As a parent who has navigated the digital age myself, I deeply admire Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling for their cautious approach to raising their kids in this social media-dominated world. Their decision to keep their daughters away from the internet might sound extreme, but I can’t help but think back to my own life experience – where I remember the freedom of wandering the streets at night without a care (or a smartphone).
As a gamer sharing some personal insights, I don’t allow my little gamers at home to access the internet or smartphones. It might seem extreme to some, but for me, it’s about maintaining a healthy balance and setting boundaries that feel right for our family.
Eva Mendes keeps smartphones and the internet off-limits for their kids
Eva Mendes spoke openly about raising her children Esmeralda and Amada with husband Ryan Gosling in a recent interview with The Times. She revealed that they have chosen to limit access to the internet and smartphones for their kids, citing concerns over the potential negative impact of social media on young lives.
Eva Mendes conveyed, “Placing my child online and saying, ‘Feel free to search for yourself'”, she added, “To me, that’s similar to telling her, ‘Just go out on the street at night. You’ll be alright.'” She aims to ensure her children maintain good mental health by avoiding harmful comparisons and the burden of striving for an unattainable and unrealistic lifestyle.
In the interview, Eva Mendes discussed with Gosling how they frequently converse with their daughters about the challenges they encountered during their upbringing. They also help their children understand the advantages they possess in life. Mendes emphasized that these conversations are essential for her and her spouse. She stated, “I tell them about what I didn’t have, and what Ryan didn’t have when he was growing up.” Mendes went on to describe the hardships they faced, such as struggling financially and the difficult times of barely making ends meet, saying, “They may never truly understand unless they go through it themselves.
Mendes and Gosling’s oldest child, Esmeralda, is now ten years old, while their youngest one, Amada, is eight years old at present.
