After the divorce, Angelina Jolie raised 6 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren on her own including Maddox, Pax Thien, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox.
Her strategy is to let her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren explore the world on their own, thereby improving family happiness and staying connected.
Bright Side magazine once commented carefully on Angelina Jolie’s parenting rules and recommended that parents consider whether to apply them or not.
Unique educational approach
Angelina Jolie is very fond of the international education program called Lycée Française. The program allows students to choose different classes according to their interests and skip classes at any time during home schooling.
However, after Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt divorced in 2016, it was reported that they decided to send their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren to school in the traditional style.
Regarding their future careers, the Jolie 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren also do not have any pressure: “None of my 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren want to become actors,” the Oscar-winning actress revealed.
More important than education is… freedom
For Jolie, letting her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren express themselves the way they want is a top priority. “Nothing makes me happier than seeing my 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren feel comfortable being themselves. I like to see my 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren’s happiness along with their own style and personality,” she said. Jolie admitted that her style was also very bold when she was in school.
Not too strict
The mother of six 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren shares: “I don’t want my 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren to be 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren who know how to behave perfectly by only saying what is appropriate. To be truly happy, they must find themselves. When I’m at home, I let my 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren relax and are allowed to snack whenever they like.”
Necessary restrictions
In fact, Angelina Jolie is a thoughtful and considerate mother. She wants to protect her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren from the negative aspects of fame, so she values their privacy very much. That’s why the six Jolie 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren don’t have Instagram or Facebook accounts.
Do your best to protect your 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren
The divorce of parents is a difficult experience for 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren. For the Jolie 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, the scrutiny of the media and the public makes this experience even more difficult.
That’s why Angelina prioritizes healing her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren’s wounds rather than making more shocking statements about her personal life. She said that, after this incident, in her eyes, her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren were very brave, very strong young men, despite everything.
Angelina Jolie’s father is famous actor Jon Voight, who also enjoys spending time with his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren. Jolie revealed that when she divorced, the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren really needed their grandfather. That’s why she recently reconnected and became very close with her father.
On a rare occasion, Jolie took to social networks to write a heartfelt tribute on the occasion of her late mother’s 73rd 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day. She shared an old photo of her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, and reminisced about the relationship they once had.
She also recalled her mother’s battle with cancer, thereby advising everyone to have regular health checks, especially for those with a family history of the disease.
Angelina Jolie’s colorful family, including biological and adopted 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, is a testament to her boundless love. While her adopted daughter Zahara faced health challenges early on, Jolie’s steadfast support was a great source of motivation for her.
Jolie emphasized that her relationship with Zahara has deep roots, stemming from shared experiences of adversity. However, in addition to her special love for Zahara, she is still conscious of meeting the unique needs of each 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, ensuring that love is spread evenly.
