(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Sarah Jessica Parker potty trains her children by "bribing" them with half a jellybean.

The actress has three children with her husband Matthew Broderick eight-year-old James and two-year-old twins Tabitha and Marion.

Sarah admits she does things as a mother that she didn't necessarily think she would do.

"Yeah, where does the list begin!? We've had the TV on during dinner, for example. I think you're constantly breaking rules. And any mother who says she doesn't use bribery can add liar to her list. Even bribery that you in your head have decided isn't bribery.

"Like I potty train by using half a jellybean. That's bribery, right? But in my head it's just half a jellybean!" she quipped in an interview with OK! magazine.

"So one of my daughters now just goes and sits on the potty and makes the sound! Oh she's a clever one."

Sarah says her eldest son James appreciates her career. The star says he still gets embarrassed from time to time with her mannerisms though.

"I think he's proud. He's not embarrassed that I would know for sure. My work doesn't embarrass him but I do like if I use a word that he thinks I'm too old to use," she laughed.

"He doesn't like me dancing in front of anybody but I just do it to annoy him." (C) Cover Media
