Brooke Shields is the Strict Mom on the Playground

Brooke Shields grew up in the public eye, but has no advice to offer to the young stars dealing with the Hollywood spotlight today.

"I think a lot of these girls are young, and it's all so tempting. For some reason, I wasn't tempted, I don't know why," Shields says in the September issue of Redbook.

She adds, "Sometimes I wish I was a little more tempted to have a little more fun. But then I see them and someone will ask, 'Well, what do you want to say to so-and-so?' I don't want to say anything to them. I want to talk to their mothers."

Shields's was managed by her own mother, Teri Shields, who was publicly criticized for her treatment of Brooke.

"People used to say my mom used me as a commodity," Brooke says. "But you know what? She did her own version dysfunctional behavior, sure, but nothing like you see these days."

As a mother herself, Shields admits to being strict with daughters, Rowan, 4, and Grier, 1,. She says: "I always feel like the odd mom out, because trust me when I tell you I'm on my girls. And every time I am, I know from the outside it looks like I'm an overbearing, controlling parents. But I don't think we have any responsibility to anybody else but our kids and ourselves."

She makes no apologies for her parenting style. "The worst part about it is when I look at my daughter [Rowan], and she'll be fighting with some other kid, and I have to be careful not to always make it her fault. But I can only tell her what to do – I can't tell the other kid. I'll tell her, 'Hey, you suck it up; you give him the toy, and we'll talk about it later.' "
