Angelina Jolie doesn't lecture kids

Angelina Jolie doesn't like to "lecture" her children.

The 'Salt' actress - who raises six kids, Maddox, 10, Pax, eight, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, with partner Brad Pitt - explained while she likes to educate her brood about her work with refugees around the world, she doesn't tell them to think in a set way.

She said: "I'm not one of those moms who kind of lectures my kids. But I do tell them, whenever I go on a trip, where I'm going and why.

"And on some occasions, they've come with me to different refugee camps. And they also go to their home countries a lot."

With Maddox, Pax and Zahara being adopted from Cambodia, Vietnam and Ethiopia respectively, Angelina admitted she is keen for her offspring to see the world outside the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.

She told People magazine: "Hopefully they live in the world, and they see the world really as it is, outside of Hollywood.

"If they really live in the world and spend time with friends around the world from all different types of backgrounds, they will just see things as they are."
