The 32-time Grammy winner, who has daughter Blue, 12, and twins Rumi and Sir, 7, with husband Jay-Z, recently revealed that she is committed to keeping her children as grounded as possible.

"One thing I've worked incredibly hard on is making sure my kids can have as much normalcy and privacy as possible," she told GQ in an interview published September 10, "ensuring my personal life isn't transformed into a brand. It's incredibly easy for celebrities to use our lives as performance art."
As she stated, "I have made an enormous effort to stay true to my limits and protect myself and my family." "No amount of money is worth my peace."
And how does the "Protector" singer achieve a balance between keeping the peace and continuing her career?
"My job schedule revolves around my family," she explained. "I aim to only tour while my children are out of school. I've always wanted to travel the world with my family and introduce them to new languages, buildings, and lifestyles."
However, as the 43-year-old stated, "raising three kids isn't simple."
"As kids get older, they become their own individuals with own needs, hobbies, and social lives," she said. My twins are divinely sent. Parenting continually educates you about yourself. It requires a great deal of prayer and patience. I love it. It's reassuring and gratifying."
Indeed, one of the most rewarding aspects is having her trio by her side at all times.
"My kids accompany me wherever I go," the Destiny's Child alum stated. "After school, kids come to my office and join me in the studio. They are attending dance rehearsals. It's natural for them to learn my choreography."
No one can possibly claim to learning the choreography better than Blue, who accompanied her mother onstage during the Renaissance tour.
And, despite her past reservations about bringing her oldest child on tour with her, the mother of three can't help but adore her mini-me.
"Blue is an artist," Beyoncé revealed. "She has excellent taste in music and fashion." She is an excellent editor, painter, and actress. Since she was three years old, she has been creating characters. She's a natural, but I didn't want Blue on stage. "Blue wants it for herself."
"She took it seriously and deserved it," the "Crazy in Love" musician said. "Most importantly, she had fun! Every night, we all watched her grow in front of our eyes.
