Coco Austin, the renowned model, showcased her A+ parenting skills after discovering her 8-year-old daughter, Chanel, was facing bullying at school. Opening up in an exclusive interview with E! News’ Francesca Amiker, Coco shared how she turned a kindergarten bully situation around, emphasizing the power of killing negativity with kindness.
Initially dismissing it as typical child behavior, Coco’s perspective changed when she encountered the classmate’s parent at a school event. Opting for the high road, the 44-year-old model recounted how she “killed her with kindness,” leading to a positive shift in attitudes. The result? Chanel and the once-bullying classmate became fast friends, proving that sometimes all it takes is a generous dose of kindness.
While Coco may have aced the lesson on handling bullies, she’s now navigating a new challenge: parenting in the age of the internet. Revealing that her daughter recently admitted to Googling the family, Coco highlighted the importance of addressing online content with honesty. Despite hoping to broach this topic when Chanel was older, she emphasized the need to guide her through the potential pitfalls of internet misinformation.
As Coco embraces her role as a protective “mama bear,” she recently celebrated Chanel’s 8th birthday with a Hello Kitty-themed bash. Determined to keep her daughter happy, Coco shared how Chanel insisted on a party, echoing the sentiment of her classmates. The family’s commitment to creating memorable moments for Chanel reflects their dedication to navigating the challenges of parenthood in the digital age.
