Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling have shared stories about the challenges they faced before achieving fame and stability in their careers, with the goal of instilling in their daughters, Esmeralda and Amada, the value of effort and hard work. The couple is concerned about conveying important lessons to them, especially in an increasingly digitally connected world.
The actress has expressed her concern about the possibility of her own anxieties being inherited by her daughters, which drives her to raise them in a safe and controlled environment. Eva believes it is essential for the girls to understand that not everything in life is easy, despite growing up in a privileged position.
They decided to opt for a more traditional parenting style by not allowing 10-year-old Esmeralda and 8-year-old Amada to use mobile phones or access social media. Eva Mendes explained in a recent interview that this decision aims to protect her daughters from the risks associated with early exposure to the digital world, where content can be uncontrollable and harmful.
Regarding the exposure of her daughters to the Internet, Eva compares allowing them to surf the web to leaving them alone in the middle of the street at night, emphasizing the dangers associated with social media, such as the lack of control over content and security risks. Although some may consider her approach extreme, for her, it is a way to ensure her daughters' safety.
Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling aim to teach Esmeralda and Amada valuable lessons about hard work and gratitude, recalling the difficulties they faced before achieving success. For the couple, raising their daughters in an environment where they value effort and safety is essential for their development.
