LONDON: Angelina Jolie has said she loves that her children have a "good rebellious streak" in them and she would not want them to be on their best behaviour all the time.
The 43-year-old actor, who has Maddox, 17, Pax, 15, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12 and twins Vivienne and Knox, 10, with former husband Brad Pitt, believes that her kids will have to find themselves.
"It's funny - children can do two things. They can make you grow up, and you do, and they also add a sense of wild themselves.
Angelina Jolie with children "They all have a good rebellious streak that is wonderful and curious. And I don't want them to be perfectly behaved little people that just say what's absolutely appropriate because I say so - they have to find themselves," Jolie said on BBC Radio 4's "Today".
The "Maleficent" star said she does her best to instill good values in her children but knows she cannot shield them from everything they might come across on the internet.
