Speaking with PEOPLE in 2019, Richards opened up about parenting her three girls and Eloise’s special needs.
“I’m most proud of raising my kids, especially in a time that is very different from how I was raised,” said Richards. “It’s extremely hard to keep children grounded. This is not an easy time to grow up.”
“Every child is different,” she said. “You take care of your children no matter what is going on with them. I don’t know if [Eloise] is ever going to talk like a typical child.But as a parent, you want what’s best for your children, and you just do it.”
