Jessica Alba is explaining why she's so transparent about going to therapy with her eldest child, 13-year-old Honor.
During Alba's appearance onin July, she said she and Honor had started attending mother-daughter therapy sessions two years ago to work through communication barriers. Alba told ET that being a member of the Latino community, she wanted to make prioritizing mental health more acceptable.
"I grew up in a family where it's still not totally accepted," she said."And I think the more we break down those walls, and make it, you know, easy for people to understand and accept that it's just about you showing up for your family members or for yourself in a different way, and trying to be better.
"Luckily I had Kelly and Norah as my girlfriends, mom friends, we were in baby class together," she shared."And as I was thinking up, you know, the dream company, I knew that I could really trust partnering with them and bringing this mission forward of really providing those basic essentials for babies and families, not for people who can just afford it, but also, for those who can't afford it.
"Like my 13-year-old, I'm struggling with not treating her like a little -- I want to treat them all like babies. I want to baby them," she shared."Still my tendency is to parent them as if they are little. I started going to therapy with her I think when she was 11. For me it was really out of, I felt like my relationship really suffered with my parents because they didn't know how to communicate with me and how I needed to be parented.
