Sarah Jessica Parker has recently shed light on her unique approach to nurturing her children towards a fulfilling life of success. During a sit-down interview on The E! News on May 28th, the beloved Sex and the City star emphasized her desire for her offspring to receive an education that resonates deeply with their individual aspirations. While imparting wisdom to her eldest son, James Wilkie, now 22, Sarah expressed, "I do not subscribe to the notion that there exists a singular path to becoming an educated individual or a self-sufficient adult, nor do I advocate modeling one's life solely after the conventional milestone of 'finishing college' at, say, the age of 22."
The talented actress from And Just Like That revealed that parents universally aspire for their children to embark on endeavors that are exhilarating, challenging, arduous, and rewarding. Nevertheless, Sarah also underscored the significance of preparing her children to ultimately become self-reliant, both emotionally and financially. The 60-year-old elaborated, "Our goal is to empower them to navigate the world confidently, serving as dependable individuals not only to themselves but also to others." She further added, "Conversations about work and life goals are central to this endeavor."
Elsewhere in the engaging conversation, the actress candidly shared the importance of her children feeling empowered to make choices in their lives. "I eagerly anticipate witnessing their respective paths, but more than anything, I hope they feel—and I hope all young people feel, to some extent—that they possess options and that there isn't a one-size-fits-all blueprint for success," she concluded thoughtfully.
