It seems that the children of the rich and famous should grow up wealthy and permissive. However, as it turns out, in some well-known families, children are raised much more strictly than in ordinary ones. Categorical prohibitions and strict rules of conduct should instill refined manners and education in these stellar offspring. So meet: famous parents who can hardly be accused of being too soft.

Victoria and David Beckham

The former "Perchinka" and the ladies' man-football player are trying to make their children model British ladies and gentlemen. Their four offspring, it seems, never got into scandalous stories, and in a decent society they always showed excellent manners. However, why surprise - Victoria Adams was born into a wealthy family and received a good education. She transferred strict moral values to her family: she even sent her son Brooklyn to the first date with her father. Now the "elder" has grown up and has already started a family. His chosen one was the daughter of billionaire and industrialist Nikola Peltz.

Madonna

The mother of six children, who in previous years was famous for very frivolous behavior, also keeps her wards in “iron fist”. The author of a book called "Sex", for example, forbade her eldest daughter until the age of 18 to even think about meeting with representatives of the opposite sex. Also, in the house of a Puritan lady, there is a whole list of prohibitions, the violation of which entails severe punishments. It is forbidden to watch TV, read some magazines, and fast food dishes are completely excluded from the diet of children. Although it is difficult to disagree with some rules: for example, the stars teach children to clean up things after themselves: any part of the wardrobe or toys lying on the floor are immediately sent to the trash bin.

Cate blanchett

In an interview with reporters, the Oscar-winning actress admitted that sometimes she has to play the "bad cop" with her family. The star and mother were convinced from their own experience that keeping four children in check is not so easy. “You shouldn't try to please children, because it’s like walking on unsteady ice,” Kate and her husband Andrew Upton give advice to aspiring parents. “Better to be a good mother, and only then a friend,” she advises.

Denzel and Pauletta Washington

The greatest actor of the XXI century according to the newspaper The New York Times and twice winner of the "Oscar" by his own example showed how to perfectly combine a career and raising children. First, he himself is a deeply religious person and believes that his profession helps him preach through his heroes. He begins every day with prayer and teaches his children to be responsible before God and people for their actions.

And secondly, in his family, children from an early age are taught to respect the elders and take care of the younger ones. Parents should be addressed by younger family members with the prefix sir and ma'am. Now the children of the actor are already adults. The eldest of them became a famous American football player. Considering that even while under the scrutiny of journalists, they were not noticed in anything reprehensible, let's say that Denzel Washington is an excellent father.

Jessica Alba

Jessica has two girls, and you can imagine what the house can turn into when these two nimble princesses get loose. However, my mother is adamant: "Into the corner!"Yes, yes, and this beauty can be a strict mother. And she also believes that children should be taught from a young age to treat things with reasonable economy. So when girls get bored with toys, they give them to those in need. They also try not to litter the wardrobe with the next elegant blouses and dresses. Jessica is actively involved in charity work and inspires her daughters that there are many needy families in the world. “After all, we can get by with less, and there are children who are deprived of even the minimum,” she tells them.

Gwyneth Paltrow

The actress became famous not only for her roles in films, but also as a specialist in a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, her children are on a low-carb diet and do not consume foods containing gluten at all. Perhaps, you can survive the lack of pasta and bread. But what about childhood without ice cream and cakes? But her children's nanny is not just with a good education, but a real master-all-rounder: she perfectly knows two languages, plays two musical instruments, plays tennis and has experience in sailing.

Therefore, even children watch cartoons not in their native English, but in French or Spanish. Tennis is also not without reason - mom welcomes in every possible way when children spend several hours in the fresh air, gaining important vitamin D. And Gwyneth also admitted that her children were the last in the class who acquired mobile phones.

Jennifer Lopez

The harsh truth of life is what this superstar's upbringing is all about. Jennifer has long ceased to believe in fairy tales, so she does not tell her girls "the story that the prince came and saved the princess." Well, and his son, on his own and the example of Alex Rodriguez, shows that nothing in life is given just like that - it is incredible hard work that makes a person successful. To play with friends, watch TV or use gadgets on weekends, the twins must do their best. So, children need to bring home good grades and not be naughty.

Megan Fox

This Hollywood star plays teenage heroines (or do you think Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are adult movies?), Even though their kids are not allowed to watch TV. Tablets, video games and the use of the Internet in general are also completely banned. All entertainment - only with my mother's consent and in a strictly limited time period. Megan, who are you studying for then?

Julia Roberts

Two teenage sons and a daughter are raising Julia Roberts. Or vice versa? In any case, the star believes that children make her life more fun. However, after filming the drama "Bring Ben Back" about the relationship between a mother and a teenage drug addict, she introduced several restrictions for her children. Thus, children are prohibited from watching certain television programs, some films. In addition, boys and their sister shouldn't be wasting time on social media.

Instead, the house encourages family communication, evenings for discussing interesting topics or just picnics with the whole family. Julia and her husband Daniel Moder also introduced clear boundaries of what can and cannot be done. And even if for now, perhaps, these measures are too strict, they will act temporarily - until the guys grow up and themselves can not understand what is good and what is bad. Well, and a severe punishment is many hours of educational conversation, which, you see, for some is worse than strict measures.
