Prince Harry said his parents Diana and King Charles had a lot of arguments before him, which is where his perspective on disagreements comes from.
Prince Harry revealed his parenting strategies while raising his children and how he handles their outbursts in a recent interview.
The Duke of Sussex spoke in a live-streamed conversation about how it would be impossible for him to live inside the royal family in Britain while maintaining his mental health and assuring a loving environment for his wife and children, reports The Guardian. .
He also gushed about his four-year-old son Archie and one-year-old daughter Lilibet. Prince Harry said it is important for children to feel “loved” and should be given the opportunity to “be themselves”.
“If they have a moment of frustration, let them do it, and then talk to them about it later. When they start and you say, ‘Don’t do it,’ it’s not helping,” Prince Harry said.
He further added that “more of us as adults should be encouraged to have these outbursts, even if it’s in your pillow.”
He added that expressing his anger into a pillow is an exercise he would love to be able to engage in and that letting children have those outbursts is part of growing up.
He said he and his wife, Meghan Markle, didn’t like the idea of arguing in front of the kids.
The Duke of Sussex also revealed that he “assumed that[his]parents (the late Princess Diana and King Charles III) had a lot of[arguments]in front of him which could be their point of view on the disagreement.” “
Reports emerged earlier this week that Harry and Meghan are being evicted from their home at the British royal family’s Windsor estate, leaving them without a UK base.
“I’ve lost a lot, but I’ve gained a lot at the same time. To see my kids grow up here like that, I can’t imagine how it would have been possible in that environment,” said Harry.
“This leaves me in this position now, as a father of two children of my own, to ensure that I shower them with love and affection. Harry said, don’t hold them down to the point where they’re trying to get away and I’m like, ‘No, come here I need you to hug me.
He said he feels a great responsibility not to go through any of the trauma he faced as a child.
“I, as a father, feel a great responsibility not to project any trauma, or any negative experience, that I’ve had as a child or as a man growing up. , And it’s work. He’s putting in the work and he’s alert to my behavior and my reactions to both of my kids on a daily basis.”
