Kate Winslet has opened up about the effect her two divorces have had on her children in a new interview with Harper's Bazaar.
The 39-year-old Oscar-winning actress says her two divorces have helped teach her children how to "struggle".
"I think it’s very important to teach your children to struggle on some level," she said.

"I would honestly say that I wouldn’t change a thing. Even all the bad bits. It doesn’t matter how ***** times have been, they all matter, because those things shape who you are. And if you don’t like who you are, well, then you’re ****** really, aren’t you?"
Kate is mum to Mia, 14, from her marriage to Jim Threapleton, and Joe, 11, from her second marriage to director Sam Mendes and she gave birth two-year-old son Bear in 2013 with husband Ned Rocknroll.
The Titanic actress has spoken out about her personal life before, telling Harper's Bazaar in 2011 that she won't let her failed marriages affect her children.

"There's no way that I'm going to allow my children to be f***ed up because my marriages haven't worked out."
Kate and husband Ned have been married since 2012, two years after splitting from her second husband Sam.
Prior to that the actress was briefly married to Jim from 1998-2001.
