“To develop a good character, it’s important to always be going through something,” the actress says.
, parents and caregivers are likely always trying to grow and nurture their bond—including actress and mom of two Kristen Bell does it too. In fact, it’s the reason she doesn’t let her daughters have separate bedrooms.Magazine for National Sleep Awareness Month, Bell revealed it’s important to her that her daughters, Lincoln, almost 7, and Delta, 5, share a room because it helps teach them good character. “It’s very important to me that they share a bedroom.
Of course, having both kids in the same room can be a challenge when it comes to winding down for bedtime. Bell tag teams the night event with her husband, actor Dax Shepard. “Dax and I always try to put our kids to bed together. We need that man power because they are very strong-willed children and have both of our stubbornness combined,” she says. “They go to bed at 7:30, so we will go into the bedroom at 7:00 and have a Supreme Court debate about whether or not they should brush their teeth.
She goes on to explain what she likes to call “the four walls technique,” adding, “[It’s] where you have someone come to their own conclusion by asking them a series of questions that leads them to believe it is the right decision. For example, I say, ‘What’s your favorite food?’ [The kids] say, ‘Macaroni and cheese.’ ‘What do you love about it?’ ‘It’s delicious.’ ‘What does it make you feel like?’ ‘Makes me feel full.’ ‘Okay, what do you use to eat macaroni and cheese?’ ‘My teeth.
But, the actress admits that, like any good parent, some days she’s just too tired. What does she do on those days? “Sometimes I have success by going in the bedroom with them and not saying anything, just sitting down on the bed, and they will reroute themselves,” she says. “Sometimes, if I’ve had a really exhausting day, I’ll look at the clock at 6:30 and tell them that it’s 7:30. They can’t read the clock, and that is just fine with me.
