No Meat, No Phones, No Social Media: Inside Octomom Natalie 'Nadya' Suleman's Strict Rules for Teen Octuplets (Exclusive)
Octomom Natalie "Nadya" Suleman shares the parenting rules and philosophies that helped shape her 14 children.
"I was a child and adolescent development major," says Suleman of what she studied at Cal State Fullerton where she earned her bachelor's degree while raising her older children. But though she learned a great deal about what kids need to succeed, when it comes to her older children, "I personally believe I failed as a parent to implement all of the knowledge I acquired in college," she says.
