A MUM-OF-TEN has boasted that her children “just are” well behaved and she’s never had to teach them how to be.
Taina Licciardo-Toivola has spent the last 25 years raising her model tots with her husband Paul.

The 45-year-old said she has “spawned a rainbow of children” who sit quietly and courteously in public spaces.
They are called Leonardo, Cleopatra, Jerusalem, Romeo, D’Artagnan, Shakespeare, Nefertiti, KingJames, Aphrodite and Omega.
The Australia-based mega mum has now revealed raising her huge brood has been a breeze and her tots are effortlessly well-behaved.
She said: “They’ve never been taught to do that.
“I’ve never let them get to the age of three and start teaching them then to do it.
“All of my children have grown up, they’ve seen everyone else be calm and quiet, when to be loud, when to not be loud.
“They’ve grown into that kind of lifestyle.”
Taina used the example of taking her tots to routine doctor check-ups.
A restless toddler in a pin-drop quiet room is an awkward situation most mums know too well.
But for the famous family, it isn’t an issue.
Taina quipped: “People have said, ‘how do you get your children to be quiet at the doctors?’
“They’ve grown up knowing that when we are at the doctors, you just sit on the chair quietly.
“I don’t have to teach them to do it.
“It’s just… they’ve grown up that way.
She also admitted she couldn’t give advice on how to make an active brood sleep because her children “just do it”.
Taina’s offspring are known for their YouTube vlogs where they all dress in matching white T-shirts and show love for their large family.
Her second oldest child Cleopatra, 23, gave birth to a baby girl named Sacagawea in April last year, expanding the already-huge family further.
The mother and daughter duo previously revealed that they breastfeed their tots at the same time and even share a breast pump.
