"Notably, Dax acknowledged that there's certainly "value" to kids having good manners growing up. However, he said he cares more about raising his girls to feel comfortable challenging adults than forcing them to be "respectful." "They do talk back, and they are not respectful," the 50-year-old said, defending their behavior. "I can understand where that seems completely unruly, but I want you to know what I'm prioritizing, which is when they're 19 and their boss is a fucking creep, I want them to talk back.""
"'She said it very kindly, but she's basically like, they're kind of shook with how our daughters will talk back to us or to anybody because it's very un-Southern, right?' Dax said, per People, referring to his and Kristen Bell's daughters, 12-year-old Lincoln and 10-year-old Delta. 'She's like, 'Yeah, your kids will let it rip.' They seem to have no kind of respect, is what she was saying. And feeling a little entitled.'"
"Back in July, Dax Shepard revealed that he thinks it's "OK" for his daughters to curse. And now, he's back with another unconventional parenting take. On a recent episode of Dax's Armchair Expert podcast, the host told a story about a family trip to Nashville, where one of his friends called out his two kids' lack of respect towards other adults."
A family trip to Nashville prompted criticism about two young daughters' perceived lack of respect toward adults. The parent acknowledged value in good manners but emphasized prioritizing teaching the daughters, ages 12 and 10, to feel comfortable challenging adults rather than enforcing deference. The parent defended instances of talking back as preparation for confronting inappropriate authority, expressing a preference for daughters who will speak up against a 'creep' boss. The parent said they are willing to tolerate embarrassing public behavior to foster advocacy and confidence in their daughters.
