Kondo previouslyspoke to PEOPLE about parenting, specifically about giving “up on perfectionism” and how she reacts when her daughters act up.
“I take the time to listen. Once they’ve calmed down, I ask them what’s bothering them and then, to let them know I understand, I say, ‘So that made you sad,’ or ‘That’s what you didn’t like.’ I try to honor their feelings,” said Kondo, who also said chaos is part of parenthood and “it’s quite natural for kids to have tantrums — when they do, they do!”
