Shaquille O'Neal and Steph Curry's moms, Dr. Lucille O'Neal and Sonya Curry, discuss their parenting styles
Leading up to the release of "Raising Fame," hosted by Shaquille O'Neal and Steph Curry's moms, Dr. Lucille O'Neal and Sonya Curry, the duo has been making appearances in the media.
Earlier in the week, prior to Wednesday's red carpet event, the pair appeared on New York Live TV to promote the show. During the interview, the two moms spoke about their different approaches to parenting.
With Shaquille O'Neal's adoptive father, Sgt. Phillip Arthur Harrison, serving as the disciplinarian in their household, Dr. Lucille O'Neal took a much more easygoing approach to her parenting.
"I would say. That my parenting style is easy. I've always been the buffer, not the disciplinarian so much, but the easygoing one. I kind of just take both sides and just ease the pressure along the way."
On the flip side, Sonya Curry explained that in the Curry house, she was the disciplinarian. Her husband at the time, Dell Curry, was extensively traveling for his NBA career at the time. Therefore, she took two roles, one as a mom, and one as an educator who founded the school her kids attended.
"I'm the enforcer, and I'm an educator. So, you know, when do you turn the teacher off? When you come from the school to go into the house. And so my kids had double duty. They went to our school that I founded and ran as head of school, and then they had to come home."
Sonya Curry explained that because of that she had to learn how to turn off the educator side at home. Given the difference in parenting styles of both women, it will be interesting to see their perspectives on Raising Fame.
