Being a parent requires a lot of patience and hard work to raise happy and healthy kids. It's no secret that a lot of lessons on the matter are learned along the way. And sometimes it becomes interesting as well as beneficial to hear stories from other parents on how they manage to deal with their kids. Recently, during one of The Ellen DeGeneres Show segments “Mom Confessions” actress Mila Kunis opened up about her experiences of raising two children.
When she was asked the question “What’s your biggest parenting fail?”, the woman decided to share one of the personal stories “that’s about to get her in trouble.”

Mila Kunis, together with her husband Ashton Kutcher, actor and entrepreneur, have two children: 7-year-old Wyatt Isabelle and 4-year-old Dimitri Portwood. Their daughter Wyatt started going to preschool, where one day she had to face a bully, who pushed the girl. After Wyatt came back home, she told her mom about this incident. This is when Kunis asked her daughter: “Did you push her back?” The actress said that she asked this question instinctually and her daughter was quick to answer that she hadn’t done it.

“Push her back next time,” was the advice Kunis gave to her daughter. “You push her back and say ‘No, thank you,’ and you walk away.” The reason why the mother said this was because she wanted to make sure that her kids would learn to stand up for themselves from a young age. Later she elaborated on this situation, telling her daughter not to push anyone when they are on the swings, ladder, or slides, but when they are “even-steven,” she shouldn’t be afraid to stand up for herself.

The actress also shared the reaction of her husband who heard the whole conversation. Once he heard his wife’s advice, he immediately disagreed with her. Even though Kunis explained why it is important not to just let someone push and bully you, she agreed that this whole parenting situation could be added among her parenting fails.
In her recent interview, Kunis shared one of her parenting fails that occurred when her daughter came back from school and shared that she was pushed by another kid

In the segment of “Mom Confessions,” Kunis revealed some more everyday things she has to go through and consider when raising her kids. She shared that at this age, her son and daughter are depending on her and see her as “the center of their universe,” so it is important to take into consideration what is being said to them and notice their reactions to various things.
