The 33-year-old actress recently threw her daughter Daisy - whom she has with her husband Jason Sudeikis - a party to celebrate her first birthday, and has now said the event allowed the tot to "recognise her specialness", which is a feeling Olivia wants Daisy to feel "as much as possible".

She said: "We had a party. There was music, there was dancing, and it's wonderful to see when your child is old enough to recognise their specialness. To give them a special day allows them to feel extraordinary, which they are, and I want her to feel that way as much as possible."

The 'Drinking Buddies' actress - who also has three-year-old son Otis with her husband - is constantly "astonished" by her daughter, and says she wants to make sure she grows up with a "strong foundation" to tackle anything life throws at her.

She added to People magazine: "I think about my relationship with my own mother, and I see Daisy, and I am astonished by her every day. I want to raise her to have such a strong foundation that she can handle anything. I won't be able to protect her from everything, but I can give her the tools to fight for herself."

Meanwhile, the 'Tron: Legacy' star recently revealed her son Otis is taking a while to warm up to his baby sister, and has been acting like a "drill sergeant" by putting her through a baby "boot camp".

She said: "He's like a drill sergeant. I don't know who let him watch 'Full Metal Jacket', but he is so hard on her. He's really putting her through the works, it's boot camp. So she's going to come out of it really ripped and with a great attitude. But he screams!"
