"[Mila] is in her tween era. But she's a sweet tween," Jenna, 43, tells Parade before revealing the piece of advice former Saturday Night Live alum Molly Shannon gave her about raising teenagers.

"If you just think and say like, 'Gosh, you're so sweet. Look at how empathetic you are, look how amazing you are,'" Jenna continues. "Sure, they're going to every once in a while show their tween or teen self, but really, it's like that loving kid that was in her still there. And there's, you know, some changes and she's the sweetest, kindest, [most] empathetic girl. And I'm so proud of her."

When asked if she thinks her approach to parenting played a role in the way her kids treat others, Jenna jokes she "better have had a role."

"Parenting was hard last night. Henry's like, 'Wow, parenting is really hard,'" she continues. "And it is. But yeah, of course. I hope that the way Henry and I treat people is rubbed off, you know? And she witnesses that, but she's a good kid. All of them are. They're all wild, too, but they're good."

As for whether or not she's planning on expanding their family in the future, Jenna tells Parade that the Hager brood is, for now, complete.

"No more kids, no more kids for now," she says, adding, "You never know."
