RELATED STORIES
Kristen revealed that her eldest recently asked about sex!
This probably goes without saying, because at this point it should be common knowledge. But Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are the *ultimate* couple and parenting goals.
And their transparency on social media makes them as likable as they are relatable — which is very .
But above all else, when it comes to their quirky parenting style, they always keep it real with their fans.
In case you didn’t already know, Dax and Kristen have two daughters, Lincoln, seven, and Delta, five, and they’ve never been shy about sharing tidbits of parenting advice every now and then as they figure things out themselves!
While they’ve managed to protect their daughters’ anonymity by not posting their faces on social media, they have still been candid in sharing relatable parenting moments with their fans.
Like the time Dax and Kristen revealed on The Ellen Show that their eldest daughter, Lincoln, asked the question that all parents dread :
“Where do babies come from?”
Instead of sugar coating it, Kristen and Dax broached the sex talk by explaining it scientifically and using plain language.
“We went through the anatomy: penis, vagina, ovum, sperm. We’re laying it all out,” Dax said .
They certainly curbed their daughter’s curiosity, because she was so bored that she up and left the room mid-conversation.
I am so jealous that children get to do that and get away with it!
“We bored her to death,” said Kristen. But hey, at least they were honest.
Or the time Kristen confessed that she and Dax lock their five-year-old in her bedroom when it’s time for bed, and let her fall asleep on her own.
“I’m sorry, I know that’s controversial, but we lock it when she gets in there, and we stand outside and say, ‘We love you, we will talk to you in the morning, but now, it’s time for sleep,'” Kristen said .
“And after about 10 minutes, she’ll wind herself down. And then, before we go to bed, obviously, we unlock it.”
Or the time back in December, Kristen revealed that she and Dax have needed to have a discussion with one of their daughters about the use of swear words.
In the past, they’ve mentioned that they don’t exactly censor themselves at home. “We don’t limit ourselves as much as we should at home,” Kristen said.
“The way we explain it is, ‘Look, you’re 5 years old. You can’t drive my car. You can’t vote. You can’t drink alcohol. You can’t swear.’ So far, they’ve obliged .”
Or the time Kristen shared a photo of her daughter Lincoln’s “first essay”.
“Trying to get my 1st grader to write her first opinion essay,” Kristen wrote on Instagram, explaining the photo of her daughter’s project .
“And was quite impressed with the topic she chose as she presented her grid with opinion and evidence,” she wrote alongside this photo.
“Touche my young lass. Touche. (The bottom says “Stern Voice”)”.
Can we just take in that her daughter wrote “doesn’t believe in me”. That cuts deep…
Anyways, this time Kristen and Dax revealed that Lincoln has inquired about sex.
Kristen explained the story in a recent interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert .
“We tried to steal away for a hike the other day,” she said .
“My sister was here watching the kids. We masked up and we were like, ‘Oh, we’ll just walk down the streets.”
“‘There’s a great hike near our house,'” she added .
“And on our way out the door, my seven-year-old stood in the door and she held it open.”
“She goes, ‘Uh, are you going to do a sex ?’”
‘A sex’? How precious.
“It caught us by surprise,” she admitted.
“We’ve talked to her about what sex is, but she’s never, we’ve never talked about us doing it.”
And I’ll be she’ll wish she never asked !
“Dax just really quickly said, ‘We’d love to, but it’s illegal publicly. Bye!’ and closed the door.”
And this is why Kristen and Dax are the greatest. Ever.
