Cameron Diaz spoke candidly about her experience as a mother, emphasising the need of restoring a child’s connection if a parent loses patience with them.

The former actress confesses to losing patience with her two-year-old daughter Raddix during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Diaz told Clarkson that motherhood is “the best thing I’ve ever done in life.”

When questioned about the times when parenting can be difficult, Diaz said she strives to understand what her child requires.

“Did she eat? Is she tired? What time is it? When was the last time she ate? When did she nap? You just kind of start there, and you go, ‘What just happened? Is there something she’s trying to communicate to me?'” Diaz added.

She continued: “And I feel like as a parent, my job is to just help her find the words to her emotions, her experience, what she’s going through and be able to help her identify that and move through it.”

Diaz, who has a daughter with her husband Benji Madden, also discussed the “challenging” aspects of motherhood and the need of making amends to your child if you mess up.

She said “But you know what’s also really imperative — to repair. Like if you do blow up, just to repair that and say, ‘Oh my God, mommy lost her (expletive) And, ‘I didn’t mean to say that to you. If I hurt your feelings or if I upset you, I just want you to know that mommy’s human too.'”
