Leelee Sobieski<\/strong> is all about live and let learn.<\/p>\n

Opting to skip the educational shows and specialized computer programs for babies, the actress wants daughter Louisanna \u2018Lewi\u2019 Ray<\/strong><\/strong> to gain knowledge the old-fashioned way \u2014 and, for the most part, without technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo Baby Einstein<\/em><\/a> and no anything else,\u201d Sobieski told PEOPLE Monday at the Volkswagen<\/a> and Museum of Modern Art<\/a> partnership dinner.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now she watches this one song called \u201cThe Elephant Song<\/a>\u201c\u00a0on the computer. It\u2019s paper cut-outs that are animated so it\u2019s more like a cartoon. And then she watches a five minute clip \u2026 of The Red Balloon<\/em><\/a> \u2014 the French short film. And that\u2019s it.\u201d
<\/p>\n

Sobieski, 28, is aware \u201cyou have to be a part of the times,\u201d however she is striving to strike a balance between modern day wonders while still allowing 17-month-old Lewi to enjoy her childhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want her to not be able to talk with her friends about what\u2019s going on, but I really want to encourage the reading and the playing,\u201d she explains.\u00a0\u201dA lot of kids now in New York I see can open an iPhone before they can even walk practically. [They do] the finger slide.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, notes Sobieski \u2014 the disciplinarian of the family \u2014 saying, \u2018No,\u2019 to her baby girl isn\u2019t always so easy, especially for husband Adam Kimmel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really want to share in the disciplinary status, but I feel that my husband\u2019s heart [can’t handle it] \u2014 not that mine doesn\u2019t melt! It\u2019s really hard for me,\u201d she says.\u00a0\u201dI just want to love and spoil her, but I know that a little bit of discipline is good in the long run.\u201d<\/p>\n
