Brooke Shields recently shared her experiences reconnecting with her daughters, Rowan and Grier, as they transition into adulthood. On the TODAY show, Shields discussed the challenges of adapting to the new versions of her daughters, who have developed new friendships and personalities in college. She highlighted the need for patience and grace, acknowledging that this reintroduction process won't be easy. Jenna, her co-host, appreciated the idea of parents and children getting to know each other anew as they grow.
"For your whole life, I've told you what to do, what to eat, when to eat, clothing, who your friends are... Now I'm meeting you, so you have got to give me a bit of a grace period."
"I think it's a beautiful thing for parents and kids to reintroduce themselves to one another once a child reaches adulthood."
"They expect you to know all their friends immediately and be best friends with them. And I was like, 'I don't know this sense of humor that you now have, these inside jokes.'"
"It's not going to be a seamless process, I had to tell Grier that I needed time to get to know the young lady she's become."
