Country singer Martina McBride reveals her keys to successful parenting in this month's Family Circle. McBride has three daughters Delaney, 12, Emma, 9, and Ava, 2.
On keeping her kids from getting spoiled:
"I try not giving them everything they want. Aside from books and art supplies, the older girls have to buy stuff with the money they earn doing little jobs around the house. My husband, John, and I aren’t materialistic – I drive a ‘92 Honda–so the girls still get excited when we stay in a nice hotel room or eat at a great restaurant."
On making some time for herself:
"When Delaney and Emma get home from school. They’ll watch Ava while I lie down for a 20-minute nap. I take a bubble bath and read after the kids are in bed. It’s important to relax and recharge so you have energy and a positive attitude to give everyone else."
