Marian Rivera (𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 1984) is known as the queen of the screen, the most beautiful actress in the Philippines in the past decade. Not only impressing with her successful career and beautiful appearance, Marian Rivera is also admired for her happy family with her famous husband Dingdong Dantes.
Currently, the couple has two beautiful 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren: the first daughter named Maria Letizia (often called Zia) is 4 years old and the youngest son Jose Sixto is 6 months old.
Despite being famous stars, Marian Rivera and her husband are willing to put their careers on the back burner, putting family and 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren as the highest priority. The actress shared that, for her, there is nothing happier than waking up every morning with her husband and 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren. Actor Dingdong also limits accepting many artistic projects to focus on raising two young 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren with his wife.
Because of her parents’ care and love, Zia was raised very carefully. She was allowed to travel to many places to experience, so she was not afraid of strangers. Zia speaks English well and was also taught Spanish.
However, Zia, like many 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren in the technology era, loves to watch phones, iPads, computers… The 4-year-old girl used to own an iPad, but Marian saw that her daughter spent too much time using it. Therefore, she decided to “detox” her daughter from the iPad.
Marian admits that the iPad is really useful, especially when traveling. Therefore, she does not forbid her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 from using it. “During long trips, I still let Zia see my phone. However, I let her see electronic devices in a controlled manner and not too much” – Marian Rivera shared.
But on a daily basis, the mother of two is stricter with Zia about using her phone/iPad. She only lets her daughter use it for a limited amount of time. “We will play together or she will play with the nanny or her younger brother,” said the most beautiful woman in the Philippines.
In addition, to keep her daughter from missing the iPad, the most beautiful woman in the Philippines encourages her to participate in some favorite activities such as drawing, coloring, playing with dolls and pretend cooking… This is not only a good way to pull Zia away from electronic devices but also helps her practice her memory, improve her observation and imagination s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s.
Indeed, the benefits of electronic devices are undeniable. Therefore, instead of banning them, Marian Rivera will limit her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥’s usage time with other interesting activities. At the same time, she will control the content that her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 will watch.
As a mother, no matter how busy she is, Marian Rivera affirms that she always takes time to play with her daughter, so that she can feel her mother’s love and closeness, and also to help her learn and explore the world around her.
