Dwyane Wade shares his peaceful retreat after capturing daughter Kaavia's adorable moment with Gabrielle Union (Image Credit: Getty Images) Dwyane Wade gave a peek into his family time he is enjoying currently. The couple has their family time planned around their daughter, Kaavia. Recently, Dwyane showed a different side of Kaavia, where she is seen spending time with a pony. He captured the moment in the video and labeled it as 'She's a country girl.' In addition to the video, he also shared a quiet moment capturing the calm of the sea. The vast expanse of calm sea captured in a video was captioned as 'Find your peace.' After a hectic schedule filled with activities, Dwyane wound down in the peaceful company of the sea, inspiring fans to find theirs as well. Dwyane Wade finds peace in his family and home If anyone wants to know where Dwyane Wade is the most peaceful, the easiest way to find out is to go through his Instagram stories. The former NBA star shared a couple of videos on his Instagram story to give a peek into his peaceful, happy moments. In one of the videos, the center of his universe, his daughter Kaavia and wife Gabrielle, are seen chatting over a pony. Gabrielle and Kaavia's conversation was focused on the pony's color and name. Gabrielle told Kaavia that the pony was named 'Sploosh.' Highlighting Kaavia's unseen side, Dwyane captioned the video, 'She's a country girl.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo Apart from capturing his daughter Kaavia's time with a pony, Dwyane also shared a view of the sea to which his vacation home apparently opens. In a recent appearance on the Time Out podcast, he revealed his summer vacation plans and shared that he intends to spend this summer at his newly bought vacation home. He had also shared the sea view from the home, captioning it as, 'To plenty of sunset photos.' The recent updates on his IG story indicate that he has finally got the dream home to spend the summer. Dwyane Wade previously emphasized on importance of giving freedom to his daughter The recent video of Kaavia spending time with a pony showed her confident side. She seemingly loves to be in command of things and is not shy about sharing her thoughts. This confident personality is the result of a thoughtful parenting philosophy Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union swear by. In an earlier interview with a parenting portal, Parents, Dwyane had shared in 2023: 'We give her the freedom to have a say in her space, her appearance, and the things she wants to do. The only way we're going to know our child is by listening to her, watching her, and seeing what she's interested in. For us, in the Black community, we have to make sure our kids understand how to stand on their own two feet and advocate for themselves. It's on us to teach Kaavia her power early on, and a lot of that comes from individuality. Dwyane Wade ON: Letting Go of Validation to Become Your Best Self When asked what they wanted to teach Kaavia, he had said: 'Compassion for herself. So often, we're drilled to be compassionate to everybody else, but we leave ourselves out of that compassion umbrella and let ourselves get drenched and drowned in self-loathing and self-judgment. And when you breed compassion in your home, [kids] can't help but live it and expect it.' Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle have built a cozy cocoon for themselves with Kaavia being its center point. They are always supportive of their children's decisions and take pride in things they accomplish. The recent set of videos was adorable enough to give anybody a heartwarming experience to cherish for long time.
