One in three women will experience domestic violence in their lifetimes.
Reese Witherspoon wants to make sure her children are NOT part of that statistic! The Oscar winning mother has taken steps to make her 12-year-old daughter Ava, and 8-year-old son Deacon aware of what domestic violence is.
She explains:
“We talk about domestic violence and what that means. Although the concept is somewhat foreign to them, they’re starting to understand that this happens to families in our country and all throughout the world.”
Reese reveals that she uses the following to help her explanation of abuse: the infamous tale of Rihanna and Chris Brown.
She says:
“My daughter knows what happened. My son knows as well. We talk about what is abuse. I think it’s important to talk to our daughters ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ and our sons ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ in order to educate them at an early age about what’s appropriate and what is absolutely not acceptable.”
Absolutely!
We are so proud of preggers Reese’s mommying skills.
Wonder how she feels about RiRi and Breezy working together again….
