Premiere of "Kit Kittridge: An American Girl" - Arrivals

Jada Pinkett Smith admits that her mini-celebrity kids are exposed to a lot of the adult world at a very young age. But she’s determined that Willow, Jaden, and Trey will stay on the straight and narrow.

She’s particularly concerned by the messages her boys receive through hip-hop music and films.

“I think as mothers, with the music and the media out there, we really have to sit our boys down and tell them, ‘That is not okay,’” she told Capitol File Magazine. She said she hopes “to teach my sons a different thought process when it comes to how they view women.”

The negative media messages girls get also make life difficult, and Jada admits she has “to constantly reassure my daughter that she is beautiful.”

Jada’s also raising her children to understand both parents share the responsibilities inside and outside the home.

“It’s funny because I remember telling my kids, ‘Mommy isn’t going to be doing any more movies this year.’ You know what they said? ‘But how are we going to pay the bills?’ It was cute, but more important, they see a household where both parents contribute.”

It sounds like those kids are managing to stay grounded despite the industry they’re in. But with great parents like Will Smith and Jada, it’s not hard to see why!
