Being a parent is hard enough, I can't imagine being one in the public eye. And no, I'm not talking about Instagram mommy bloggers with a few hundred thousand followers, which Lord knows is hard enough, I'm talking about the international recognition that comes with being part of the Royal family. Being a mom plus being an international celebrity? Sounds exhasuting!
Do you know who knows that better than anyone? Kate Middleton!
We've all been the parent who's raised their voice in the cereal aisle because your toddler is screaming and crying for a box of Christmas-colored Cheerios in July — it happens.
The same thing can't be said of any major celebrity, especially someone as famous as future Queen of England — Kate Middleton.
Now, child development and parenting expert Dr. Chicot is weighing in on what Kate does when her children are throwing tantrums in public.
As you'd expect, Kate still keeps it classy and cool AF even when dealing with meltdowns.
"She gets down to their level to talk to them but lets them be children. She has a lovely balance of sensitivity and gentle boundaries," she added.
In fact, the expert reports she even has a secret code she uses when they're in public.
When telling them "Let’s take a break", she actually means "calm down" — a much more relaxed phrase.
In 2019, Princess Charlotte was seen poking her tongue out at crowds after her mother encouraged her to wave at the audience.
Instead of lashing out at the young Princess, she chuckled and talked her down from a potential meltdown.
I think these are such great points for us all to remember when parenting in public!
