In a recent interview, the actress said that she deliberately approaches her obligations “from a place of expansiveness.”
And that makes her able to avoid “panic” and “guilt” as a working mom of three kids.
As a busy parent, it’s simple to become “freaked out,” Garner said to “Access Hollywood” on Monday.
“You have 18 summers, we are continuously told. This is the time that you have. She noted that she instead “leans[s] into wherever [she] is,” observing that “time is flying,’ and it makes you fear.”
The 51-year-old “13 Going on 30” actress said she tries to be there for her and her ex-husband Ben Affleck’s three children, Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11, when they “show up” and spends time with them.
What other method has she adopted as a parenting strategy?
Patricia Ann Garner, the actress’s mother, has contributed to the “grounding” perspective of the “Alias” star.
“My mom has always said to me, ‘You’re their mom forever. Don’t worry, you can do your job. You’re their mom forever. I wish I had worked. I would have been a better mom. Your kids are going to be so proud of you,’” Jennifer recalled.
The businesswoman co-founded Once Upon a Farm in addition to her acting job, and when she takes work home, her kids enjoy to sample the goods.
“They are just like, ‘Mom, is that new innovation in the fridge? Can we try that with you?’” she said. “They have a lot of ownership over this innovation.”
Is Garner parenting her 3 kids alone?
Since their divorce in 2015, Jennifer and Affleck, 51, have been co-parenting their three children.
The actor admitted to viewers of the “Today” show in 2019 that he works “extremely hard” to be a “good dad” to Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. The actor is currently married to Jennifer Lopez.
“I’m lucky they got a great mom,” he indicated at the time. “She helps out a great deal with making sure that we co-parent in as good a way as possible.”
When reflecting on his parenting abilities four years later, Lopez started crying. The 54-year-old singer raved to Vogue about how well-gotten their relationship had become.
“They work well together,” Lopez said in November 2022 of the “amazing” exes.
