“The older I’ve gotten, I’ve realized the more humanity these kids can see in me, the more we’re going to connect,” she explained. “
I want them to see the highs and lows, so when they’re feeling anxieties about school or relationships, they know it’s a safe place for them to come to me.”
She also opened up about how quickly her children have grown. She said: "When [Drake] was Crew's age, people would look at me and say, 'Oh, you better hold on tight. It goes by fast.'
"Now, being a mother of a four-year-old and an almost 18-year-old, it's a constant reminder to not take these moments for granted."

"Sometimes I feel like they're the parents," she said. "I always thought, 'I'm the mom, I should have the answers.'
