During Donald Trump's recent election campaign, Ivanka did not participate in important tasks.

Ivanka is married to businessman Jared Kushner, they have 3 children including Arabella Rose (13 years old), Joseph Frederick (11 years old) and Theodore James (8 years old).

Ivanka encouraged her eldest daughter Arabella to learn piano, ballet, and Mandarin while she was still in elementary school. Now that her daughter is a teenager, Ivanka has revealed that Arabella is now interested in vocal training, horseback riding, and jiu-jitsu.

About her son Joseph, Ivanka said that he loves outdoor activities and sports . Joseph is practicing many sports such as golf, basketball, mountain biking, skateboarding, fishing... In addition, Joseph is also interested in computers and motorcycle engines.

Theodore - Ivanka's youngest son - enjoys playing football, doing parkour and practicing jiu-jitsu. Theodore also enjoys practicing guitar and piano, solving Rubik's cubes, solving puzzles, learning Chinese...

In his parenting philosophy, US President Donald Trump believes in the value of personal pleasures, and encourages his children to find their own pleasures from an early age. He believes that pleasures will help teenagers grow up to be better people, and not indulge in reckless partying or use drugs to find pleasure.

Understanding the value of healthy hobbies, Ivanka and her children have found activities that suit their inclinations and interests. Actively participating in extracurricular activities is a must for Ivanka's children, so that they can find things that interest them.

Get your children involved in volunteer activities early.

Even though Ivanka's children are still young, she has started them volunteering early. Arabella spends her time volunteering with organizations that help people with disabilities. Arabella and her younger brother Joseph also regularly serve at a charity that provides free food to families in especially difficult circumstances.

Cherish family meals

Ivanka said she maintains a strict diet in her family, allowing her children to eat only healthy foods. However, to prevent them from becoming picky eaters, she gives them very limited choices of food to choose from when eating at home.

Ivanka and her husband also agree on the importance of having family meals together. They often set aside Friday nights for family meals. When work and life allow, they even turn off their phones for 25 hours from Friday night through Saturday, so they can truly focus on being with their family.

Spend time with each child

Ivanka said she always tries to arrange to have time alone with each child every day. Through each stage of their growth, she will have appropriate activities to do with each child.

For example, when the children were very young, even with the help of a babysitter, Ivanka still set a goal of feeding them three bottles of milk a day. As the children got older, she would spend at least 20 minutes a day playing with toys with them.

She also tries to be home before her children go to bed. When they were younger, Ivanka would put them to sleep herself. As they got older, she read at least two pages of a story every night with them.

To help children appreciate the time their parents spend with them and also to increase their excitement, Ivanka and her husband always plan "dates" between parents and children with their children.

Taking children to buy books, go to the library, buy toys... are all considered "appointments" between parents and children. Both sides will schedule and agree on the activities to be carried out together.

In addition, Ivanka also focuses on eating out with her children so that they can learn more about social interaction. When the children are old enough to know how to behave politely when eating out, she will have lunch with them once a week.

To keep her children patient while the food was being prepared, Ivanka often brought architectural and interior design drawings of real estate projects. She let her children color these drawings while they waited for their food to be served.

Real estate is a strong business area of ​​the Trump family. Ivanka's practice of letting her children get acquainted with architectural and interior drawings early is a clever way for her children to have initial knowledge in this field.

Discipline makes strength

Ivanka said she is very strict with her children in maintaining the discipline that has been agreed upon by the parents. If the children make mistakes, she will correct them immediately. Ivanka never lets her children watch TV or use the phone for too long, nor does she let them eat too many candies or sweets.

Ivanka once compared raising children to managing people in the workplace. "You can't teach your children respect, cooperation, or polite behavior if you don't have those qualities yourself. So, to guide my children to do something, I always look back at myself first," Ivanka said.
