Angelina Jolie is quarantining with her six children--Maddox, 18, Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 13, and 11-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne--in Los Angeles.
Speaking about parenting during quarantine, Jolie explained, "Like most parents, I focus on staying calm so my children don't feel anxiety from me on top of all they are worrying about. I put all my energy into them."
The actress also spoke about a family pet that passed away during isolation. "During the lockdown, Vivienne's bunny passed away during a surgery, and we adopted two sweet little ones who are disabled."
She continued, "They need to be in pairs. They are so gentle and it has helped to focus on their care with her at this time and on the dogs, and snakes and lizard."
In April, the actress also opened up about her experience homeschooling her children.
Speaking to Time, she explained, "We're all locked in, we're doing all right… Well, the two things that affect children from my view the most being out of school is of course, education, and the challenges of education."
Jolie continued, ""Now, in the midst of this pandemic, I think of all the mothers and fathers with children at home. All hoping they can do everything right, answer all needs, and stay calm and positive. One thing that has helped me is to know that's impossible."
