In an interview, Lian Paz opens up about raising her daughters.
Former Eat Bulaga dancer Lian Paz speaks about how she and her partner, John Cabahug, raise their daughters.
Raising kids is one of the most rewarding things to do in life and, at the same time, one of the most challenging. Being a parent is not just about providing food, shelter, and education. It includes shaping a human’s values, resilience, and sense of self.
Recently, in an interview, Lian Paz shared her parenting style and her partner’s style. She has been in a relationship with John Cabahug for many years now. They have a daughter, who is nine years old now. Paz has daughters Xonia and Xalene from her previous marriage to estranged husband Paolo Contis, while John also has a daughter named Maria Alexandra from his previous relationship, as well.
In their setup within their family, she is the one who is strict when it comes to the kids, and John’s role is to balance things out by explaining to the kids why she reacted a certain way.
She also highlighted how important it is for the kids to understand why she corrects their behavior. She said, “For example, ‘I need to get your phone.’ They know why. Hindi puwedeng hindi nila alam.”
This helps, especially when they are growing. They need to have ethical values, and as parents, the teaching should come from them.
As parents, they make sure to spend quality time with their children, as it is the root of their loving relationship. They also wanted them to enjoy freedom in making decisions for themselves. She expressed, “Kasi nagpo-focus kami sa kung ano yung gusto ng mga bata, and makaka-build ba iyan ng personality nila.”
But one thing is for sure, whatever they choose, they will always be there to guide.
