Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are already #couplegoals, but once they became parents to their adorable daughters, Lincoln and Delta, they also became #parentgoals.
That's because this famous duo has so many clever parenting hacks that make lives so much easier.
The Bad Moms actress told Us Weekly: "One thing I’ve learned as a mom is it’s really important to monitor when they are able to receive your information.
Basically, they don't negotiate with terrorists children.
These famous parents focus a ton on teaching their kids the basics of R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
"We are going to be with each other in the long haul, so it’s important to always be respectful and treat your sister the way you want to be treated," Bell said.
As working actors, Dax and Kristen's busy schedules make them miss actual birthdays sometimes.
And it's something all working parents might want to steal! So long as the kids are young and clueless.
“They don’t know," she said during an appearance on the Today show.
This is a brilliant parenting hack a lot of people might want to grab.
"So if she wants to touch a vase that I know she shouldn’t, I say, ‘Oh, I want to touch it too. Let’s use one finger!’" she said.
The reason why? “It makes them feel like they have a little bit of a choice."
These parents won't accept one-word answers from their kids when asked about their day.
"They understand that it's not just an obligatory, annoying question, that there's meaning behind it," she told PopSugar.
So brilliant!
This is another hack that Dax and Kristen use. They have found that it helps their kids feel in control and even save them time in the morning.
This helps speed things along in the morning instead of giving the kids all the reigns on time.
This bedtime hack is really controversial.
"And every night, when we put her to bed, she turns the lights on, which annoys the 4-year-old, and she will move furniture, and she bangs on the door with different, hard toys.
Controversial or brilliant?
"We don't limit ourselves as much as we should at home," she shared to E!
"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,'" said Bell.
From a young age, Dax and Kristen broke the news to their kids that Santa Claus isn't real.
"I have a fundamental rule that I will never lie to them, which is challenging at times. Our 5-year-old started asking questions like, 'Well, this doesn't make sense, and that doesn't make sense," he said).
"I'm like, 'You know what? This is just a fun thing we pretend while it's Christmas.'"
You won't catch these kids watching Frozen anytime soon.
"The APA recommends that you let kids watch TV when they're 2 and a half, so we’re trying to follow that, which unfortunately is not realistic for all parents," Bell told Us Weekly.
"But she's certainly seen videos, she loves the hell out of Snoopy! But we're trying. She certainly hasn’t seen anything Frozen."
