ROBERT De Niro isn’t strict with his kids.

The Oscar-winning star — who has several children with several different women — insists he’s he model of reason when it comes to being a dad.

“I try not to be too strict with my younger kids because certain things they have to do,” he said. “But at the same time I don’t want them to get away with anything.

“But I think I try to rationalize with them, and argue — ‘Now look, I’m very good with you about certain things. You have to now do this. That’s only fair’.

“Of course, there are times when that stuff doesn’t work. I’m not the all-knowing, all-seeing… But I think in general it works pretty good.”

De Niro, 66, recently revealed that he has an iPhone — but doesn’t use Twitter.

“I don’t Twitter,” he said. “Somebody told me about it. I didn’t know what it was.

“I only know how to use a computer. I don’t even know how good I am at it. I slowly use the little things and get emails and I look at videos on the computer and I use an iPhone. I guess I use it adequately.”
