Kate's secret parenting code: How the duchess handles royal mischief
Children, even those in the royal family, sometimes misbehave. Such behaviour occasionally happens with Prince George, Prince Louis, and Princess Charlotte. Kate Middleton has a proven way to handle it. What words does she use?
Duchess Kate and Prince William try to provide their children with a normal childhood. Although a nanny helps them raise the children at their family estate, they do everything to spend as much time as possible with them.
Aristocrats are thus witnesses to arguments between siblings and mischief during joint public appearances (e.g., sticking their tongues out at photographers). It has come to light that the future queen has developed a trick to calm the children down in such moments.
Tom Quinn described the secret of Adelaide Cottage Palace in his book about the children growing up there. According to the author, the future queen uses a “secret code” to which the children effectively respond.
Sometimes she does it. She just says, “let’s take a break.” But as a former employee explained, the children know that those few words carry much more weight than we might imagine, according to the "Mirror".
Kate and William's home has a strict rule. Children must comply
These are not the only parenting tricks the 42-year-old uses with Prince William. In their home, loud conversations are never allowed, and the no-shouting rule also applies to the youngest household members.
If Prince George starts arguing loudly with his brother or sister, the young children are immediately separated into different rooms. There, they have disciplinary conversations with them. What do these entail?
A misbehaving child is taken away from the place of the argument or disturbance and calmly talks with Kate or William. Everything is explained, and consequences are presented. They never shout at them, according to the British “Sun”.
Members of the "Royals" have been taught for years that excessive and spontaneous displays of emotion are inappropriate. It looks like Duchess Kate also ensures this custom is adhered to. What do you think, are her methods appropriate?
