Dancing With the Stars Alum Lindsay Arnold Reveals How She Feels About Entering Her Dance Mom Era

“I think that’s something that I’ve been very conscious to help them understand and to not put that pressure on them,” Lindsay noted. “And I know everyone in my family is on board with that. If anything, so far, I feel like it’s been such a really cool propelling factor for them.”

And as she helps her kids put their best foot forward—literally—the So You Think You Can Dance alum is trying to take in every moment.

“My favorite part is watching them grow,” Lindsay gushed. “I always tell people, you’ll be in a phase and you’re like, ‘This is the best age. This is so fun.’ And then they grow up, and you’re like, ‘Wait, no, this is so fun.’ Every single phase of life with your kids is so special and unique.”

After all, as she emphasized, “You’re not going to get that back. I feel like that is also probably the hardest is making sure that you’re so present all the time even in the difficult moments because one day those won’t be there anymore, and you’ll miss them.”
