Paris Hilton may be known for her glamorous lifestyle, but when it comes to parenting, she’s all about setting boundaries. With her two young children, son Phoenix and daughter London, Hilton is determined to delay giving them phones and limit their exposure to social media.
In an interview at The Wall Street Journal’s The Future of Everything Festival, Hilton shared her concerns about kids having access to phones at a young age. She emphasized the negative aspects of online content and expressed her desire to protect her children from it. “I’m going to try to not have them have a phone for a while because I think it’s just… some of these kids are just getting phones at way too young of an age,” Hilton said.
As a strict mom, Hilton wants her children to grow up feeling loved, seen, and positive contributors to the world. She hopes they can experience life beyond screens and not be consumed by social media. “Kids are not going outside anymore and playing as much because everyone’s just so busy on their phones,” she added.
Despite her own fame and success on social media, with over 26 million Instagram followers and being credited as the inventor of the selfie, Hilton hopes her kids won’t be as addicted to it as she is. She wants them to have a healthier relationship with technology and prioritize real-life experiences.
Hilton has also made conscious decisions about sharing her children’s lives on her own social media channels. Understanding the public nature of her life, she chose to wait before posting photos of her children’s faces. She wanted to keep her little girl, London, to herself for a while before introducing her to the world.
So far, Hilton has shared some heartwarming family moments with her followers. From celebrating holidays to enjoying quality time together, her posts reflect the love and joy she feels as a mother. Highlights include kisses from mommy, a pink-themed Christmas celebration, trips to Disneyland, and heartfelt messages of gratitude.
As Paris Hilton embraces motherhood, she is determined to navigate the digital age with caution. By setting boundaries and prioritizing real-life experiences, she hopes to raise children who are grounded, positive, and connected to the world beyond their screens. Hilton’s approach serves as an inspiration for parents navigating the challenges of modern technology.
