Megan Fox Teaches Her Kids That Plants Have Feelings
Say what you want about Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green, but they’re incredible parents.
Together, they are teaching their three sons — Journey River, 3, Bodhi Ransom, 5, and Noah Shannon, 7 — to be themselves, no matter what that may be.
“It’s about releasing control, right? That’s all it is,” Megan told People magazine. “It’s [about] allowing them to be who they are and relinquishing control, because they were born to be who they are, and it’s my job to support that process, not to get involved and micromanage and mold them into what I think they should be.”
“It’s [about] being of that mindset of realizing that they come as the teachers to us,” the actress continued. “We’re here to keep them alive, but we’re learning all the lessons from them.”
Furthermore, Megan says that they are also teaching the boys how to respect the environment.
“We send them to an organic, sustainable, vegan school where they’re seed-to-table, they plant their own food,” she told the outlet. “They grow it, they harvest it and they take it to local restaurants to sell it, so they understand how all of that works.”
“I’m very specific about never harming animals,” she said. “We don’t step on ants; we don’t do things like that. We don’t rip flowers out of the ground, because we think they’re beautiful. I teach them that plants are sentient beings — they have feelings, thoughts and emotions — so that’s what we’re doing.”
Oh my! Clearly Megan is doing a great thing by teaching them to love the planet, but can it go too far? Let us know in the comments below.
