Actress Jada Pinket-Smith has caught quite a bit of flack ever since her pre-pubescent children, 10-year-old singer Willow and 12-year-old actor/rapper Jaden have taken the entertainment industry by storm in what seems like an overnight success. Though some believe that the children are being exposed to the industry too young, Jada doesn’t see anything wrong with her kids making their own choices and expressing themselves creatively.
The 39-year-old Hawthorne actress claims that her family is her main priority, and she’ has learned to put her work second to home life.
“I see my children as little people, not necessarily people to control. You’ve got to help them develop and become individuals. You have to find out who they are but enforce boundaries to keep them safe. [Willow]’s simply being creative. I’m not worried about her growing up too soon.[...]I’m very clear about what my priority is and that’s my family. I used to struggle juggling work and family at the beginning. It’s hard when you change from being single to being married to being a mother. But now I’m turning 40, I’ve found a peaceful compromise. I feel very content.”
