Kristen Bell wants to empower her daughters as they get older so has sent them to a preschool that encourages ''emotional learning.''
Kristen Bell sent her daughters to a school that teaches them ''emotional learning.''
The 37-year-old actress wants to empower Lincoln, four, and Delta, three, whom she has with her husband Dax Shepard, to stand up for themselves and strive to be the best they can in life so she sent them to a nursery that focuses on emotional health.
She explained: ''When the kids get physical with each other -- which they do because they're all feral at this point -- they teach them to say things like: 'I don't like it when you touch my body like that.' They say that to me: 'I don't like having my hair touched.' ''
The 'A Bad Moms Christmas' star also poses questions when she's reading them stories at bedtime about the princess falling in love with the prince after one kiss.
Speaking to Us Magazine, she said: ''I see a lot of books my daughters are given. And it's all about the prince wanting to marry the princess and all he does is kiss her and she says 'Yes!'
''I say, 'I wonder why he didn't get to know her? I wonder why he didn't ask her whether she wanted to marry him?'
''It's a really tiny change, but I'm definitely working toward empowering them.''
And the blonde beauty recently revealed she has cut down on using the phrase 'it's OK' around her brood, because she thinks it ''shuts down'' their ability to express.
She explained: ''I do really like reevaluating how much we say to them, 'It's OK,' because it weirdly shuts down their ability to have emotions. Because they think, 'It's OK. I shouldn't be embarrassed. I shouldn't be sad.' So now when they get sad or embarrassed, I say, 'That's a stinky feeling, huh? I've felt it, too.' I just let them experience it, and hopefully it'll make healthy adults ... The one finger rule was something I really enjoyed. They said, 'Let your toddler experience things.' Like, 'I wanna touch that vase!' Rather than always saying, 'No,' you say, 'Let's do it! Let's do one finger.' So, my toddlers go around and touch everything with one finger.''
