Khloé Kardashian is opening up about a parenting challenge many can relate to—helping her daughter handle jealousy.
The Kardashians star recently appeared on Jay Shetty’s podcast, On Purpose. During the conversation, she talked about how her daughter True, 7, sometimes struggles with feeling jealous around her cousins
“I have so many nieces and nephews, and three of them are the same age,” she explained. “It’s True, Kylie’s daughter, and Kim’s daughter. ”
She continued, “And sometimes that’s challenging because they each want the same thing all the time. And I sort of like that, ‘cause I like to say, just ’cause someone has that doesn’t mean you get to have that. And those are smaller lessons, but you learn that later in life, so much bigger.”
She also spoke about her own experience with comparison.
She said, “And you can be inspired by others or motivated by others. But the jealousy or the comparison is something that we – or I have even — had to retrain my brain to not always look at someone and be like, ‘Well, why don’t I have that? Or how can I get like it?’ You should be more from a motivational way as opposed to an envious way.”
The Kardashians reality star has been very open and candid about wanting her daughter to continue growing up seeing her cousins as siblings.
“It’s amazing. I just pray it never stops. They all think they’re, like, weirdly brother and sisters,” the mother-of-two told E! News at the time. Kardashian added of her sister Kim Kardashian’s son Psalm, “I think True thinks, we call Psalm ‘baby Psalm,’ so she’s always like, ‘My brother!’ And I just don’t correct her because I think it’s so cute.”
Khloe shares her two children, True, 7, and Tatum, 2, with NBA basketball star, Tristan Thompson.
