“I’m just trying to get by, I think just like every other parent, you’re just kind of trying not to mess kids up, but you know you’re going to on some level,” he explained. The actor went on to reveal that he has learned a lot raising his daughter. “Even though they don’t want boundaries, they do want boundaries,” he added. “Her anxiety goes down, her stress level goes down when she just understands the rules.”

Tatum also talked about his experience growing up in the South, revealing that he wanted to do things right with his daughter. “I was raised very, very different,” he said, explaining that he would face a “‘Touch that again, you’re going to get a whipping‘ sort of situation and we don’t spank Evy, so it’s one of those gentle kind of things, but having to learn where to be strong, where to be firm, but not in the way I was.”
