Kate Middleton: I love doing papier mache with my children
Kate Middleton is a busy mum of three to children Princess Charlotte and Princes Louis and George. The Duchess of Cambridge, 37, often juggles parenthood with royal visits, galas and charity events. While Kate and husband Prince William, 36, the Queen’s grandson, often keep family life relatively secret, one of their parenting techniques has now been revealed. It seems Les Miserables actress, Anne Hathaway, has drawn inspiration from the total couple for her own life at home.
Speaking of the couple’s style of parenting Anne, who is mum to one son Jonathan, let slip a secret.
She told The Sunday Times: "They get down on the child's level and speak to them eye to eye to make their child feel empowered,
"I thought that was really cool.
“I started doing that with Jonathan."
Meanwhile, Kate and William, have spoken openly about keeping their three children safe from the potential dangers of the internet.
They discussed the parenting dilemma as they stepped out for an engagement at the BBC to mark Anti-Bullying Week.
The Duke of Cambridge admitted working out a balance for online time was “quite difficult”.
William said: “We still haven’t worked out what the right balance is for online time.
“It’s quite difficult, it’s still a very fluid dynamic.
“We’re going to have that discussion with our family, how on earth are we going to police and have family time when the phones are all put down and you’re offline?
“Because we’re all so connected now that we’ve got to say, ‘right, for instance, we’re eating now’.”
And William questioned how other parents tackle the issue.
William said: “This generation are going to be the first generation to grow up fully immersed in mobile phones, social media, lots of stuff.
“And yet our generation, the older generation, the parent generation, we’re completely left at, ‘how do we deal with this? Where do we go to?
“Where do you learn about how to look after your children’s digital world?’”
