Serena Williams, the winner of 23 Grand Slam women’s singles titles, sat for an “INBOUND” interview with Kara Swisher on Thursday. During the interview, when the host asked her to share any parenting advice, she admitted that does not have any.

It’s a digital world for kids right now.” The 42-year-old further revealed, “I’m always on with my daughter, but we don’t allow her on certain platforms.”
Williams then discussed how everything is available online and how easy it is for kids to have access to different content. She explained, “It’s so interesting that with everything available online and the access that kids have.” Continuing, she said, “In a second, you never know what can come to them. Like I said, I’m trying to think positively.”
When asked about parenting advice, Serena Williams stated, “I don’t have any [advice].” Moreover, talking about being a champion, the Olympic medalist added, “I feel like everybody’s a champion. You don’t have to be winning Wimbledon or a gold medal to be a champion… Being a champion is really just being there for your kids. I think that’s a huge champion.”
Williams also conveyed that she is trying to go slow with the electronic gadgets when it comes to her 7-year-old daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. She said, “I feel like we might try to take it slow with her and go a little bit slower with electronics.” Moreover, the mother-of-two just wants her to be a kid for as long as possible.
