Offering parenting advice, she emphasized treating children with respect and maturity. “Don’t underestimate your kids. The way you communicate with their dad shapes their perception… Choose your battles wisely. Speak to them as adults,” she advised.
Regarding co-parenting, she stressed the importance of maintaining a level head and avoiding ego clashes. “We sometimes let our egos interfere. I don’t even know if my baby daddy is dating or not. As long as my son is thriving and content, that’s all that matters. Continuous communication is key,” she emphasized.
