In a recent interview Jada Pinkett-Smith talks about her style of parenting vs the "old school" style of parenting...
Jada tells People Magazine,
''I think that old school style of 'I'm your parent and I'm greater than you' doesn't work. What I establish with my children is a partnership. I'm not necessarily dictating what is happening in their lives.''
''We ... communicate with our kids in a way that our message overpowers any other message that they get out there."
''We can't control what our kids learn anymore. We have to inform them and have real conversations ... and [create] that foundation of them feeling assured in themselves."
''I think for our children ... they feel like we really care and they come to us and go, 'Mommy, I'm having this problem.' And it's like, 'Okay, let's figure this out together.' And it empowers them.''
