Jennifer Garner is giving out some five-star advice.

The Five-Star Weekend actress explained that the reason she doesn’t apologize to her and ex-husband Ben Affleck’s kids Violet, 20, Seraphina, 17, and Samuel, 14, for keeping busy with new projects is because “work is part of life.”

“I get so much joy from what I do,” Garner said during a July 13 appearance on Today With Jenna & Friends. “I really believe that any job I've had I've really loved getting in there and doing the best—I mean, I like to work. I'm a worker bee.”

So, the 13 Going on 30 star learned to accept that she’s allowed to be a mom with a busy work calendar.

“When they were younger, I struggled with it so much,” the 54-year-old continued, “but now that they're older they're like, ‘Thank you for showing us that work is something to be enjoyed.’ It doesn't have to just be tedious all the time.” 

And while Garner emphasized that it’s easy to love what she does because she has “a pretty great job,” she noted she wants everyone to freely embrace their careers.

“Let go of the guilt,” she pleaded. “It doesn’t serve anyone.”

Previously, the Alias alum shared what she does instead of apologizing to her kids. 

“I do thank them for being so sweet about [me working],” she told InStyle in an interview published June 3. “But that’s part of life. Working hard is part of life, and messing up is part of life. Tripping and falling—there’s room for all of it.”

In fact, Garner is honest about learning to be a parent as you go along. As she put it, “You have to raise yourself at the same time.”

“Just be so radically kind to yourself about how imperfect it is,” she continued. “And that it is just going to be imperfect. There’s no such thing as balance. There’s no such thing as doing it right.”

And it’s that radical acceptance that she believes her kids need to see.

“When the big moments happen, you are OK,” she said, “and that’s on you to know and understand so your child feels your okayness.”

Read on for what else Garner has said about being a mom to her three kids. 

When it comes to co-parenting, Jennifer Garner will always maintain a cordial relationship with her ex-husband Ben Affleck for the sake of their children: Violet, Seraphina and Samuel.

“It’s not Ben’s job to make me happy," Garner shared in a 2016 Vanity Fair interview. "The main thing is these kids―and we’re completely in line with what we hope for them."

She continued, "Sure, I lost the dream of dancing with my husband at my daughter’s wedding. But you should see their faces when he walks through the door. And if you see your kids love someone so purely and wholly, then you’re going to be friends with that person.”

Though she and Affleck are both successful actors, Garner doesn't want their kids to live inside a Hollywood bubble.

"It's really important for my kids to see that everyone doesn’t have the lives they see in Los Angeles," she told Southern Living. "That doesn’t reflect the rest of the world. I want them to grow up with the Southern values I had―to look at people when they say hello and to stop and smell the roses."

And that's why her parenting style is very hands-on.

“I think teaching your kids anything is a lifelong job and certainly values are something―you can’t just say, ‘Here, have values!’" she previously told E! News. "You have to show them that you have values."

Explaining how setting a good example is the "most important job," the Alias alum added that she and Affleck—who she split with in 2015 after 10 years of marriage—hope that their kids "see and appreciate the work we do."

Of course, there is no one standard way of parenting.

“As much as you think that, ’OK, I’m going to follow what this person says,'" Garner noted during a 2016 appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, "it’s not up to you, dude."

Advising parents to "let it go" when it comes to their worries, the 13 Going on 30 star continued, "You’re going to struggle. It’s going to suck—just like for everyone else."

For Garner, the key to maintaining a good structure for her kids is setting up boundaries and rules.

"You just have to do it," she explained to Us Weekly. "It’s not pretty. I don’t think that I’m always the best at it, but I try my best to be consistent and for them to know what they can expect from me."

And when she does experience a roadblock in her parenting journey, Garner believes "every day is a fresh start."

"You always can say, ‘Today, we’re going to try this!'" she told People. "And if it goes horribly, you can say, ‘Today, we’re throwing that out, and we’re trying this!’"

The actress added, "That’s part of what I like about being a mom in general."

Garner's motherhood joy extends into the cinematic universe as well.

"I’m really glad that I’m playing moms," she told Today, "because there’s no more rich time in women’s lives than when you have your babies."
