Michael Phelps reflects on the importance of the dinner tradition and the emotional growth of his children
The Baltimore, Maryland native, grew up with his two sisters and mother, Deborah Sue Phelps. His parents got divorced when he was nine years old, which left a profound impact on him while growing up.
He discovered his passion for swimming when he was seven years old and went on to become the greatest swimmer of his generation. During his interview with PEOPLE four years ago, Michael Phelps shared his thoughts regarding his family's dinner tradition. He added,
“As a kid, I always wanted to have dinner as a family but with my parents separated, that didn't happen often. I love how we have dinner every night together at the same exact time.”
The swimmer also reflected on teaching his kids the correct path to navigate negative emotions. He mentioned,
“They talk about their emotions. It gives me a lot of hope. I just want them to be as prepared as they can be.”
Phelps has won the World Swimmer of the Year Award eight times and the American Swimmer of the Year Award eleven times throughout his distinguished career in swimming.
