Kristen Bell Explains Why Her Five Year Old Daughter Is Still Wearing Nappies

Proving yet again she’s one of the most relatable stars in Hollywood, Kristen Bell has opened up about toilet training her children.

During an episode of Momsplaining with Kristen Bell, the 39-year-old actress revealed her five-year-old daughter Delta was ‘still in diapers’.

‘My oldest daughter, at 21 months, we merely suggested that she use the toilet in the other room and [she] never wore another diaper beyond that,’ Kristen said of seven-year-old Lincoln.

My favorite person has written my favorite book!! Glennon Doyle’s UNTAMED is an anthem for women today. It speaks to so many female truths and it’s available through @bookofthemonth , which helps readers discover the best new books every month. I haven’t stopped talking about this book since I read it.

‘We were lying in bed giggling about this, my husband and I, like, “Why does everyone make a big deal out of this potty training? It’s so easy. Just tell the kid to use the toilet,”’ she recalled to her friends, Maya Rudolph and Casey Wilson.

‘Currently, my youngest is 5½, still in diapers,’ she continued.

I am raising women who are not afraid to disagree. Not for disagreements sake, but rather to use their voice when they need to. To not be afraid to speak up and be clear when they have something valuable to add. To participate. To lean in. To be insightful and lead with kindness. To use their gut and ethics to make decisions that sometimes fall outside the lines or buck the system. To be, as @adamgrant says "a disagreeable giver who challenges the status quo in order to improve it." A few weeks ago I bought them RBG dissent collars. (Mainly so I could know when they are feeling particularly disagreeable, they'd put it on in the morning so I'd have a heads up). Now they wear them with pride, like strong females who know when they can add their point of view, with confidence. I'm very proud to be a mother to these two. Thank you @daxshepard for being the magic ingredient to their recipe. I'm forever grateful. Happy mothers day to all the moms out their with disagreeable kids. We are gonna be so grateful for their confidence the day they start to run the world.

‘It’s real relative, isn’t it?’

With Kristen responding, ‘Yes, because every kid is so different.’
