Hey there! If you think Julia Roberts is all about glitz and glamour, let me tell you, she’s got a whole other side when it comes to raising her kids. The Academy Award-winning actress has opened up about her parenting style, and it’s pretty fascinating. As a mom of three, Julia keeps a close eye on how much time her children spend in front of screens. She doesn’t want them exposed to the complexities of the world too early, and she’s super intentional about it.

Julia Roberts: A Thoughtful Mom in a Digital Age

Julia, mom to twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, who are 14, and son Henry, 11, shared her thoughts on parenting in today’s tech-driven world. “I have three young children, so I’m extremely cautious when it comes to turning on the TV,” she explained. “It’s quite a challenge raising kids these days because everything is so new—the pressures, the resources, and having the entire world at their fingertips.” It’s clear that Julia wants her kids to grow up in a balanced environment where they experience life beyond what a screen can offer.

Keeping Kids Off Social Media

Julia, who’s now 51, takes her role as a parent seriously. She actively tries to keep her kids off social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram because, honestly, why would they need that at their age? “I try to keep them off social media because I don’t see the point of it for them right now,” she said. It’s clear that Julia wants her children to focus on real-life experiences rather than virtual ones. Her kids, with husband Daniel Moder, might not even fully grasp how famous their parents are, and that’s exactly how Julia prefers it.

“It was like, ‘You’re famous?’” Julia once recalled during an interview with Harper’s Bazaar. “I just said, ‘A lot of people might know who I am.’ Then maybe an hour goes by, and they ask, ‘Are you more famous than Taylor Swift?’” Isn’t that just adorable? Julia’s kids seem to be living a pretty normal life, which is exactly what she wants for them.

Raising Normal Kids Amid Fame

Even though her kids might not fully understand the extent of her fame, Julia doesn’t feel the need to explain it all to them. “They’re not spoiled or entitled, and she makes a real effort to keep their lives as normal as possible to avoid that,” a close friend told Closer Weekly about the actress’ family. Julia’s parenting style is all about balance and ensuring her kids grow up with a sense of normalcy.

Since becoming a mom, Julia has turned down a few movie roles. But this decision has allowed her to set an amazing example for her daughter Hazel. “Julia wants to show Hazel that she can pursue whatever she wants in life,” the friend shared. “She doesn’t want Hazel to feel limited by being a woman.” It’s inspiring to see Julia using her influence to empower the next generation.
