EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW: Michael Jackson Honored At Dancing With The Stars
Jackson said Michael’s kids are big fans of the weekly ballroom competition, and were watching the show -- which included a classy tribute to their late father -- at home with their nannies and Jermaine’s children.
He said the family aims to "instill the right values and morals" into the trio of kids, picking up where Michael left off.
"Michael was very strong with them, very straightforward, he didn't just give them anything," Jermaine said. "He disciplined them in a way they'll understand that you have to work hard to achieve anything."
When RadarOnline.com's Tina Malave asked Jermaine if Michael’s children were interested in becoming entertainers, Jermaine said they were "very, very much" likely to pursue film careers in the future.
