The fashion icon and mother of four gets candid in a new interview withGlamourUKabout how she treats the idea of food around her kids in an effort to ensure they develop their own healthy habits.
“I would never sit down with my kids and skip a meal — they need to see that their mum eats healthily,” said Beckham, 45. “You need to show little people how to be healthyand happy with who they are.”
“When you have children, it also puts a lot into perspective,” she also said of how becoming a mother has impacted her body image. “You realize they notice everything.”
Speaking of leveraging her own experiences along her parenting journey, theVictoria Beckham Beautyfounder said that being “bullied a lot at school” as a teen — both “mentally and physically” — has helped her when it comes to teaching her 8-year-old daughterHarper Sevento treat others with respect.
