Why Angelina and other Celebs Carry their Toddlers
July 18th, 2008, All Angelina Jolie, Angelina with her kids,Ever wonder why Angelina Jolie, despite being pregnant before, carried around her kids when in public? At first I thought she wants some exercise for her arms. Imagine carrying two toddlers, a 2-year-old and a 3-year-old with both her arms; that’s an exercise by itself!
In a feature article from Eonline.com, writer Leslie Gornstein wrote that although many people questioned the parenting skills of celebrities because they are seen carrying their kids even though the kids can walk by themselves, former and current Hollywood nannies revealed that the reason for the “kiddie-holding” is reasonable.
According to the article, Hollywood parents DO allow their kids to walk and run around, but as soon as paparazzi arrive, the parents get panicky and their parental protective behavior results in picking their kids up.
The author of a “tell-all nannying book” Suzanne Hansen says, “It’s a safety issue. Nannies, mom and kids havebeen mobbed really badly, and it’s a scary, creepy thing. The parents pick up the children because they feel they have more control holding them.”
I guess with all that money and fame, at the end of the day, these celebrity parents are still just caring parents.
