“It’s hard. You know, there are different demons on every level. For me, it’s just putting things into context. I don’t have the ability to stop them or protect them from what they’re exposed to. You can’t. There’s no way.

“I can put it in context, and I think that’s where I’ll do the best I can. And ultimately, their mother and I will hopefully be able to help them be alone.” “Wise decisions that lead them to a situation where they can continue to thrive and help encourage others to do the same.” You will be able to make decisions,” Ziering continued.

“My little one, Pena, she’s so dramatic,” he said. “She loves participating in school plays. If it helps her with a career in the entertainment industry, I’ll support it.”

Ziering said her eldest daughter, Mia, is different from her younger sister.
“The other Mia likes music and she likes architecture. It’s a completely different skill set,” he said. “Whatever she prefers, I’ll support it, but whatever they choose, I’m going to make sure they have a plan B.”
Ian spoke to FOX News Digital on March 29 at the Los Angeles Mission’s Easter Sunday Celebration. She and her two daughters, Denise Richards and Nick Cannon, were preparing meals for the homeless.

“I think it’s important to give back. If I wasn’t a celebrity, I’d probably still be here. I’m not really happy with that title,” he said. “But acknowledging that, this is a very good way to be an example to some and an inspiration to others. Show them that it can be very rewarding, even if it is, it’s very noble and it means a lot to the other person receiving it.”
