In January, Garner spoke with Marie Claire UK and shared that she's been loving watching her three kids step into their teenage and adult years.
Describing her kids as "so cool," Garner admitted that her parenting has now "shifted."
"It's more about parenting with a button on my mouth," she explained. "You have to let them grow up and make their choices. You don't get to control it."

Garner said she's "so proud of how they walk through the world, and proud of them for trying hard."
This past October, Affleck made a few rare comments about co-parenting with Garner as he attended the premiere of Kiss of the Spider-Woman, which he produced. Speaking with Access Hollywood, the dad of three was also asked about his daughter Violet, who recently testified at the United Nations.
“I could not be more proud of my children. I can’t even tell you,” said Affleck.
“[Violet] takes after her mom. She’s spectacular," he continued, referring to Garner. "And I’m very lucky that I’ve got a great partner and that we got great kids. It’s the joy of my life and I’m just very, very lucky. And it makes me happy every day."

Earlier this month, Affleck again spoke about his three kids, saying that he doesn't expect them to follow him into the industry.
"You put something on your children when you have a public life, and that's complicated," Affleck told E! News at The Rip premiere. "We really want to give them room to figure out what they want to do."
"I wouldn't push them into that. They're brilliant and lovely and wonderful, and we love them, and we're proud of them," the Oscar winner said before jokingly adding, "and hope that they don't waste their life acting."
The Argo actor acknowledged how his children’s upbringing differs from his own, saying, "In some way, it was kind of a blessing to anonymity, to struggle, to where we started, which was just in the middle of nowhere."
