Kevin Costner shares how to parent the kids

Kevin Costner is a proud dad of seven kids and he says it is important to do what you preach.

Ahead of his The West series on History Channel, the actor told Fox News Digital that he opened up about his teaching style: "I don't know, the advice thing. I'd like them to see how I do my work. I take it seriously."

"I'm a public school guy. I was often not at the wrong end of the bell curve. There was too much math, and there was not enough history. And I was made to feel like a dumbbell," he added.

The Yellowstone star continued, "Because if you don't do well in that thing, you're a dumbbell. So, I always thought I was a daydreamer. I think I don't know what advice I give them." 

"Other than I hope they can find that yellow brick road, you know, to land on it and have the courage to go forward and don't let the economics drive their decisions in their lives. Find what they love," he noted.

Kevin has been married twice. He has three kids with ex-wife Cindy Silva and as well as with Christine Baumgartner. The Academy-winning actor also has a kid with former partner Bridget Rooney.
