The Alias beauty has previously said there's no correct method to raise children, so she aims to suit her family's needs.
"It's tricky, I don't think there's any right way to be a mom," Garner said. "Whatever works for you, don't judge yourself for it. And don't let others judge you.
"Just do what feels best for your family, and if that's going to work, then go to work with your head held high, and if that's staying at home, then don't let yourself feel any less for being at home with your kids."
