Tisdale also opened up about forging her own parenting style with French.

“The advice is definitely a real thing from your friends and family, for sure,” she added with a laugh. “It’s very funny because my mom will always be like, ‘Well, we did this,’ and I’m like, ‘I know, but I’m not gonna do that that way.’ This is just who I am.
