Everyone knows that Suri Cruise, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ adorable little daughter leads a charmed existence.
We are constantly bombarded with one adorable picture after another of the precotious tot and her actor parents. Her upbringing as a Scientologist, however, remains largely a mystery. How does Scientology influence Suri’s life on a daily basis?
While toddler Suri Cruise is still too young to take classes at the Scientology Centre, the 18-month-old is constantly surrounded by believers, including her two nannies. Additionally, Holmes, 29, and Cruise, 45, have a hard time saying no to Suri. But it’s not simply because they’re pushovers.
“It’s all about being positive and supportive,” says the couple’s friend. As for discipline, one former church member tells that Scientologists do not scold their children, but instead explain that bad behavior (like throwing a toy) is the “wrong action.”
Cruise and Holmes, says their pal, are very lenient and do not like to give Suri too many rules: “Suri pretty much does whatever she wants, whenever she wants. If she fusses before bed, they let her stay up later. If they want her to go swimming and she cries, they’ll take her out. If she whines about food, they’ll ask her what else she wants to eat. They always want to please her.”
Nothing mysterious there – sounds like a day in the life of most typical kids!
