Have you wondered what the ultimate mother and housewife of Hollywood would look like? Well, she’s right here— Tamara Ecclestone. Not only are her mothering skills very unique, but she also has shown that it takes more than you might think it would to take on parenthood. It’s not an easy job where you can just lounge around all day. Tamara Ecclestone takes care of herself, her daughter, and her family as a whole. She is still very active, and of course, all of her attention goes to her daughter most of all. But one thing in particular has made this Hollywood housewife more unique than all the others! Her way of mothering has been divisive and has caused many of her fans to completely abandon her because they disagree so much.

While we don’t want to further the fight that people seem to be having about her parenting methods, many people want to know more about what plays a huge role in how she’s currently raising her daughter. Maybe people want to know more because they also want to practice this kind of parenthood, or maybe they just want to scoff at the choices of others. Overall, Tamara Ecclestone’s lavish lifestyle is shocking, over the top, and of course, full of motherly love that you don’t really see all that often in today’s world. Maybe after reading this list, we can all try to be a bit more understanding and express our opinions about someone else’s parenting methods! We can only hope.

She Wants No Separation Whatsoever

No separation whatsoever is the main key to Tamara Ecclestone’s “success” when it comes to how she chooses to parent her daughter. She believes that it’s most important for a mother to be with her child as often as possible, never leaving their side. That when you leave a child, that is when there is major separation anxiety, not when you spend so much time with them. According to Irish Examiner, “During the first three years of her daughter, Sophia’s, life, Tamara Ecclestone spent only six-and-a-half minutes apart from the child.” While this might seem a bit odd, this type of attachment parenting is actually a whole philosophy that many parents use when raising a child. Maybe not to the fullest extent, but the separation that does occur is typically always as low as possible, no matter how you customize attachment parenting for your unique lifestyle.

From what Tamara has told many reporters and individuals in the entertainment news industry, she has been giving herself completely to her daughter. She would do totally anything for her daughter and that will probably never change. Who knows, maybe this will be the best type of parenting, but of course, no one will know the answer.

She Believes In Nursing At Three Years Old

Many people had a problem with the fact that Tamara Ecclestone was nursing her child even when she was 3 to 4 years old. Many said that this was seriously wrong, that this shouldn’t be happening, and that this goes way beyond simple “free thinking." While of course when you’re getting milk from your mother it’s organic, it’s natural, and it's probably better than drinking hormone-filled cow milk, but still, it’s a bond that seems to go a bit too far when it comes to growing up in a healthy relationship with your parents.

According to The Sun, Tamara Ecclestone was seen nursing her daughter on the trailer of her new show, “Tamara, who is the daughter of Formula One tycoon, Bernie Ecclestone, has been open about her decision to continue [...] her daughter past infancy.” While it might seem a bit odd for a toddler to be nursing, it might even be a bit uncomfortable, many have spoken up and have sided with Tamara saying that it’s much healthier and natural for a child to have their mother’s milk instead of processed drinks from the store. While this might be the case, maybe just keep it in a cup instead?

She Gives Her Daughter A Consistently Lavish Lifestyle

Having an environment of any kind that stays consistent and safe is one of the most important tactics in the Tamara Ecclestone parenting rule book. She loves to spoil her child, at least, that’s what it seems from the outsider’s perspective. It seems like Tamara Ecclestone favors the higher class part of society where she lives a consistent lavish lifestyle, and she seems to want to give that to her daughter as well.

Just from this simple observation by Happiful Magazine, you can’t help but notice that Tamara Ecclestone’s daughter is living a life many children only dream of, “Judging by the supersize Queen Elsa castle and three rocking horses on display, we seem to be in a room devoted to Tamara’s three-year-old daughter, Sophia, or “Fifi” as Tamara affectionately calls her.” It really makes you wonder whether or not Tamara is just simply spoiling her daughter and hoping for the best, because having all of these material things don’t exactly scream reality or even normal for that matter, not even someone who is that rich, it just seems like a bit too much, and it might end up creating a bratty child who thinks they deserve everything they see around them.

