Chris Pratt is not raising his children the same way that he was raised.
The Guardians of the Galaxy actor opened up about how he is parenting his three children - Jack, 11, Lyla, three, and Eloise, who is almost two years old.
According to the actor, there's a "new age of parenting" different to how he was raised.

Reflecting on how he was raised, he explained that he and his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger are "trying to raise them in a way that they feel comfortable expressing themselves."
He continued: "They still know the meaning of the word 'no' from their mom. When it comes from me, they don't seem to know what that means. And I don't really know what to do about it, but we'll get there."

Already, his son Jack has seen his latest film - but his girls haven't had the chance yet. "I had a screening and my son saw the movie, loved it, and my girls have not seen it yet. But I'm gonna show them both together. It'll probably be Eloise's first movie."
Chris shares Jack with his ex-wife Anna Faris, with whom he broke up with in 2017.

"We still have love for each other, will always cherish our time together and continue to have the deepest respect for one another."
Anna said of their divorce in 2019: "Grudge-holding is not something that Chris and I do. So, we wanted to make sure, of course, that Jack was happy, but that we were happy and supportive of each other".
She even mooted the idea that they could "have this fantasy idea of, do we all spend Christmas together? Do we all vacation together? How do we make sure that everybody that we love feels safe, and that we also respect the love we have for each other?"
