Celebrity moms, both locally and internationally, are looked up to not just of their physical beauty but of their ability to balance their professional work and motherhood. Here are some amazing celebrity moms with their parenting mottos:
1. Beyoncé Knowles
An interview by Anderson Cooper revealed how Beyoncé views motherhood as she works with United Nations on World Humanitarian Day. When asked about how having a seven month old daughter has changed her life, she gave a meaningful response: “…it just gives you purpose….And more than anything, all of the things I want to pass on to my child and the best way of doing that is not by preaching or telling her but showing her by example which is one of the reasons I’m here” That is indeed true, way to go B!
2. Victoria Bekham
For the famous couple, Victoria and David Bekham, family is everything. Victoria has achieved so much in her career as a member of Spice Girls and eventually her own fashion brand. As a mom, she strongly holds on to many values to pass on to her boys and princess Harper: “David and I both explain to our children what privileged lives they lead…they all understand how important it is to help others” Victoria stated in an interview she had with Grazia Daily. “We’ve always been strict with children. They have great manners- they always say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ and I think that’s important”. Victoria on her interview with ABC News. It is indeed great to see this A-lister couple to treat their family as their priority.
3. Daphne Oseña-Paez
Daphne has been known for her classic beauty and sense of style (she is also an advocate for children for UNICEF). Coming with such success in both her career and family, she lives on her life as a mother that doesn’t let kids be dependent on social media or techy gadgets. “My kids are not gadget-savvy…I chose to keep them off social media and to limit their gadget time. As a result, they are creative and outdoorsy kids”. Such a good way to raise creative children!
4. Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan
She was known locally as an actress and admired by many on how she raises her children with her husband Anthony Pangilinan. In her interview, she mentioned that many parents aim to be perfect in raising their children; however, she wanted to remind parents that it’s
not about you as a parent, but about your child too. She said that good parenting needs to work in partnership with your children as each of them is designed uniquely.
5. Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo
We have seen her grow as a great actress on screen and eventually build her own family with her equally adorable husband Ryan Agoncillo. Judy Ann has been known to be hands on when it comes to her children, in one of her interview she mentioned that it is important to have individual moments with her children as she wants to be present in all their activities as much as she can.
No parenting style is generally applicable to every child. As a parent, you have the best seat to sensitivity as to what your children need in their stage of life. These celebrities are truly amazing to have shared their parenting style; we thank all the great moms out there. 🙂
