Actress Reese Witherspoon has reduced her acting workload so she can spend more time with her three kids and husband Jim Toth.

The Oscar winner says she has scaled back her acting work in order to spend more time with her children Ava, 16, and 11-year-old Deacon, her kids with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, and two-year-old Tennessee with current spouse Jim Toth.

Witherspoon , whose last film `Hot Pursuit` with Sofia Vergara came out in May, said: "My family comes first. I haven't made a movie probably in a year and a half. I'm focused on my business, but also I want to spend time with my teenage daughter. It's terrifying that my oldest child is about to leave [home to go to university]. I can't imagine not sitting at the foot of her bed, saying, 'So what happened at school today?' "

The 39-year-old actress accepts "it's hard" to raise well-rounded children in Hollywood and she is particularly strict about what they watch on TV, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
