David and Patricia Arquette on parenting

From an interview with USA Weekend (http://usaweekend.com/05_issues/050508/050508arquettes.html) that came out today.

Are you raising your children the way you were raised?

DAVID: I like boundaries. We didn't have many. I think structure is good for kids. I want to make sure Coco is very nerdy for a long time. I want her to get into building models and knitting -- all those things that can occupy her time so she's not out clubbing at 14.
PATRICIA: I'm not a great disciplinarian. But luckily Enzo didn't really need that. I just talked him through things. David helped me a lot with understanding him. I'm going to have to reconfigure my skills for my daughter [Harlow], because she's already like, "No, Mama. No!"
DAVID: I learned from our parents' mistakes. Like putting my daughter on a sleep schedule. We never had that

LOL I love David's idea of the knitting thing. That's a very clever thing to do for your child. It probably will keep her occupied and I think it's great to hear how they each have their own ways of raising their kids! Thank you for posting that!

Aww, they're gonna make Coco a nerd. :P

And just randomly.. have any of you seen Enzo before? I think he looks so much like David Arquette.

[ilovefriendsevenmore]

i know his said it but i can't imagine coco being nerdy, not saying nerdy ppl r ugly i'd consider myself a bit of a nerd but she seems too beautiful and it's unimaginable in my head .anyhow im sure she'll please her parents however she is.
