AceShowbiz - Demi Moore, a renowned actress and loving mother, opens up about her gentle approach to offering parenting advice to her daughter, Rumer Willis, creating a beautiful testament to maternal wisdom and respect.
Appearing on "The Jennifer Hudson Show" to promote her latest film, "The Substance", 61-year-old Demi Moore delved deep into the nuances of parental guidance and the art of knowing when to share advice. Moore, who has three daughters with ex-husband Bruce Willis, revealed that she prefers a light-handed approach when giving advice to her eldest daughter, Rumer, who is now navigating motherhood herself.
"You know what I have learned? Is that you do not give advice unless you are asked, in general," Moore told host Jennifer Hudson. "First of all, she is a wonderful mother, and I am so proud of her."
Reflecting on her own experiences, Moore shared that she only offers her "experience, strength, and hope" if asked, otherwise, she believes it is better to remain silent. She emphasized the importance of granting her children "the dignity of their own process," acknowledging that different parenting methods are not necessarily wrong.
Rumer, 36, recently celebrated her daughter Louetta's first milestone birthday, a joy both she and her mother cherish deeply. Describing Louetta as "magical" and "a pocket of joy," Moore highlighted how her granddaughter has unveiled "generational patterns" in their family, offering them a chance to break cycles that no longer serve them.
Moore also touched on the rewarding yet instinctual challenges that come with parenting, underscoring that a mother's role is not to rescue but to love and provide space for growth. "Rescuing our children, which is our intuitive instinct, isn't always the best thing. You have to give them the room," she explained.
Beyond her wisdom in motherhood, Moore is relishing the role of grandmother, with all its delightful clichés. "She's just a pure joy. It really is all the cliché. You get all the fun and joy, and you get to go to bed early and have a good night's sleep," she told E! News.
"The Substance", Moore's recent venture, continues to gain attention, reminding audiences of her multifaceted talent and enduring presence in Hollywood. Through candid conversations and heartfelt reflections, Demi Moore offers a profound glimpse into the tender balance of providing parental support and respecting the independence of the next generation.
