The Iowa-born actor told the magazine that he loves taking an active role as a parent, from sleep training to packing school lunches for his little ones.
And while Elijah has amassed 2.9 million Twitter/Facebook followers, he revealed that he secretly has a private Instagram account.
“I wanted to be able to share photos that I didn’t necessarily want to share with the world,” Wood explained.
‘A public account would really change what I share. It’s not that I’m sharing anything I wouldn’t want out, but I’m a relatively private person.
