Kris Jenner's children lacked confidence when they were younger.

The 58-year-old television personality and mother to six - Kourtney, 35; Kim, 34; Khloe, 30; Rob, 27; Kendall, 18 and Kylie, 17 - was desperate to be supportive towards her children during the "real chubby stage" in their childhood.

Speaking on 'The Dr. Oz Show', she said: "They were just like other kids where it was that real chubby stage.

"Everybody went through it. They had braces, they were awkward. Rob was chubby and that's when kids need you the most."

She added: "We're such a close family we're always encouraging one another. I think just to be a real supportive parent and tell them how much they are loved and how beautiful they are on the inside.

"As long as they were okay on the inside, then everything else would be gravy."

Meanwhile, Kris also revealed that she wanted her children to feel self-confident as they grew up.

She said: "Putting the girls and Rob, now, on magazines definitely sells them, but I taught the kids a long time ago that it starts with when they were younger.

"I've tried hard to raise strong daughters and give them a sense of self-esteem."
