When it comes to parenting her three kids,Kate Hudsonis trying a different approach with each of them.

Speaking about the age differences between her three kids, Hudson says she’s very much still “in it” when it comes to parenting.

“I’m in it. I’m even still in it with Ryder, you know. That age, like first year in college and trying to find your feet, can be really scary for moms and dads,” Hudson admits. “Because you’re like, ‘Don’t go too crazy too soon. Just walk into that college and just chill the f— out.’ I don’t want him to get too excited.”

The proud mom says that watching her son thrive has been interesting since she has three kids at very different ages.

“So now it’s kind of like, alright, well, I feel like I think I know what I’m doing,” she admits. “But they’re all so different. So the way I have to raise Ryder is so different from how I’m raising Bing and Rani. It’s interesting.”

“He’s like, ‘I got to figure out what my life is going to look like and how I’m going to achieve the things I want to achieve and how I can live,’ " Hudson told the outlet.

“I think you should be teaching your kids those things way earlier on so that when they get to that point, they’re not like, ‘Oh my god, how do I afford my life and not lean on my family?'”
