How Old are Huw Edwards Children?
The exact age of Huw Edwards children is not known. He has opened up about his family life and his parenting approach, which he believes has improved significantly by the time he welcomed his fifth child. In an interview he said: "There's a principle that your youngest child gets a far better crack of the whip than your eldest. All your anxieties and inexperience and cluelessness as a parent are taken out on your eldest child. By the time you get to your youngest, in my case number five, you're a brilliant parent. So if you could give a parent all the patience and knowledge that they would have with their second or third child or whatever to the first, that's the one piece of advice I'd give."
“The determined dad shared with Wales Online his drive to ensure his children learned Welsh: "I was able to concentrate a lot of time on my eldest two children who have got a good level of understanding in Welsh but the others less so. Three of my sons are linguists actually and I've got a daughter who is a linguist."
"Their facility to speak, pronounce and understand, it's quite good but what you won't get is a fluent conversation... They talk frequently to my mum who is back in Llanelli and they are very aware of the heritage of my dad and the fact he was such a big figure in Welsh language culture and are very proud of that."
