Angelina Jolie shares how being the mother of teenagers has changed her.
"When your children are little you feel more 'mommy.' When they are teenagers you start to remember yourself as a teenager," she says of Maddox, 18, Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shilo, 13, and 11-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox. "You see them going to punk clubs and you wonder why you can't go. I'm in this fun moment where I’m rediscovering myself."
"Kindness -- to others and themselves. It's important to be humble -- know the freedoms you have and what you've been blessed with and make sure you help others," Jolie says of what she's taught her kids. "And always remember your place -- we’re all human and very flawed. We're tiny pieces in a much bigger world."
"I try to lead by example and be kind and gracious, as my mother was -- and loving and tolerant. But when there's a fight that needs to be had, get in there," she says."We need to prepare the next generation because there’s so much happening in the world -- they’re up against it. I'm working on a program for children with the BBC. We're counting on our children so we must give them the right knowledge and support.
