If you ask us, parents should be celebrated every single day, after all they are on call 24/7. However, today, June 1, which marks the Global Day of Parents, is the perfect time to tell them you care.

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have an unconventional method of parenting. Need proof? The good-looking couple trigged unending debates when they proudly revealed they don’t bathe their kids every day – only when they are ‘really dirty’. Many people came up with pros and cons. They won hearts when they told everyone not to give them Christmas gifts. Instead, they asked people to donate planned gifts to charity. Here’s to the couple for thinking of a good way to pay it forward to society. Image Credit: Insta/ kunismilaonline

Angelina Jolie: This actor is all about the individual. She homeschooled all her children and they were allowed to pursue a more unconventional education where they pursued their interests. "I do think we live in a different age and the education system hasn't caught up with our children and our way of life," she told ‘The Independent’ in 2011. "But we travel and I'm the first person to say, 'Get the schoolwork done as quickly as possible because let's go out and explore'. I'd rather them go to a museum and learn to play guitar and read and pick a book they love." Image Credit: Insta/ angelinajolie

Mayim Bialik: The Big Bang Theory star Mayim Bialik loved the attachment parenting approach so much that she wrote a whole book about it.

Jennifer Garner: Sometimes you have to let your kids run a bit wild. Jennifer Garner does a 'Yes Day' where her children can do whatever they want one day of the year. and it allows the kids to go wild one day in the year.

Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith: This couple has been in the headlines over many events, and in terms of parenting style, too, they faced a lot of backlash. The couple revealed in 2013 that they followed a ‘hands-off’ parenting style, letting their children Willow and Jaden Smith make their own decisions as much as possible, and they ‘didn’t do punishment’. Supporters of the parenting style got into the debate saying that such a style would let children make their own mistakes and learn from them to pursue productive passions and habits. Despite negative headlines aimed at the couple and the children, the Smiths stood by their parenting choices. Image Credit: Insta/ jadapinkettsmith

Kylie Jenner: Kylie Jenner's parenting style is one of financial indulgence. Being the first-born to one of the richest influencers in the world comes with unique perks. Stormi, Jenner’s three-year old, has been photographed wearing diamond jewelry and has a closet full of designer clothes, and her very own miniature designer handbags. The mother of two is known to spend lavishly on her daughter’s over-the-top birthday parties as well. Image Credit: Insta/kyliejenner

Gordon and Tana Ramsay: The ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ host and his wife are all about teaching their kids the value of working hard – and that means not handing over perks such as first class flight tickets. Gorden told The Telegraph in 2017, "They don’t sit with us in first class. They haven’t worked anywhere near hard enough to afford that. At that age, at that size, you’re telling me they need to sit in first class? No, they do not. We’re really strict on that." Above: Gordon Ramsay(left) and his daughter Megan Ramsay (right).
