The gifted actor Michael J. Fox is well-known for his film appearances in addition to being a devoted parent.
Together with Tracy Pollan, his wife of more than 30 years, he has four children. In a lighthearted Reader’s Digest interview, Fox admitted that there are moments when he feels like he has five kids instead of four!
Being there for his children at all times is something that Fox really believes in. He gave some parenting advise, suggesting that if you ask your children to wait a few minutes before you listen to them, those few minutes could end up becoming fifteen or twenty, by which time the opportunity may have passed. He has never been let down by his attempts to be there for his kids.
Even after receiving a Parkinson’s disease diagnosis in 1991, Fox has always supported his children. He discussed how they have acquired empathy, resilience, and the capacity to set priorities for the things in life that are actually important in a 2009 interview.
