Holidays after a divorce can be a trying time for anyone, especially when there are kids involved.  That's as true for celebs as anyone else which is why Reese Witherspoon shared some tips with People about how she and her ex, Ryan Phillipe, share custody of their kids Ava and Deacon. 

"I think the most important thing is to be a grownup," she says, "and not let any kind of feelings affect how you deal with your children."

For the mother-of-two – who finalized her divorce from Ryan Phillippe in June – that means having "a lot of communication" with her ex-husband and "just being very open."

 

 

Sound advice.  We're thrilled that so many celebs are putting their kids first (like Madonna and Guy Ritchie who quickly settled their divorce for their children's sake).  For more of Reese's parenting tips, check out the complete article at People.com.
