Being a parent is challenging, particularly for public figures, as their actions can significantly influence their child’s development and personality formation. Jada and Will Smith are well-acquainted with these challenges. They have raised two children, Jaden and Willow, in the spotlight. However, not everyone agrees with their parenting style, including Jada’s mother, who has expressed reservations about how the two children were raised.
Over the years, the Smith family has encountered many problems, including one of their son’s announcements, which Jada considered to be hearbreaking.
Although it seems easy, having famous parents can be quite difficult because people treat you very differently and it can be very difficult to form your personality and find out who you really are. Jaden confirmed all these things in an interview in 2018, but fortunately he managed to find a place to find himself, the skate park.
Although there is a lot of pressure on Jaden and he is always watched by the media, Will Smith said that his son always manages to find a balance and he is fearless.
Jada told Red Table Talk in an interview of Red Table Talk in an interview that at the age of 15, Jaden told her he wanted to leave the family’s house and not be dependent on his parents. The parents received this announcement as heartbreaking but in the end they agreed that Jaden should be responsible for his own actions, and their son moved alone. Jada said she felt Jaden was ready to move out of the house and trusted her son, but Adrienne, Jada’s mother, said she never agreed with the decision.
Jada said that she understood that every child needs something different to feel good and the more she lets her son make decisions for him, the more they will have the best relationship possible. In the end, Jaden did not go ahead with this decision, but his parents gave him all the freedom he needed.
Another decision of Jaden was to become vegan, but his parents had to intervene in this decision because Jaden did not eat properly and unfortunately his health was negatively affected.
After a while, Jaden realized that his life was in danger, so he decided to become a vegetarian. Jaden also admitted that he eated chaotically, sometimes only one meal a day and did not realize then how much harm he does to himself by eating this way.
In 2017, Jaden moved from his parents’ house to his new home in Hidden Hills. His house is only 5 minutes away from his parents’ house and he has a close connection with them, considering them his models in life.
