<\/p>\n Kate Middleton is known for maintaining a balance when it comes to preparing her children for their future roles, while also giving them as normal a childhood as possible. From raising them away from the spotlight, to breaking royal traditions that could affect their well-being, Middleton and Prince William <\/a>have always prioritized their roles as parents before duty. The Princess of Wales once reflected on the core ‘values’ she teaches her children and emphasized their importance in every child\u2019s life. <\/p>\n Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/p>\n According to Marie Claire<\/a>, in 2017, Middleton attended the Place2Be Big Assembly for Children\u2019s Mental Health Week and revealed the parenting practices she has learned from her parents. She said, \u201cWhen I was growing up, I was very lucky. My family was the most important thing to me. They provided me with somewhere safe to grow and learn, and I know I was fortunate not to have been confronted by serious adversity at a young age.\u201d Middleton stressed how every child \u201cshould have people around them to show them love, and to show them kindness, and nurture them as they grow.\u201d <\/p>\n Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The mother-of-three further opined that kindness, respect, and honesty are 3 values that a child must learn. She said, \u201cMy parents taught me about the importance of qualities like kindness, respect, and honesty, and I realize how central values like these have been to me throughout my life. That is why William and I want to teach our little children, George and Charlotte, just how important these things are as they grow up.” The Princess <\/a>argued that these values are just as important as \u201cexcelling at maths or sport.\u201d<\/p>\n Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Middleton has also reportedly put her foot down to protect her children from a certain royal tradition that involves blooding. Typically, when a royal kid goes on their first hunt, the blood of the animal they killed is smeared on their face. According to the Daily Mail<\/a>, royal author Tom Quinn, in his book Yes Ma\u2019am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants, explained how Middleton refused to allow her children to partake in the hunting tradition. He wrote, \u201cCharles’s daughter-in-law, Catherine, Princess of Wales, has put her foot down and insisted there will be no blooding for her children.\u201d <\/p>\n Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
