On June 19 2013, Madonna talked to Access Hollywood about working with Lourdes and Rocco during the MDNA World Tour: 

“It was amazing to work with both of them,” she said of Lourdes, who helped out in the tour’s wardrobe department, and Rocco, who danced with his mother on stage.

“I think working and earning a living is always a good experience for a child,” she continued.

“They got to travel the world and had to deal with all the ups and downs of doing shows outdoors. Rain, extreme heat, torrential downpours, hail, freezing cold,” she explained. “So pushing through any kind of limitations and having the attitude of the show must go on, no matter what was good training.”
