Feeling good in your skin! Bryce Dallas Howard<\/strong><\/a> doesn\u2019t have time for body shaming or Hollywood weight-loss pressures \u2014 and that goes for her kids, too.<\/p>\n \u201cIn my household, \u2018dieting\u2019 is a dirty word,\u201d Howard, 41, exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> on Friday, December 9, while promoting her partnership with Oral-B<\/a>. \u201cLike, everyone knows that dieting and any kind of [negative] critiques of oneself that you wouldn\u2019t give to another [aren\u2019t OK].\u201d<\/p>\n The Jurassic World<\/em><\/a> star, who shares son Theodore, 15, and daughter Beatrice, 10<\/a>, with husband Seth Gabel<\/strong>, explained that her family is focused on body positivity<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m just not gonna tolerate my kids treating themselves disrespectfully,\u201d Howard told Us<\/em>. \u201cBecause I wouldn\u2019t tolerate my kids treating anyone else disrespectfully.\u201d<\/p>\n The Help<\/em> actress<\/a> noted that \u201cculturally what\u2019s been cultivated is this environment of judgment\u201d and \u201ccritique.\u201d She feels that society tells people, \u201c\u2019We don\u2019t want you, we want less than you,\u2019\u201d which doesn\u2019t sit well in her and her loved ones.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s not something that I echo in my household or allow to be a part of a conversation,\u201d the Dads<\/em> director<\/a> said. \u201cWe do things that are supportive of our health and we don\u2019t try to change things that cannot be changed [or] that is actually in contradiction with our health.\u201d<\/p>\n The As You Like It<\/em> star<\/a>\u2019s sunny outlook on wellness extends to dental care, which has been amplified by her Oral-B iO9 toothbrush<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI care about my health. But the only thing that I care about more than my health is the health of my loved ones,\u201d Howard told Us<\/em>. \u201cAnd we all know how important oral hygiene is. We all know how not fun that is to talk about. As a parent, as someone who cares about the longevity of my parents and siblings and kids and husband, I love the Oral-B iO9 because it makes brushing your teeth fun and effective.\u201d<\/p>\n The Lady in the Water<\/em> actress confessed that it might seem like a \u201chard sell\u201d tactic, but for her the toothbrush has been a \u201cgame changer.\u201d<\/p>\n She revealed that the instrument actually tells the user \u201cwhat kind of brushing experience you\u2019re having\u201d and if you need to make changes.<\/p>\n \u201cIt also tells you when you\u2019re brushing too hard [or] you\u2019re brushing too soft,\u201d Howard added. \u201cIt\u2019s like the Goldilocks of toothbrushes.\u201d<\/p>\n The addition of the Oral-B iO9<\/a> has also come in handy for the Rocketman<\/em> star ahead of the holidays because sweets are a big part of her family\u2019s traditions<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWe decorate cookies. We have a whole day that we dedicate to it and it\u2019s largely driven by my mom [Cheryl Howard<\/strong>],\u201d Bryce told Us<\/em>. \u201cAnd we make all the cookies in advanced and then it\u2019s like a decorating party and we all get together and it\u2019s really fun and it gets a little competitive.\u201d<\/p>\n The Restless<\/em> producer pointed to her father, Ron Howard<\/strong><\/a>, as one of the \u201cstrong\u201d competitors each year. \u201cHe\u2019s got good cookie-decorating game. He\u2019s creative and he has good small motor skills,\u201d she joked.<\/p>\n With reporting by Christina Garibaldi<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
