On an August episode of her podcastBroad Ideas with Rachel Bilson & Olivia Allen, shared that Briar is different from other children becauseshe doesn’t throws fits.

“Bry’s definitely a different kid than I was,” Bilson said on the podcast. “Like, 100%.”

“I almost feel weird talking about it with other parents because she doesn’t throw fits,” she continued. “It’s just…it’s not how she is. So if there’s ever a time where she’s off or gets, kind of upset about something, it totally disregulates me.”

Asked why she feels weird talking about it, Bilson admitted it almost feels like bragging. “I just mean it sounds like, ‘Oh my kid doesn’t throw fits,’ you know, but I’m like, no. It’s actually the truth.”
