Jim Scott Spoke About Raising His Sons in a January 2025 Interview
Jim Scott and his wife Joanne Scott spoke about raising their sons, which also includes J. D. Scott, in a January 2025 interview with Drew & Jonathan magazine.
Jim Scott shared that he “was an instructor in Shotokan karate” and encouraged his children to practice the martial art.
“When the boys were eight, they wanted to join. I said if they started, they could not quit,” said Jim Scott during the interview. “They watched a number of classes and decided they wanted to join. Their older brother Daniel (JD) was 10 and he had joined at 8. Over the next 10 years, all three boys earned black belts and became instructors at the dojo.”
Jim Scott also gave advice about parenthood. According to the father of three, “from the beginning of their lives, parent-child relationships are a work in progress.” He also encouraged parents to “keep interacting with your kids and looking for opportunities to talk about what they’re interested in.”
“To keep their attention, it shouldn’t be a one-way conversation; that’s when their eyes glaze over. Speak respectfully, with no shouting. And always take time to listen when they want to talk. If you feel the need to have a serious discussion, lead into the conversation with something less heavy,” said Jim Scott to the publication.
Drew Scott Shared That He & His Wife Have a Similar Relationship as His Parents
In a June 2023 interview with Drew & Jonathan magazine, alongside Jonathan Scott, Drew Scott referenced that he had his first child, Parker, whom he shares with his wife Linda Phan when he was 44 years old. He noted that his father was also in his 40s when he and Jonathan Scott were born. In addition, Drew Scott mentioned that he and Phan had been together for 12 years before welcoming Parker.
“[My parents] had so many adventures before kids, whether it was overseas in Scotland or in the Rocky Mountains, which is similar to Linda and me,” said Drew Scott in the 2023 interview. “I think it can actually be a good thing to spend a lot of years truly connecting with and getting to know your partner, and that makes us stronger parents.”
