Jennifer Garner’s three-year-old daughter reads Jane Austen novels

Jennifer Garner’s three-year-old daughter reads Jane Austen novels.

The ‘Invention of Lying’ actress is keen for her children – Violet and eight-month-old Seraphina, her kids with husband Ben Affleck – to have a broad range of interests, and is already encouraging Violet to read classic literature.

Lynda Obst, who produced new movie ‘The Invention of Lying’, revealed: “Most of the time that I did spend with her when it was off-set, Violet was cooking with her, or reading Jane Austen, or doing one of these remarkable things that Violet tends to do.

“She encourages her kids to be independent. And at the same time not television watchers. Readers. Thinkers. She is kind of old-fashioned. She is a very classic mom.”

Jennifer, 37, admits she struggles to juggle her career with being a mother, but tries her best.

Speaking at the Hollywood premiere of the movie, she said: “Every day, you feel like you are off-balance one way or another. You just take it one day at a time. I don't think anyone has it properly figured out.”

Ricky Gervais - Jennifer’s co-star in the film, which is about a world where nobody lies until one man decides to shake things up – claims being a parent has also affected Jennifer’s vocabulary.

He joked: “She is ‘Miss Goody Two Shoes’. When she swears, she says things like 'dang it' and 'darn'. Her favourite swear word is 'rats'. That's not a swear word!”
