Chrissy Teigen Talks about How She Teaches Her Kids to ‘Give Back’

Chrissy Teigen is very active on social media, which makes her an easy target for detractors, especially the ones who question her parenting style. She’s known to us all for her witty clap backs to negative comments, which makes us wonder what those people would say about the model and TV personality’s choice of teaching her kids the importance of sharing their blessings.

John Legend’s better half opened up to ET about the important lesson that she wants to share with her kids, Luna, 3, and Miles, who is now 1. Teigen and Legend teach the lesson of sharing by having their kids participate in donation drives, whenever they can, for organizations like Baby2Baby. Teigen mentioned that whenever she gathers things to give away, Luna knows about it and is excited to share them with other people. She pointed out the value of more privileged children like Luna, in starting to pay it forward at a young age. The former model was proud to co-host City Harvest’s 2019 Gala, as she believes in the nonprofit organization. It is by far the largest food rescue organization in New York that feeds around 1.2 million needy New Yorkers. every year.

Teigen and Legend are big supporters of the organization, with the Lip Sync Battles co-host reminding us that her husband had performed many times at its gala. Nevertheless, it’s not just the yearly event that Teigen is excited about; she supports City Harvest all year long. She mentioned that the organization is her favorite and one that is close to her heart.

Teigen first came to prominence when she made her debut in the 2010 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Before the mother of two hosted the famous show Lip Sync Battles, she had special shows on the Cooking Channel, was the food stylist in Tyra Banks’ lifestyle show FABLife, and has authored 2 cookbooks.
