In a refreshingly candid revelation, Mysterious Girl singer Peter Andre has disclosed the surprisingly strict set of rules he enforces for his 16-year-old daughter, Princess, aiming to keep her grounded despite her life in the celebrity spotlight.
The doting dad, who shares Princess and her brother Junior with ex-wife Katie Price, has implemented a series of non-negotiable boundaries. At the top of the list is a firm ban on mobile phones in bedrooms, a rule Andre passionately defends in the face of modern teenage trends.
The No-Phone Zone & The 10 PM Rule
Andre's most resolute rule concerns technology. He insists that all phones are left to charge downstairs overnight, creating a tech-free sanctuary in the bedroom. This, he believes, is crucial for mental well-being and proper sleep, directly combating the anxiety and distraction caused by social media.
Complementing this is a strict 10 PM curfew. Andre believes that a clear routine and ample rest are fundamental for his daughter's health and focus, especially with the pressures of school and growing up in the public eye.
A Father's Mission to Keep Her Grounded
Speaking from a place of love and experience, Andre's rules aren't about control but about protection. He has expressed his fears about the immense pressures young girls face today, pressures magnified by having a famous mother. His parenting strategy is a conscious effort to provide a stable, normalised environment.
"I'm very strict about certain things," Andre has stated, highlighting his proactive approach to parenting a teenager in the digital age. His methods have garnered support from many parents who applaud his commitment to prioritising his child's safety and mental health over being a 'cool dad'.
While co-parenting with Katie Price, Andre has taken a definitive lead in setting these digital and social boundaries, proving that even in the glamorous world of showbusiness, some family rules are non-negotiable.