She Gives Her Daughter Whatever She Wants

Tamara wants to also make sure that she is encouraging a loving relationship between herself and her daughter. She doesn’t want to have her daughter just grow up playing with toys and that’s her only source of interaction, love, or education. Tamara wants to introduce a balance of love and material things so her daughter can grow up healthy and balanced with a well-rounded idea of the world around her. While it’s no question that Tamara Ecclestone and her daughter are both very lucky to have all of the things they have, Tamara does seem like the kind of mother who really does push her child to become better than just some kind of spoiled, rich kid. Though many people don’t seem to have that same understanding when looking at the relationship between the two.

Even Tamara has hinted in interviews that she can be a bit of a pushover when it comes to her daughter, such as no longer caring about messes around the house when she even has OCD. But there does seem to be a balance that’s working well for the mother and daughter that’s helped Sophia grow into a little lady even at such a young age, complete with manners and love!

She Wants Her Daughter To Be Independent And Do Everything Herself

Tamara seems to believe that this specific kind of parenting that she’s engaging in is what’s needed for her child to be independent and well-rounded before they head off into the world when they’re much older. While this might be the case, it hasn’t stopped the bombardment of tweets and social media comments from flooding in, pointing fingers at Tamara about how wrong she is and how overprotective she is. Tamara Ecclestone, who has been known for having OCD, simply doesn’t seem to care about the messes her little one makes.

She wants her child to be independent and grow into a strong woman, which is presented quite well in this comment from an interview with Happiful Magazine: “Tamara doesn’t employ nannies or nursemaids, and there’s no baby entourage in the background. She does everything herself, including managing the mess. She even said, 'Since Sophia’s been a toddler, there’s mess everywhere and I’m OK with it now.'” Hopefully, this independence that Tamara seems to be supplying for her child will be the right thing to do, but of course, we will never know how all of these parenting ideas actually help Sophia until she is much older and can make choices of her own.

She Loves Her Daughter To The Point Where She Can't Be Away From Her

Creating a world around Tamara’s daughter that is safe and solid is key to having her daughter grow up into a fantastic individual. While it’s unknown how her daughter will be when she grows up, many have suggested that Tamara is just trying to control her daughter so she can manipulate her later on when she’s older and probably will have fame of her own. But some have said that this parenting relationship Tamara has with her daughter is inspiring and shows that her daughter is very well loved. Tamara has been known to suffer from separation anxiety for quite some time, according to Hello Magazine: “Tamara Ecclestone has revealed she suffers from parental separation anxiety.”

This kind of anxiety is such a huge problem because it can affect the mental health of a child, even if the parent believes they’re masking their feelings well. Hopefully, Tamara Ecclestone will continue to work on this problem she’s been facing so she can continue to build up the world she wants to for her daughter and her family. Of course, not everyone is on their side, but they do have some major support and their little family heavily supports each other as well, which probably helps in the long run.

She Believes In Co-Sleeping

Co-sleeping is also an aspect of this kind of attachment parenting that wouldn’t surprise many if they practice this as well. Whatever the bond between mother and daughter might be, this is generally a quite dangerous practice because of the serious and fatal risks, but if Tamara Ecclestone is so confident, maybe we should all just take a step away from the backseat parenting. Tamara apparently still sleeps with her daughter as well, according to The Sun, “This summer Tamara opened up about suffering from parental separation anxiety, after previously confessing she still shares the same bed as her daughter, Sophia.” Co-sleeping does give your child a bit more of that close attachment to their parents at a young age, but it’s usually looked down upon for many reasons.

But the fact remains that this kind of parenting is growing in popularity and often has been the number one choice for many new parents in recent years. Who knows, maybe this all started because of Tamara Ecclestone and her choices in motherhood. Either way, we’re sure that Tamara Ecclestone is so over hearing about how wrong her parenting is, who wouldn’t be? At least she seems to be confident in the choices that she’s making despite all the pushback.

