While they were still together Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen prioritized the instillation of certain valuable characteristics in their children.

The extract reads, “Benny will tell us that he ate a cookie before dinner, for example, and also that he’s afraid I will get angry. Yes, he’ll lose a star, but rather than getting mad, I thank him for being truthful, which encourages him to be honest. What matters most to me is that we’ve helped create an environment where our kids feel safe to express their feelings and to have real conversations.”

Learning the value of honesty at such a young age is truly admirable. At the same time, the former couple’s emphasis on creating a safe space is remarkable. But, since parting ways how have they managed their responsibilities?

Bündchen had a say in Brady’s latest decision

Brady and Bündchen announced the finalization of their divorce late last year. The former couple said that they would take on co-parenting journeys. In the last few months, they have been spotted indulging in family outings separately.
