Melania Trump is stepping into the spotlight with heartfelt advice for parents, drawing from her own experiences raising her 18-year-old son, Barron.
In a recent appearance on Fox & Friends promoting her new memoir, Melania, the former First Lady encouraged parents to “lead with love” and reminded them to prioritize their own mental and emotional well-being to prevent passing unresolved issues onto their children.
“Make sure that you, as a mother, are healed,” she advised, emphasizing that a parent’s inner peace plays a key role in the healthy development of their children.
The former fashion model and mother of one stressed that each child is unique, encouraging parents to recognize and nurture each child’s individuality. “Take a child as individual. We are all different,” she shared, underscoring her belief in parenting with patience, understanding, and a deep appreciation for each child’s unique personality.
Reflecting on the “incredible amount of strength” it takes to be a parent, she highlighted the privilege of being able to support children as they navigate the world, and she described the deep emotional bond between mother and child as one of motherhood’s most powerful gifts.
Melania also addressed her recent appearance at former President Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, where she defended her husband amid criticisms comparing him to Adolf H****r.
Democrats and some media figures criticized the rally’s tone, pointing to controversial remarks made by some speakers. Melania firmly rejected the comparisons, calling them “terrible” and adding that Trump’s supporters rally behind him out of a shared desire to see America succeed.
“He is not H****r,” she insisted, reinforcing her stance that Trump’s supporters are motivated by patriotism and a vision for a stronger nation.
A rare appearance at the rally venue underscored her support for her husband’s campaign and love for New York City. Melania described Madison Square Garden as an “incredible place” that brought her back to New York, a city she says she adores, and noted that she felt people wanted to hear from her directly.
