Jessica Alba is a strict mother.
The 'Sin City' star thinks it's important her daughters Honor, six, and Haven, three, whom she has with her husband Cash Warren, know the importance of acting like ladies in public.
She said: "I talk about what's appropriate and what's now. Like, if you're going to wear a skirt - even with bloomers - you've got to sit like a lady, you know?"
The 33-year-old actress is also determined her children grow up feeling confident about themselves and doesn't want them to feel under pressure to look a certain way from society.
She told Us Weekly magazine: "My mother is a confident woman. The emphasis was always about inner beauty when I was growing up. I tell my girls how beautiful they are and just how much I love them. They have phenomenal tummies. I squeeze and kiss them all the time."
Meanwhile, the blonde beauty, who has her own eco-friendly brand The Honest Company, admits she hates being away from her girls when she's got work commitments.
She previously: "It sucks. I want to just be home. I just try to do the best I can and try to surround them with love and support when I can't be there. It's tough because you obviously want to be home with them, but it's also important that we're here at the company."

Adele has finished work on her third album.
The 'Skyfall' singer has been busy in the studio, and fans won't have to wait long for her much-anticipated new record with reports it has been completed and is ready for release.
A source told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: "The album is written, recorded and finished. Theoretically it could be released tomorrow if she wanted."
It is said Adele and her label are considering bringing out the album with little fanfare and no "publicity campaign", in a similar way to how Beyonce released her self-titled record earlier this year.
The insider added: "The plan is to release internationally on iTunes as a complete surprise without any previous promotion or build-up publicity campaign.
"The shock tactics worked amazingly well for Beyonce and the feeling is Adele's new album is so widely anticipated it doesn't need a long promotional build-up."
The project is still being kept a closely-guarded secret, with no release date set for the album - which will be the follow-up to '21', which sold almost 30 million copies worldwide.

'Blackadder' actress Patsy Byrne has died aged 80.
The veteran star - who played Nursie in the second series of the iconic comedy - passed away on June 17 at Denville Hall retirement home in London.
The official 'Blackadder' Facebook page is among those who have paid tribute to the late actress - who died less than a month after her co-star Rik Mayall - describing her as an "amazing" talent.
The page said: "Very saddened to hear that Blackadder has lost another amazing actor.
"RIP Patsy Byrne AKA Nursie AKA Bernard. You and Flashheart can flirt for an eternity now."
Although most famous for her role in 'Blackadder II', Patsy had a varied career both on stage and television.
As well as roles in Liverpool-based show 'Watching', and 'David Copperfield', she also appeared on children's programme 'Playdays', and her last credit was 'Holby City' in 2006.

The presenter was rumoured to be in line to replace Sir Bruce Forsyth on BBC's 'Strictly Come Dancing', but bosses have done all they can to keep him on the channel.
An insider told the Sunday People newspaper: "Vernon is one of the key stars on the channel and they want him to have more airtime.
"He is adored by viewers and is fast establishing himself as one of a handful of top entertainment presenters.

The source added: "The pilot went really well and now everyone is looking forward to the new series.
"He will undoubtedly become the king of the daytime television."
However, Vernon has admitted in the past he would have loved the opportunity to replace Bruce on 'Strictly'.
He previously said: "That question always makes me laugh. When someone says, 'Would you like to co-host the most successful show on British TV at the moment', who is going to say no?
"What idiot is going to say, 'I do not want to host a Saturday night prime-time show on the BBC that averages 11.5million viewers a week?' "

Kim Kardashian threw a lavish festival party for baby North's first birthday.
The reality TV star's daughter - with husband Kanye West - turned one on June 15, and the whole family got together this weekend for the inaugural 'Kidchella' event.
After they shared pictures on Instagram, it's clear the Kardashian family spared no expense for the little girl as they put on a festival based on trendy art-and-music extravaganza Coachella.
Activities included everything from face painting and hair-braiding to temporary tattoos and fairground rides.
Guests were able to hang out in tepees at Kourtney Kardashian's home in Calabasas, California, while a Ferris wheel was set up for everyone to enjoy.
There were also small stalls, picnic benches, stages and a bouncy castle at the party.
Kim recently opened up about her parenting, admitting she is "strict" with North but still manages to be "fun and playful" at the same time.
She previously said: "I am a strict mother. I'm really fun and playful, but I'm really strict on nap time, and sleeping in her own crib.

"And maybe on weekends, [North will] come and sleep in the bed with us. But ... I'm not crazy strict."

Liam Gallagher terrified Kasabian when he started play fighting with them during a helicopter flight.
The 'Eez-eh' hitmakers bonded with the rocker when they supported his band Oasis during their run of hometown gigs at Manchester's Heaton Park in 2009.
They got on so well that guitarist Serge Pizzorno and singer Tom Meighan were taken to Scotland for lunch in the helicopter with Liam but decided to be mischievousness.
Serge said: "On the way back, Tom and Liam started play-fighting, rocking the thing, screaming. I'm sitting there going 'Maaaate!' This ain't like the back of a car, man, we're f***ing miles in the air. This rain starts coming down and the captain goes, 'Right, we've gotta land because the weather's terrible.' Liam's like, 'We're not landing, man, just drive through it!' - in the end we had to land. We had to emergency land in this airport."
The stars then went back to their hotel and Serge and Tom were still starstruck after spending time with Liam.
Serge gushed to NME magazine: "Liam's such an amazing dude. He's funny and proper looks after us. Those gigs were unbelievable."

David Hasselhoff thinks it's funny when people mistake him for other celebrities.
The 61-year-old star admits that despite being known worldwide for his roles in cult series 'Baywatch' and 'Knight Rider' he still gets mistaken for other celebrities.
He said: "I was stopped by a lady who said, 'I loved you in 'Little House on the Prairie' and 'Bonanza'. She thought I was Michael Landon!"
Not only has David - who is dating Welsh beauty Hayley Roberts, 34 - been mistaken for the veteran actor, who passed away at the age of 54 in 1991, he's also been confused with American football star Dan Marino.
He added to BANG Showbiz: "And then there's another, a football player, the guy from Miami Dolphins, Dan Marino.
"Dan Marino is a huge quarterback in America, I guess he retired like four years ago, and I used to call him Hasselhoff or Hollywood and I was on an airplane and everyone wanted me to come over and sign footballs. I signed footballs, 'David Hasselhoff Marino'.

Chris Martin is helping Alexa Chung launch a music career.
The Coldplay star is believed to have met up with the 30-year-old model in New York last month, where she played him songs she had been working on and the 37-year-old singer - who split from wife Gwyneth Paltrow earlier this year - was impressed enough to offer to use his contacts to get her started.
A source told Heat magazine: "He listened to a demo album of tracks, which he played to his Coldplay bandmates and his producer contacts, and has already set up meetings for her with his Coldplay record label, Parlophone, as well as his friend Jay Z's Roc Nation record label.
The model-turned-presenter first became interested in making a name for herself in the music industry while she was dating Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner - who she was with for four years until July 2011 - but worried that it would be "career suicide" if her attempt was unsuccessful.
The source explained: "She was on the verge of doing something when she was going out with Alex Turner, but instead she decided to move to New York and continue to write and work on her music. The last thing she wanted to do was launch herself into the music world and be a flop, which she knew would be career suicide."
