Cuoco recently opened up about parenting to USA Today and offered prospective mothers and fathers a bit of guidance regarding parenting advice.
'My advice is don't take any advice because every kid is different. What my kid needs is not what your kid needs, and our household is different than yours, and it's survival. You do what you can do,' she said.
Cuoco went on to state that she was not above distracting Matilda with screen time, although she understood that other methods of parenting call for strict restriction of access to television and movies.
'If she's going crazy, and I plop her on the couch to watch a Disney movie, like thank you, you get 10 minutes. That's great. To me, that's wonderful. There's maybe the next mom who doesn't want them to watch TV, and that's fine too,' she said.
The actress also spoke about how her daughter had developed an affinity for her phone strap.
'She has every toy in the universe, but all she wants is the leather strap from my phone…I ordered two leather straps on Amazon. I was like, "Here." So she chews on my leather strap. That's what she prefers,' she stated.
The birthday post comes just a week over the passing of the Cuoco family's German Shepard, Blue.
Last Wednesday, Kaley posted heartwarming pictures of the 'gentle' dog as she penned a long homage to him expressing her grief as she mourns having to put him down.
'I have cried harder over the loss of this gorgeous creature than I have in long time,' she said in a snippet of the caption.
The actress noted that Blue was more of a family member than a pet
Pelphrey praised his partner's motherly abilities and revealed that she is thriving, 'She is so good at it'
The post went viral with her celebrity pals as they took to the comment section to support her and Pelphrey during this difficult time.
Stars like Taylor Lautner, Justin Theroux, and Amy Bolandhauser hit the 'like' button to express their condolences as they wrote their sympathies under the post.
The actress noted that Blue was more of a family member than a pet as she reminisced over the time spent with him in life.
'We are so lucky to be loved by animals. They are gifts from above and we have been given the honor to cherish them on this earth. To be their voices. To teach our children how to treat them and how to love them. Blue, it was an honor to be your second favorite human down here on earth,' she finished.
