In a candid moment, Hilaria revealed that her five-year-old daughter, Carmen, was feeling particularly grumpy and needed a little extra love. So, what did she do?

Hilaria’s Parenting Style: A Blend of Yoga and Patience
Hilaria, the author of The Living Clearly Method: 5 Principles for a Fit Body, Healthy Mind & Joyful Life, shares her brood with husband Alec Baldwin. Together, they have four adorable kids: Carmen, Rafael (3), Leonardo (2), and baby Romeo (5 months). In a recent interview with People, Hilaria opened up about the challenges of parenting with a 26-year age gap. She admitted that it forces both her and Alec to be more patient with each other's approaches.
"I’m the kind of person who could get so wrapped up in my kids that I might lose sight of our relationship," Hilaria explained. "I might assume, 'Don’t you love doing this too? Isn’t this so much fun?' But Alec is more old-school. He believes in a traditional division of labor—'You’re the mom, you take care of the kids, and then I will come and go and read a book with them every once in a while.'"
