Kim Kardashian West trying to be 'stricter' on kids

Kim Kardashian West is trying to be "stricter" with her children.

The 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star has admitted she's too soft on her four children North, eight, Saint, five, Chicago, three, and Psalm, two - whom she has with her estranged husband Kanye West - and usually gives into them when they ask for something, but she's determined to lay down some ground rules now that they are getting older.

Speaking in September's Parent magazine, Kim said: "When my kids want something, typically candy, they give me this look directly in my eyes that cuts right through me. I usually give in and give them what they want. I'm naturally very calm, which I think translates into my parenting. I don't get super stressed or impatient, which I think is definitely a superpower when you have three kids age five and under running around."

And the 40-year-old businesswoman loves that her children share such a strong bond because it reminds her of growing up with her siblings Kourtney, 42, Khloe, 37, and Rob, 34.

She explained: "They get along so well and have so much love for each other. It reminds me of growing up with Kourtney, Khloé and Rob. There's something so special about having a big family, and I'm happy my babies get that experience the way I did.

"It's so amazing to watch my kids grow and develop into their own people. I get the kids outside as much as possible, and I'm good at creating activities for them. They're always playing sports or working on projects."

Kim is also trying her best to keep things amicable between her and Kanye - whom she filed for divorce from in February after almost seven years of marriage - for the sake of their young children.

A source said recently: "Kanye and her have been co-parenting successfully and both of them want what's best for the kids."
