Tina Knowles Lawson Says Beyonce Doesn't Spank Her Kids… But Is Spanking Really Acceptable Anymore? - Bravo

Posted: 14 Aug 2019 12:00 AM PDT

Beyonce's mom, Tina Knowles Lawson, is opening up about how her daughter raises her own kids.

"No spankings," Bey's mom told Us Weekly. "Just really talking to the kids and reasoning with them. I can say, [she] pretty much has my parenting!"

She also hinted at those pregnancy rumors surrounding the singer, and said Bey and her husband, Jay Z, are open to adding to their family. The two entertainers, who married in 2008, welcomed daughter Blue Ivy in 2012 and twins Rumi and Sir in 2017.

Tina added of the family: "[They] have nannies for the kids and their assistants help out too, but they mostly try and bring the kids everywhere. Blue always travels with Beyonce and comes with her when she's working. The twins are getting older and Beyonce has been taking them out a little more too. … They're a very tight-knit family and like to do everything together."

Psychology Today reports that "spanking is correlated strongly and quite exclusively with multiple negative outcomes for children.

"Being spanked is bound to elicit feelings of resentment, hostility, fear and shame in children. Such feelings may be suppressed due to fears of retaliation or rejection on part of the parent, but are bound to emerge later in the form of neurosis or chaotic emotional expression."

PT further explains:

"Children form an 'internal working model' of the world and other people through the constant give and take of daily parent-child interactions. This working model sets the child's expectations about world, self, and others, and is used to guide behavior in new situations and into the future. A child who is routinely spanked when she is in need of comforting and support may internalize a view of the parent as rejecting and herself as unworthy of love, which in time may lead to eroded intimacy with the parent as well as depression and low self esteem. (Research has indeed documented consistent link between a history of spanking and less close parent-child relations, as well as higher risk for emotional disorders such as depression and anxiety)."

It's a good argument for not spanking your kid. So does anyone spank anymore? Well, likely if it happened to you, you will repeat that behavior, if you aren't aware.

"Research has shown that spanking does in fact increase children's stress levels, as well as their risk for a host of future psychological problems," Psychology Today continues. "These findings have prompted some researchers to propose that spanking be added to the accepted list known to predict adult adjustment and health problems, and that we begin to consider spanking a public health concern.

"It is rare for parents who were not spanked as children to begin to spank their children. Spanking, like other behaviors and customs, is readily transmitted from one generation to the next absent a strong counter-current. Research has shown that, particularly when we are under duress, we tend to fall back on our primary responses—those that are well learned, those we grew up with. Parenting is stressful, so parents will often fall back on primary responses, those learned early, from their role models for parenting—their own parents."

In 2018, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended in a policy statement in the journal Pediatrics that parents not spank, hit, or slap their children because it has lasting negative effects.

And the American Psychological Association suggests that those parents whose history involves physical abuse should be counseled by a therapist "not to use corporal punishment as a technique to discipline their children."

"Until researchers, clinicians, and parents can definitively demonstrate the presence of positive effects of corporal punishment, including effectiveness in halting future misbehavior, not just the absence of negative effects, we as psychologists can not responsibly recommend its use," says the report.

Jay-Z And Beyonce Have Fun With Their Twins — Sir And Rumi — In New Pictures As Tina Knowles ... - Celebrity Insider

Posted: 18 Aug 2019 11:15 AM PDT

It looks like Jay-Z and Beyonce are having the time of their lives together with their children, twins Rumi and Sir Carter.

The whole bunch was just recently spotted having a good time at the beach, enjoying each other's company and having lots of fun.

The kids were spotted running around and having tons of fun — as they usually do — while Beyonce and Jay-Z themselves decided to take a more chilled approach to the situation and just kicked back.

It has been a while since the public has seen pictures of the couple's kids, as the two music stars have been doing their best to maintain some privacy around their family.

While this has been frustrating for some of their fans, others have pointed out that it is probably for the better, given the way the children should be raised.

Other celebrities have taken the exact opposite approach to that, but it looks like Jay-Z and Beyonce have the right idea when it comes to raising their kids appropriately.

They are not trying to suffocate them with their own fame — compared to other celebrities — and they have been very respectful in the way they have been behaving in public in general.

Hopefully, this situation continues in the future, as they are among the most endeared families in the celebrity world at the moment, and they have a strong following and the support of many of their fans right now, most of whom have continuously been curious about the current status of the power couple.

Tina Knowles Lawson, Beyonce's mother was recently interviewed while attending BeautyCon Festival in Los Angeles where she said the diva does not spank her children.

She told Entertainment Tonight: "No spankings. Just really talking to the kids and reasoning with them. I can say, [she] pretty much has my parenting!"

Tina also revealed that Jay-Z and Beyonce would love to have more children. She said this about Blue Ivy Carter: "I've bought Blue so many makeup kits, much to her dad's dismay! It's just for playtime. We have fun!

She said Blue would start wearing makeup when she is a teenager and added: "I think about 13. It's when I started letting my girls wear makeup. A little lip gloss, maybe a little blush and I always believed in mascara, that's so fun. But not any base and all that stuff, that's a little much."

The family seems in a good place.

How Is Beyoncé Able To Balance Her Career and Motherhood? - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Posted: 19 Aug 2019 02:31 PM PDT

Being a mother is hard enough as it is, but being a mother who is also one of the top performers of this generation just sounds extremely difficult.

For years, many of us have come to know Beyoncé as someone who puts her all into everything she does.

From singing to dancing to acting, Beyoncé continues to remain on top and now that she is a mother of three, many of us can't help but wonder how exactly she does it all?

Being a hands-on mom and an artist does not come easy for Beyoncé

For years, many of us have been convinced that Beyoncé was just way too perfect to experience the same struggles many of us face.

The singer has been categorized as the definition of perfection and we were once certain things just have and always will come easy to her.

However, after watching Beyoncé's Netflix documentary Homecoming that was released back in April, we know for a fact now that that is far from true.

In the documentary, the singer opens up about her life as a mother and performer and also admits that trying to balance both is "a lot" proving that at the end of the day, she is a human with hardships and trials just like us.

Most people already know that Beyoncé is the mother of 7-year-old daughter Blue Ivy and 1-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir.

While the Lemonade singer is known for keeping her private life out of the public eye, Beyoncé has been open about her struggle of trying to be a hands-on mother and wife as well as a successful recording artist.

During the Netflix documentary, Bey explained that being a mother along with having a demanding career was extremely hard to balance and still is.

"Just trying to figure out how to balance being a mother of a 6-year-old and of twins that need me and giving myself creatively and physically it is a lot to juggle."

She added, "It's not like before when I could rehearse 15 hours straight — I have children, I have a husband. I have to take care of my body."

Beyoncé has been giving herself a break from performing

Though Beyoncé spent a ton of time preparing to headline Coachella last year, the singer was able to find ways to still be with her kids all while she rehearsed.

"My mind was not there. My mind wanted to be with my children. What people don't see is the sacrifice. I would dance and go off to the trailer and breastfeed the babies, the days I could I would bring the children," Beyoncé said in the Homecoming documentary.

Since her Coachella performance, Beyoncé has taken a break from headlining tours to be home with her family.

With six studio albums and seven headlining tours under her belt, the singer hasn't really had a break.

Now that Beyoncé is a mother of three, we can see that she isn't as busy as she used to be and is making more time for her family.

Though she recently traveled to a few countries to promote the new live-action remake of The Lion King, we can assume that did not take her from her kids for too long.

Just like many mothers, it is probably still challenging for Beyoncé to find that perfect balance between motherhood and her career but she is continuing to make it work to the best of her ability.
