Shakira is raising her sons to be "modern" day men
Quote:
Shakira has had a busy few months: The Colombian pop star teamed up with Fisher-Price for a line of baby toys last fall, welcomed her second child in January and is currently at work on a Spanish-language album. And while that might sound like a lot to juggle, the 38-year-old singer says balancing her career with motherhood is setting a positive example for her two young sons, Milan, 2, and Sasha, 3 months.
In the spring issue of Parents Latina, Shakira explained how she's raising the boys to be "modern men." Discussing how she is trying to teach their boys to respect women and take care of themselves, the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador said: "Growing up with a working mom is a start. I also think their dad is a good example of a modern man to emulate. Gerard and I pretty much share all parenting responsibilities, although I'm definitely the disciplinarian."
Asked which language bi-lingual Milan is picking up faster, she said: "I would have to say Spanish, since I'm the one he spends the most time with and it's my first language. I talk to him as much as possible - it serves as bonding time and helps his language comprehension skills."
Feminist Global Queen. And not Milan being 2 years old and growing up to be a poliglote just like his mother!