She Tries To Create A Safe Space For The Family

No matter what you may think about Tamara and her parenting methods, you do have to commend her for making sure that the space that her daughter will be growing up in will be safe and secure. But it’s only a matter of time before we find out if she really will be able to benefit from that overprotectiveness when she’s older and can make her own choices.

According to an interview Tamara had with My Baba, Tamara and her daughter Sofia leave a great first impression: “A warm smile and a welcoming hug — not something every celeb is capable of — was immediately how Tamara welcomed me into the room. Next to her sat a quiet well-behaved 5-year-old, her daughter and inspiration for the Fifi & Friends collection, Sofia “Fifi ” Ecclestone.” This just goes to show that maybe Tamara has been right all along. Maybe Tamara has been right about the way she’s chosen to raise her child. Even though we can probably guess that no one will really care, especially since she’s had so many haters come out of hiding in the past two years due to the parenting choices made.

She Will Never Allow Smoking

One of the most important things you can do for your child is to keep them away from harmful substances and other things that might affect their health in any way. One of the biggest things in attachment parenting to be very aware of is this kind of reckless behavior around your child. A big part of attachment parenting is completely understanding that everything you do has a very direct impact on your child, especially since they’re going to be around you basically 24/7, every single moment of the day, which seems like it would be common sense that it would mean you must stop negative habits.

While Tamara takes great care of her health and her child’s health, many parents out there who use attachment parenting seem to forget that this is so important. Things such as a bad diet, no exercise, and smoking are all negative influences that need to totally be cut out of individual’s lives if they plan to be a parent, let alone if they practice attachment parenting. Tamara even takes Sophia on walks with her to encourage a healthy lifestyle that she’ll grow into and continue to live by as she becomes older as well. We’re cheering them on!

She Believes In Wearing Your Baby In A Harness

By keeping your baby close to you constantly, you grow that bond together that will supposedly last a lifetime. While she might not carry her daughter around in a harness anymore, you can always see Tamara with her daughter, no matter where she goes. Having her daughter around her all the time has changed who she is as a person, which is quite stunning to witness even on the outside looking in. She’s changed so much.

Tamara Ecclestone had this to say to My Baba in an interview: “Having my daughter changed what I was interested in and passionate about, and I always try to take on projects that I’m genuinely passionate about.” We wonder what will be next for the big time celeb. With the kind of empire she has and this new direction with her life we really have to wonder what she plans on doing next with her daughter and herself. Will she be working on new products for the Fifi & Friends empire or will she be creating brand new projects to grow and expand as well? With this new life Tamara seems to be leading we can’t exactly guess what she might do next, everything has been a surprise recently!

She Tries To Manage Her Own Worry And Panic

There are so many benefits to letting your daughter be with you almost every minute of the day. To keep it as regular as possible, this can often change many things about your life when you have your child strapped to you. But that's just another one of the sacrifices you need to be able to commit to if you want to parent like Tamara Ecclestone. Even to the point that when she first dropped her daughter off at her first day of nursery school, Tamara almost couldn’t handle it.

According to Counseling Directory, this is what she had to say: “Jay was telling me that I was a lunatic,” she said. “I was watching my phone, thinking the nursery staff are going to need me to come back.” Now that she knows her daughter can handle a day at nursery and has fun, maybe that will also help relieve some of the stress Tamara has been dealing with when it comes to her intense separation anxiety. Of course, it’s normal for a mother to feel upset about leaving their child behind at school or nursery, but it’s bound to happen and needs to happen no matter what the mother is feeling. We’re just glad that everything went well on that first day and it was a good experience for everyone involved.

She Wants Her Baby To Absorb Everything

When you have your child around you 24/7, you’re also allowing them to see everything you do, and how you choose to interact with the world around you. One of the greatest things is being able to show your children how you’re cooking and doing creative tasks, it can help inspire them and light a fire inside them that will continue to resonate even when they’re much older.

