Kate
Hudson's Strict Rules for Perfect Son
4/2/08
Hollywood star Kate Hudson is glad she is a strict mother - because her
son Ryder has become the perfect child.
The Almost Famous beauty chose to strongly discipline her child - with
ex-husband Chris Robinson - because her mother Goldie Hawn let her run
wild as a kid.
And the Fool's Gold star thinks her tough tactics have paid dividends
because the four-year-old is so well behaved.
She says, "When I had Ryder, suddenly there were a lot of rules.
I'm much stricter about things like manners than I thought I'd be. My mom
wasn't strict at all.
"He had a couple (of tantrums). He had a couple and I would just
stare at him and wait. He would realize I wasn't doing anything - unaware
I trying desperately to remain calm inside - and he would stop. It
worked."
