AceShowbiz - "Maleficent" star Angelina Jolie worries non-stop about whether she's making the right choices for her kids.
The Oscar-winning actress - who shares Maddox, 20, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 15, and 13-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox with her ex-husband Brad Pitt - often doubts her mothering skills.
"I'm not a perfect parent by any means. Every day I feel like I'm more aware of everything I don't do right. And I'm pretty tough on myself, because I feel often, 'Am I doing the right thing? Did I say the right thing?' " she tells People
Jolie is loving watching her kids as they grow up and develop their own unique personalities.
"I have six very individual human beings in my home. I am so excited about all the different stages and feelings and curiosities that they go through. Why wouldn't you be?" she says.
"We're supposed to help them figure out who they are. And you can't figure out who they are if you don't enthusiastically develop with them."
Angelina also thinks her children have had "a very significant effect on each other."
"They're pretty great people, and because there's so many of them, I think they've had a very significant effect on each other. It's not like I'm the head of anything. I'm very honest with my kids. And I'm very human with my kids."
Earlier this month, her five youngest children supported their mum on the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of her Marvel movie "Eternals". Zahara and Shiloh also joined Angelina at the premiere in Rome, Italy.
