Stars Tackling Tots
Celebrity Dads Share Advice
By Elisa Ast All
The man who talks to all the stars is Entertainment Tonight anchor Mark Steines, a father of two. Steines says the key to raising happy, healthy kids is spending time with them.
"There is no substitute for time with your child," Steines says. "If you're going to have a long lasting, deep, connected relationship with your child, you have to start building that up at a very young age. So that when all that trust and love and everything starts to be tested when they are teens, you've got a lot to fall back on."
Steines notes that even in Hollywood, parenting is the great leveler. "When you go upstairs to pick up your son, and you see him there naked holding his diaper, completely empty with a pile of poop on the floor going, 'Uh oh!' at some point you just go, 'OK, well I guess [Pierce Brosnan] is going to have to wait another 15 minutes while I get this cleaned up," Steines says. "It keeps you very centered and real."
