Gwyneth Paltrow made rare comments about her parenting style on Thursday.
The Talented Mr. Ripley actress discussed raising her two kids — daughter Apple, 20, and son Moses, 19 — revealing she encourages them to do what’s ‘true to themselves’ even if she ‘doesn’t agree with it.’
‘I think I really encourage them to be true to themselves and like to do what feels right to them,’ she told People at the Gwyneth Paltrow X Genesis House ‘The Forest Within’ exhibition in New York City.
‘I think like all the mistakes I made were being talked in or out of something,’ she explained.
‘I really want them, even if I don’t agree with it, like, I want them to be really true to their idea of their purpose and their individuality.’
‘She [Apple] still has another year of college, so, you know, I’m like right, soak it in, and you know, it goes really fast,’ Paltrow added.

Gwyneth also shared that despite their packed schedules, she’s been pleasantly surprised to find she’s actually seeing her kids more these days.
‘You know, my son’s on, they’re both on the East Coast — well, he’s on the East Coast and she’s southeast. And I did a film here in the fall, and it was great ’cause I got to see my son and stepson, who were just very close by quite a lot, which was really nice.’
Paltrow mentioned seeing Apple just this past weekend, adding that her kids ‘are coming home’ now and she ‘can’t wait.’
