"We try to travel with the kids every summer somewhere where we just say we're going to pick a place on the globe and we're not going to know the language, we're not going to know the smells, we're not going to know what the food is like," Bell shared during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. "We're just going to see how other people live and we'll observe." This mindset emphasizes the importance of experiential learning through travel, expanding their children's horizons.
"The hack is when we went to Copenhagen, we stayed at this hotel that was right at Tivoli Gardens, which is like a seven-acre theme park," she said. "The hotel opens up into the theme park and so we just were kind of like, 'Are we going to free-range parenting and roll the die here?' They woke up at, like, 6 every morning. They scanned their bracelets to go outside. [We] didn't see them for seven hours. Just running around Copenhagen." This illustrates their unique approach to parenting while enjoying personal downtime.
"It was heaven," she said. "We just had coffee. We played Spades, and then around 3, we'd be like, 'Anybody see them?' And then one of them would run up and need a Band-Aid or whatever." This not only captures the joy of parenthood but also underlines the unconventional yet liberating aspects of parenting during their vacation.
