He loved games, amusement parks, movies, video games, and water fights. When he was with them, many people said he acted like a very present and fun dad. He taught them values. According to Prince and Paris, he talked to them a lot about being humble, respecting others, being grateful, and helping those in need, regardless of whether that person had money or not. He was very protective. He tried to keep them away from the paparazzi and the intense media attention. Some of the decisions he made regarding their privacy were publicly debated, but his stated intention was to protect them from the pressure he had experienced since childhood. She loved surprising them. She organized birthdays, trips, and special experiences. She wanted them to have happy memories. He listened to them. Those who knew him said he tried to talk to them and pay attention to what they felt, not just tell them what to do. He was quite the joker. He liked to tell jokes and laugh at them. It wasn't all discipline; there was also plenty of room for fun.
