We\u00a0looked through Kristen Bell\u2019s interviews on\u00a0her parenting experience, and here\u2019s the \u201cgolden collection\u201d of\u00a0her tips and tricks on\u00a0how to\u00a0raise happy and responsible kids.\n\n

Kristen Bell and her husband, Dax Shepard, have come up with a nice hack on how to teach kids to apologize. Whenever they have an argument or a fight, they make up in front of their daughters and say, \u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d Some parents may be afraid of appearing vulnerable in front of the kids, but Bell is sure that\u2019s not something to be afraid of. \u201cI let them witness apologies a lot,\u201d said the actress. \u201cDon\u2019t be scared of apologies!\u201d\n

She models the behavior she wants to\u00a0see in\u00a0her kids.\n\n

Bell confessed that asking her kids to\u00a0read books and never reading herself just doesn\u2019t work. Whenever she wants her daughters to\u00a0do\u00a0anything,\u00a0she becomes their role model\u00a0and does it\u00a0herself.\n</p><div class='\"e599d42b92530cddc130' d678c9ac111a6390ff29>\n<h2>Bell and her husband \u201cswap\u201d kids.\n\n<div class='\"fe475c3f28885ceec1f1\"' tabindex='\"-1\"'>\n<div data-test-id='\"article-image-10\"'><picture class='\"b10992b7e7307cb7c32f\"'><source srcset='\"https:\/\/wl-brightside.cf.tsp.li\/resize\/728x\/webp\/45a\/a37\/723cd7525c8dfaa95a87509ab1.jpg.webp' type='\"image\/webp\"'></source><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' id='\"image27605795\"' class='\"e33ce0f82f0e7404cc63\"' title='\"\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/wl-brightside.cf.tsp.li%5C/resize%5C/728x%5C/jpg%5C/45a%5C/a37%5C/723cd7525c8dfaa95a87509ab1.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"728\"'>\n<div data-test-id='\"article-image-10\"'>\n<p>In her interviews, Bell often calls the parenting tactic she and Shepard use a \u201ctag team.\u201d The actress confessed that she and her husband are often \u201cswitching\u201d kids whenever one of them feels overwhelmed and needs a short break from parenting. \u201cYou don\u2019t want to be reactive to your kids. You want to be thoughtful, and you want to be setting a good example,\u201d said Bell. While one parent is recharging their batteries, another one is taking care of the kids, and this is how it works.\n</p><div class='\"e599d42b92530cddc130' d678c9ac111a6390ff29>\n<h2>She has normalized enjoying some time on\u00a0her own every day.\n\n<div class='\"e41bc9ff01216090d280' d6eb696a7c7bedeb0cc1>\n<div class='\"instagram-media-container' c2a8f6b9fe93f8e6209d><iframe id='\"instagram-embed-1\"' class='\"instagram-media' e1ea5b7a177e287359e0 instagram-media-rendered src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.instagram.com%5C/p%5C/CSPQv__MvjX%5C/embed%5C/?cr=1&v=7&wp=726&rd=https%3A%2F%2Fbrightside.me&rp=%2Farticles%2F7-parenting-hacks-from-kristen-bell-that-you-may-want-to-try-with-your-own-kids-805722%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A1946.1000000238419%2C%22ls%22%3A1217.1000000238419%2C%22le%22%3A1938.3999999761581%7D%5C%22" height='\"1113\"' frameborder='\"0\"' scrolling='\"no\"' allowfullscreen='\"allowfullscreen\"' data-instgrm-payload-id='\"instagram-media-payload-1\"' data-mce-fragment='\"1\"'>\n<div>\n<p>Bell\u2019s daughters know that their mom needs to spend some time on her own every day to enjoy a beauty routine or just to answer some e-mails.

The girls have makeup pallets in their rooms and sometimes they use mommy\u2019s beauty products as well. \u201cSome days they come downstairs with bright red lipstick and eye shadow all over their face and I say, \u2019Cool, that\u2019s what you wanted to do to your body today,\u2019\u201d the actress shared.\n</p><div class='\"e599d42b92530cddc130' d678c9ac111a6390ff29>\n<h2>She talks about safety in\u00a0a\u00a0language that her kids understand.\n\n<div class='\"e41bc9ff01216090d280' d6eb696a7c7bedeb0cc1>\n<div class='\"instagram-media-container' c2a8f6b9fe93f8e6209d><iframe id='\"instagram-embed-2\"' class='\"instagram-media' e1ea5b7a177e287359e0 instagram-media-rendered src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.instagram.com%5C/p%5C/BVArI_UFBtL%5C/embed%5C/?cr=1&v=7&wp=726&rd=https%3A%2F%2Fbrightside.me&rp=%2Farticles%2F7-parenting-hacks-from-kristen-bell-that-you-may-want-to-try-with-your-own-kids-805722%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A1948.1000000238419%2C%22ls%22%3A1217.1000000238419%2C%22le%22%3A1938.3999999761581%7D%5C%22" height='\"917\"' frameborder='\"0\"' scrolling='\"no\"' allowfullscreen='\"allowfullscreen\"' data-instgrm-payload-id='\"instagram-media-payload-2\"' data-mce-fragment='\"1\"'>\n\n<div class='\"e599d42b92530cddc130' d678c9ac111a6390ff29>\n<p>A\u00a0couple of\u00a0years ago, Bell shared a\u00a0photo showing her daughters\u2019 hands placed on\u00a0her car gas cap.

For example, when Bell read her little girls\u00a0Snow White, she\u00a0asked\u00a0them whether Snow White was right when she accepted the apple from a\u00a0stranger and ate it\u00a0and whether her girls would do\u00a0the same.\n</p><div class='\"e599d42b92530cddc130' d678c9ac111a6390ff29>\n<h2>Bell teaches her daughters to\u00a0be\u00a0kind and compassionate.\n\n<div class='\"e41bc9ff01216090d280' d6eb696a7c7bedeb0cc1>\n<div class='\"instagram-media-container' c2a8f6b9fe93f8e6209d><iframe id='\"instagram-embed-3\"' class='\"instagram-media' e1ea5b7a177e287359e0 instagram-media-rendered src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.instagram.com%5C/p%5C/CAjeF6vpUTK%5C/embed%5C/?cr=1&v=7&wp=726&rd=https%3A%2F%2Fbrightside.me&rp=%2Farticles%2F7-parenting-hacks-from-kristen-bell-that-you-may-want-to-try-with-your-own-kids-805722%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A3%2C%22os%22%3A3222.899999976158%2C%22ls%22%3A1217.1000000238419%2C%22le%22%3A1938.3999999761581%7D%5C%22" height='\"932\"' frameborder='\"0\"' scrolling='\"no\"' allowfullscreen='\"allowfullscreen\"' data-instgrm-payload-id='\"instagram-media-payload-3\"' data-mce-fragment='\"1\"'>\n<div>\n<p>Bell is sure that it\u2019s a good idea to remind ourselves from time to time that we are all going through the same problems and we need each other\u2019s support.
