Celebrity Parenting: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

Michelle Obama: The Example

Our former First Lady sets an example in many areas of life and parenting is no different. Although the girls were raised in The White House with a huge staff at their disposal, Michelle still found it important for the girls to have responsibilities and do chores and was against White House staff spoiling them. She also tries to limit TV consumption and limits candy consumption to special occasions only. It sounds like a healthy way to raise two girls!

With Malia Obama embarking on her gap year before attending Harvard University and 15-year-old Sasha excelling at Washington, D.C.’s Sidwell Friends School, it’s clear this parenting method works.
