The majority of Princess Kate’s work is around early childhood development, and it is said to influence how she approaches being a mother.
One royal expert said Kate’s parenting methods are rather revolutionary, where there is “mutual respect, understanding and patience” between parent and child.
Jennie Bond explained how this “radical new way of parenting” is “about exploring the child’s own feelings, confusions and anguish” and “allowing them to lead the way”.
“It is about letting them express those emotions and sitting down to discuss them with the child, rather than ignoring the turmoil that growing up so often involves,” she told OK!.
“It is fantastic and I believe Catherine will very much be the leader in this and William will be the follower, he will have been learning from Catherine how to be a different kind of parent.”

Jennie said this parenting style is “all about positivity” and encourages children to become “rounded young people”.
“The other important word is preventative, which Kate has used a lot, and she believes in so strongly,” she continued, expressing an aim to try and “prevent so much mental anguish turmoil or addictive habits or various troubles that might come along in adulthood”, by dealing with emotions in the early years of a child’s life.
As for how this outlook might influence how Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are being raised, Jennie said she believes they are being brought up with “mutual respect, good manners” with Kate and William “explaining why good manners are important and that kindness begets kindness and that inclusivity should be natural”.
“But perhaps most importantly giving her children all of the time that she can,” Jennie added.
“We’re all pressed, we’re all rushing, and she has a huge job, but she gives them as much time as she can to sit down with them, discuss their problems and play with them and just be with them.”
Katie Nicholl previously revealed Kate and William’s desire to be “hands-on parents”, whilst juggling royal duties.
But during an interview with Giovanna Fletcher for her podcast Happy Mum, Happy Baby, Kate opened up about family life.
When asked if she felt mum guilt, the Princess of Wales replied: “Yes absolutely – and anyone who doesn’t as a mother is actually lying.”
She explained that being a parent is “a constant challenge” and she feels guilty when her children ask her why she does not always drop them off at school.
