Salma Hayek in an interview with Red told how to raise children

The 49-year-old movie star Salma Hayek has always been strict with her only daughter. She repeatedly stated this in her interviews, but she never allowed herself to give advice to mothers. Apparently, the times have changed a little, and Salma decided to tell about using gadgets in families where babies are growing.

Tablets are not the best toy for children

In an interview with American magazine Red, the actress said that she strongly condemns those mothers who are allowed to play with a tablet or other similar device to their children. Valentine, a 9-year-old daughter from businessman François-Henri Pinault, she does not even let her father touch the iPad, let alone play. In addition, the girl does not have a mobile phone, and it was the conscious choice of her parents, because Hayek believes that it is better to take the child with him to work than to escape from him teaching a role, giving instead a tablet with games.

"If the child is constrained, withdrawn, unsociable, does not understand what is happening in the real world, it is only the fault of the mother. Constantly using tablets and phones adversely affects the psyche of children, and they feel more comfortable in the virtual world. It's horrible. This process is very difficult to reverse. I believe that gadgets in the hands of children generally should not be. This is only permissible for those children who have old mothers who are constantly tired at work. It's funny to see when a young mother, full of energy, is talking on the phone, and her three-year-old, instead of running and playing, looks at the tablet. This is fundamentally wrong, and I, frankly, am proud that in my family everything is different "

Valentine spends most of her time with her mother

In addition, Hayek said that in order to be with her daughter as much as possible, she cut shooting in projects to one per year. And even at this time the actress does not part with Valentina, constantly taking her with her to work. Her husband, billionaire François-Henri Pino fully supports such education of his daughter, but unlike his wife to give the girl so much time he can not. His business, and the man is the owner of many fashionable Houses (Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci, etc.), does not allow him to often stay near the family.
