“Katie saw that Suri was growing into a monster,” a source says. “She wants to really become a parent and start teaching her strong discipline. Suri’s life is going to change.
So what are Katie’s new rules around the house?
“Katie is getting Suri to bed by about 8pm,” an insider reveals. “She’s trying to put her on a regular schedule. Tom just used to let her stay up all night watching Scientology kids’ videos. Katie’s plan is to get Suri to make her own bed, put away her clothes and help clean up her room.”
But is Suri responding well to this “normal” treatment?
“There has been some resistance,” the source admits. “But Suri adores her mom. So, little by little, she’s starting to listen. Katie is taking everything very slowly.”
Katie is also very excited to send Suri to Manhattan’s Convent of the Sacred Heart school, which is all girls.
“Suri is not used to sharing or playing with other kids, so going to school will be a big change for her,” the source adds. “Katie wants her to get used to that. She just wants her to be a normal kid.”
