Alicia Silverstone Says She Doesn't Need To Reprimand Her Son: 'He Respects Me'

Every parent is different, and what works for one child might not work for another, no matter how much you try and hope that it will. Some children don't need any more than a stern word — and some kids don't even need that much!

Actress Alicia Silverstone has found a pretty simple way that works with her children.

Alicia, best known for her role as Cher in Clueless, said in a new interview of her 8-year-old son Bear, “Because of the healthy lifestyle that we lead, he didn’t go through terrible twos and terrible threes."

"There wasn’t really much of that."

“When you’re really meeting their needs, and you really understand what they want and need… I didn’t find any of that," Alicia continued.

Alicia explained that it's not as if Bear is the perfect child and there's never any conflict.

“There have been moments where there were things we had to redirect and correct, of course, but it just wasn’t the fight that you hear about," she explained.

"The most I have to say is, ‘No thank you, Bear,' and he goes, 'Okay.'"

"That's my reprimanding. And he's got it. Because he respects me and I respect him," she explained.

If only all kids could be that easy!
