Hilary has two kids, although Banks who is just under two years old, obviously doesn't have to worry about going to school just yet. Hilary's son, Luca, who's 8 years old, does.

Hilary recently talked about how the pandemic is affecting school for her children.

Hilary expressed that they weren't sure if Luca was going to go back to school in-person yet.

"Luca goes to private school, and we're just waiting to see what happens," Hilary told PEOPLE. "For his emotional well-being, I think it would be great if he could go back to school, but also it depends on what that looks like."

"If it's just strictly learning and no social interaction…"

"I guess I would let him make the choice," Hilary concluded. "If he was going and it was super sterile and it wasn't benefiting him [in a social way], I would be up for remote learning again."

It's definitely unique to let your child decide if they feel safe going back to school!