According to Closer Online, “Tamara went on to reveal that she feels 'lucky' that both herself and Jay's number one priority is their daughter and that her 36-year-old husband isn't 'fighting for attention or feeling put out.'" Which is inspiring to hear that their whole little family is on board with how the parenting has been going. It would most likely be a war of differences if Sophia’s parents weren’t so similar to each other. By having a little family supporting Sophia as she grows up, she’ll be able to really grow and feel creative every single day without the stress of disagreeing parents pushing her back to the background of the family dynamic. We can’t really ever picture that happening within this family, even as we look in from the outside. You can just tell they’re all super loving and caring every step of the way.

She Thinks Nursing Later In Life Is An Effective Calming Tool

While many people have given so much hate to Tamara about the nursing methods she plans on using, she’s not going to let anyone tell her what she should or shouldn’t be doing. She wants to continue nursing her child until her child is ready to stop. It’s something that bonds them together and it also creates a very important connection that offers nutrition and health to her child. Apparently, it also helps to calm them down as well.

Tamara has also made this comment to Counselling Directory about her method of attachment parenting that she loves so dearly: “Sophia is not craving or seeking out my attention, or worrying that she’s been abandoned.” Even though so many people are adamant about putting Tamara down for going about motherhood in this way, she has allowed herself to let that worry melt away and go about her day by her daughter’s side. She no longer cares about what people think, even if TV hosts are blatantly passive aggressive to her face. It must be a stress relief to realize that your child is confident and independent at such a young age because of how you raised them to grow up in the world today.

She Believes In Always Keeping Your Kids Close

If it hasn’t been discussed enough, we just had to go on about it one more time, because keeping her daughter close to her seems to be the overall trend to her parenting as a whole. She constantly goes on and on about how important it is to keep her child close to her for so many reasons we’ve gone over previously. Especially because they get to see everything around them constantly, giving them the chance to learn and experience so much as they grow up. When you leave a child with a babysitter or nanny, it’s so easy for them to just do what they have to and leave it at that, they don’t have that connection with your child, they won’t go above and beyond to show your child interesting things or even interact with them when they’re making food. This is one of the key reasons as to why it’s so important to Tamara Ecclestone to keep her daughter with her every second of the day. Even if people send her hate all the time, she ignores it and does what she believes is the best choice for her children, which is very inspiring in a way.

She Doesn't Listen To The Critics

When her daughter says anything, even before she could properly talk, a key point to attachment parenting is to interact with your child in a caring and understanding way, even if you’re not sure of what they said. Tamara Ecclestone has probably done this even when she was pregnant. She wants to form that special bond between her and her daughter, so showing that you’re understanding and there for your child is key to growing that even more than you might have been able to without it.

Even though Tamara has embraced the way she has decided to parent her child, even TV hosts like Lorraine Kelly have told her to let it all go. According to Daily Mail, this is what she had to say about the parenting habits of Tamara Ecclestone: “And during an appearance on Lorraine on Wednesday, she was yet again hurtled into the spotlight while discussing her attachment parenting with daughter, Sophia, three, which led to a sharp response from the Scottish host who told her to 'let go.'" Tamara responded to this TV interview by stating that women need to stop being so judgmental and hateful towards one another. There’s no reason for the judgment and hate sent her way, even if you don’t share the same opinions as her.

She Admits To Having A Lot Of Motherhood Anxiety

There are some major sacrifices you need to make when you’re a mother, which is pretty common sense, but one of the major things that Tamara Ecclestone has had to get used to maybe more than other moms, is the fact that she can’t really have a social life when raising her daughter the way she chose to do so. Social separation is something she has probably experienced, especially with the fact that she’s quite famous.

