Julia Roberts has owned up to her strict parenting style in a new interview, admitting that she has banned her three kids from social media, while restricting the amount of TV they watch.

The 51 year old actress opened up in a new interview with The Sun, where she spoke about the 'family meetings' they have while trying to not expose her kids to the 'pressures' of modern life.

'I have three young children so I'm very careful about turning the TV on,' Roberts said in her interview, promoting the UK release of her film Ben Is Back.

'It's interesting trying to raise kids in this day because it's all so new — the pressures, the resources, having the world in your hand like that,' she added.

'I try to keep them off social media, because I don't really understand what they need that for right now.' 

The Notting Hill actress is mom to 14 year old twins Hazel and Finn and 11 year old son Henry.

She also spoke about her role as Holly Burns in Ben Is Back, about a mother whose drug-addicted son unexpectedly shows up at home for the holidays. 

'I'm now more informed about drugs than I was before,' Roberts added about the research she had to do for the role.

'If you apply all the many ­nightmares that any parent could have in this world, you would lock the doors and never leave the house,' she added.

'You have to concentrate on the world's positive, optimistic things,' she added, before addressing her own rural upbringing.

'I grew up in a very small town in a community where drugs were not part of the high school scene, and if they were I was not aware of it,' she said.

'It was more about people downing beers in the parking lot of Domino's Pizza.

Roberts also spoke about her marriage to cinematographer Danny Moder in the interview.

'Getting married to Danny is easily one of three ­turning points, because I found what for me is my perfect match,' she said.

'There's nothing general about finding that person in this big wide world. That person shapes you, crystallizes the definition of who you are,' she added.

'I give Danny a lot of credit. He really shined the light for me. He makes me feel my most comfortable self. I don't alter myself in any way. And he points out aspects of myself — good and bad — that maybe I don't pay attention to.'
