Denzel Washington teaches his children how to overcome "obstacles" in their lives. The 'Training Day' actor - who has four children with his wife Pauletta, 23-year-old John David, 20-year-old Katia and 16-year-old twins Olivia and Malcolm - has always encouraged his brood to focus on the positive things in life.

Speaking on the 'The Early Show', he said: "I try to teach my children there are going to be obstacles. Someone may not like you just because they don't like themselves. But don't you get bogged down by that."
