Apparently Jada Pinkett is pissed at everyone who questioned her parenting skills, and guess what? Jada’s fighting back! Jada insists her and Will Smith are good parents, adding that their children wanted showbiz at a early age…so, as good parents would, she says they allowed it. The only stipulation Jada says she and Will had with their decision to grant their kids the green light is that they would have her their hands over Jaden and Willow’s careers.
Here’s what Jada had to say:
“Our children are allowed to stay in the paradigm of being a child. They don’t have to take care of their families: become the complete emotional, physical, and financial focus that happens to many child stars. Our family structure is a little different and it’s quite hard to comprehend because it’s so outside what usually happens in a family, but the paradigm is the same. This isn’t about fame or money. They were still going to have their trials because of who their parents are. As much as I wish I could figure out a way I could protect my children, they have their destiny. I’m not going to put brakes on that out of fear. I have a 10-year-old who can stand up in front of an audience of 17,000 and rock the house. I have to keep her grounded.”
Let’s not forget the critics began taking shots at Jada and Will when Willow had a hard time reading on BET’s 106 & Park. People like author Terry McMillan had horrible things to say about Jada and Will Smith’s parenting, criticizing them for being Scientologists and claiming that Jaden and Willow can’t read or perform their times tables. How did Terry McMillan get this information? I don’t know, but I do know that Jada’s kids are having a good childhood.
