Miranda Kerrbelieves in watching her kids blossom while lending support along the way.

The soon-to-be mom of four, 40, discussed her approach to parenting while appearing onBumpsuit’sThe Villagepodcast.

“From the moment that they’re born, they have their own little soul. And sometimes we think, is it conditioning, or is it who they are? It’s obviously a combination of both, but they do have their own [personality]," she shared.

“My two little ones that are raised in the exact same environment are very different individuals. And they were from the moment they were born.”

“It’s beautiful to help them be who they’re meant to be. Give them the nurturing to be who they want to be and [are] meant to be, and not project onto them who you might want them to be," she continued. “It’s really who they are that you’re nurturing, and really encourage their own spiritual journey and uniqueness within that.”

She said, “Another thing my mom taught me is whatever you’re doing, give it 100%. For me, that is whether I’m changing a diaper or washing the dishes, or doing my PNL or developing a product. Always give your all.”

As this pregnancy winds down, Kerr has also made it a point to take some more me-time as she prepares for her family to grow.

“I’ve also been investing extra time in myself this pregnancy, particularly in this last trimester. Taking a little extra time for myself each morning before the boys wake to sit quietly and meditate — usually with myNoni Glow Sleeping Maskon to make up for the lack of beauty sleep — take a bath or do whatever it is that my body is telling me it needs,” Kerr shared.

“Taking time for yourself, listening to your body, and prioritizing self-care is important to feel your best so you can give the best of yourself to others.”
