    Kaley reportedly said that every parent “has their process,” and has actually noticed that Matilda cared less about screen time with the more she watched. “I think that’s the trick,” the actress said.

    TheCamarillo, Californianative anticipated Matilda would follow their family’s acting tradition, as she admitted: “I don’t know how this child will not be an actress. I mean, it’s an acting family.”

    While both Matilda’s parents are actors, she also has a famous aunt, Briana Cuoco, who competed on the fifth season of The Voice and co-starred with her on the HBO Max series The Flight Attendant, in which Kaley played the lead.

    Kaley is reportedly confident in Matilda’s future in acting, citing her and fiancé Tom’s positive industry experiences.

    “We’ve been through all the ups and downs,” she said, “and that girl is a performer. There’s no way she’s not going to perform.”

    The actress previously shared a frustrating experience flying with Matilda, who was nine months old at the time, revealing that a fellow passenger asked her to turn off the sound machine that was helping her sleep. 

    Kaley recounted the incident during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in January.

    The mom-of-one, visibly upset, explained how she and Tom had managed to calm Matilda on the plane before the passenger’s request, which left them both angry.

    Kaley already shared her unbothered approach to parenting back in January, revealing that she had no problem with screen time for her daughter Matilda. 

    At the time, she said she didn’t take parenting advice from others, emphasizing that every child is different. 

    “She doesn’t need to defend anything,” a reader commented

    As a visual editor in the News team, I look for the most interesting pictures and comments to make each post interesting and informative through images, so that you aren't reading only blocks of text. I joined Bored Panda not that long ago, but in this short amount of time I have covered a wide range of topics: from true crime to Taylor Swift memes (my search history is very questionable because of that).In my freetime, I enjoy spending time at the gym, gaming, binging Great British Bake Off and adding yet another tattoo artist that I would love to get a tattoo from to my pinterest board.

    Generally I'd say it's up to the parents, but there are limits eg those who used to think that daily beating were character building.
