“Our rules are probably stricter than most. Our kids don’t have social media,” Sarah told Yahoo’s parenting series So Mini Ways. “They’re allowed to look sometimes when it’s our phones.”
She added, “Sometimes, our kids will be like ‘you guys are the strictest household!’ But I say, ‘yes, but everyone still wants to come here!’ ”
Sarah compared posting something on social media to getting a Paw Patrol face tattoo at 5 years old.
“Because at that age, there’s nothing better than Paw Patrol. And now you’re 10 and [13], and you still have these tattoos on your face and it’s not even who you are anymore,” Sarah said. “That’s a very hard concept for young kids to grasp.”
“I believe kids need to know what their limitations are, and they actually thrive in that environment. We’re not mean, we’re not unnecessarily strict, but we have rules. And the same way I abide by my code of rules, I expect the same from our children,” Sarah concluded.
Sarah Michelle Gellar and her 12-year-old daughter Charlotte made a rare public appearance in September 2022.