Tamara Ecclestone has dealt with a fair share of problems while being a mom, including her anxiety, which is why she needs some time for herself as well. She told Happiful Magazine, "I’ve had more anxiety since I became a mum, and it’s something I need to work on and deal with. I was never an anxious person before I had Sophia, but now I have serious anxiety about anything happening to my daughter. I’ve just got to get my head around the fact that I’m not going to be there to pick her up every time she falls over, and that’s the brutal reality." Hopefully, she finds an outlet that helps her feel more like herself again, this is so important for her life and for the life of her daughter.

She Tries To Work Through Stress With Her Daughter

When your child is upset, angry, or sad, it can be quite hard figuring out what exactly you need to do to fix this kind of situation. But one of the most important things to do when you’re involved in attachment parenting is to make sure that you’re offering support to your child. Make sure you’re encouraging your child to release those emotions and offering support for them. Don’t simply try to fix the problem or try to make them stop crying. Encourage them to figure out how they can make the situation better, even if you have to help achieve that.

But Tamara always makes sure she’s around her daughter so if her daughter is dealing with something stressful, Tamara will be able to walk her through the process. Not to the point of holding her hand while doing so, but so that she knows she won’t be alone and that her mom is there to support her, not push her away with frustration and anger. Many times, children get upset for no logical reason, that’s normal, which is why having patience and understanding goes a long way and can even change their future in how they deal with situations as well.

She Tries To Always Remain Calm, Especially When Nursing

Of course, nursing is a huge part of motherhood, but because Tamara has made the choice to extend the normal duration of nursing, she has been able to keep her child calm and relaxed whenever they are upset or majorly hyper. Whenever she nurses, her daughter is able to calm down and find that motherly comfort she needs.

According to The Sun, there have been certain tweets from many individuals hating on the fact that she still nurses her daughter, when in reality it doesn’t have to be that negative if you just try to open your mind a bit. Here is one example: "I really love the free-thinking @tamaraeccle but... I do think 3/4 is just too old sorry to anyone that disagrees #TamarasWorld." But maybe after some people give it a chance and realize that this is probably healthier for the child and it’s also the parent’s choice, people will stop being so rude and hateful towards Tamara for doing something she feels is right for her daughter. Attachment parenting can sure be a bit scary for new parents, but sometimes, you just have to give things a chance like Tamara Ecclestone has decided to do.

She Makes Sure To Not Forget Her Own Needs

When you’re a mother, sometimes it’s quite easy to just forget that you need to also spend some time on yourself. Many mothers often forget that they have their own needs and just focus on their children, which could actually end up burning them out and causing neglect later on, which is inevitable if you don’t care for yourself. Find time to rest and explore how you want to go about your day. Find ways that you want to relax and find peace and embrace those moments as often as you possibly can.

Tamara said in a My Baba interview that she often doesn’t care what people think, even if she gets negative attention regularly, “I feel like people can be really cruel, and often when people don’t feel good about themselves, they try and bring other people down. So I do bare that in mind when people say things that aren’t so nice. I definitely just feel very content and secure in who I am right now.” Nothing gets to her like it used to, she enjoys living the life she wants to live and nothing can get in the way of that, especially with her little girl by her side. She just wants to live her life and create beautiful moments with her daughter.

She Avoids Stressing Out About Work And Social Life

When you’re stressing out, it’s very common that no matter how young, your child will pick up on that stress as well. When you are constantly worried and feeling super strong emotions, it’s going to reflect on your child as well, even if they can’t speak yet! Finding a way to balance your own life as a mother and finding what will work for you so you can enjoy as much of your day as possible, every single day, is a challenge that will always be there, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to achieve that daily! Tamara has gone out of her way to set an example for many women out there in the world even if they aren’t mothers.

She continues to be herself and allows the changes she wants to see in her life. While so many people go out of their way to be rude and hateful towards her and her family, she continues to stand up for what she believes in and what she thinks is the right thing to do for her family and for her child. Who are we to judge how a mother decides to parent a child? Because of how content she is with herself, maybe this will inspire her to work towards chilling out and enjoying her family. No one needs that much stress in their life. Maybe she will even have a social life again!
