Gwyneth Paltrow recently shared insights into her children’s positive feelings about her approach to parenting.
The Goop founder discussed this during an interview with E! News.
In the conversation, she also spoke fondly about her children, Apple Martin, 20, and Moses Martin, 19.
“They are very proud of the iconoclastic approach that we have taken in the past,” she began by telling the outlet.
“Looking back, there are always things that we used to write about [at Goop] where people were like, ‘Oh my gosh, what is this?’ And now they’re so mainstream.”
For those unaware, Paltrow’s parenting philosophy has consistently involved finding a balance between strictness and freedom when raising her children with Chris Martin.
“My kids are really proud of the fact that we’re always kind of first in this space,” the stepmother to two more children with Brad Falchuk said.
“We try to always strike a balance,” she explained regarding her reasons. “For me, manners are super important. So, that was kind of the structure: manners and education. I want a lot of expression and individuality and freedom running through that structure. So, that’s kind of how we looked at it.”
And due to their upbringing, Paltrow admits, “They are definitely artist souls.”
“I do think that [a] mix of structure and art is really coming through in who they are now. They’re both academic, and yet they have these beautiful free spirits and I think they will pursue art, which I think is wonderful.”
