David and Patricia Arquette on parenting
From an interview with USA Weekend that came out today.
Are you raising your children the way you were raised?
DAVID: I like boundaries. We didn’t have many. I think structure is good for kids. I want to make sure Coco is very nerdy for a long time. I want her to get into building models and knitting — all those things that can occupy her time so she’s not out clubbing at 14.
PATRICIA: I’m not a great disciplinarian. But luckily Enzo didn’t really need that. I just talked him through things. David helped me a lot with understanding him. I’m going to have to reconfigure my skills for my daughter [Harlow], because she’s already like, "No, Mama. No!"
DAVID: I learned from our parents’ mistakes. Like putting my daughter on a sleep schedule. We never had that.
