Kevin Costner shares how to parent the kids

Hollywood legend Kevin Costner may be best known for his iconic film roles, but when it comes to his real-life role as a dad, he takes it just as seriously. In recent interviews, Costner has opened up about his parenting style, offering a glimpse into how he raises his children with love, consistency, and presence.

Costner, a father of seven, emphasizes the importance of being present and leading by example. “Kids watch what you do more than they listen to what you say,” he shared. For him, parenting is not about being perfect — it’s about being committed.

He also believes in setting firm but fair boundaries, giving his children the freedom to grow while knowing they’re supported. Whether it’s helping with homework, attending school events, or simply listening, Costner shows that time and attention are the most valuable gifts a parent can give.

At the heart of his parenting philosophy is one simple principle: love your kids unconditionally, and let them know it every day.
