emphasized that she struggles with anxiety, saying, “I still have anxiety, and I think that’s passed on to my kids.” .
Finally, she said: “According to Dr. (Daniel) Amen (author of Raising Mentally Strong Children), the next best thing (to broaden horizons) is to encourage children to learn about themselves by doing the following: It’s about making them really try to build up their self-esteem.” Things like doing work around the house. ”
It’s pertinent to mention that Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling started dating while filming The Place Beyond the Pines in 2011 and secretly tied the knot in 2022.
