Willow Smith, singer & daughter of Will Smith
“I only heard Willow sing two songs. I don't need to do more than be appreciative for the example and power of her parent's parenting style, and teach it to those who ask. I know most American parents say they would love to bring out the best of their children, but these times dictate something different. Today, Americans, for the most part are a fearful, timid lot. On the international stage Americans project the image, and assault powers of conquerors. It is a mask over a population that cowers in fear. It is an amazing thing to view, and a disturbing thing to witness, but it is the truth.
Will Smith, and his wife; Jada Pickett has a lot of money. They are rich. That doesn’t count as a reason to subvert our ability to change the course of our parenting styles if they are not up to the high standards, nor is the lack of financial wealth an excuse not to ascend to the level of parenting the Smiths, the Knowles, the Jacksons, the Williams, or my parents have. What they have accomplished is assessable to all parents in the United States, but the high level of fear that dominates the creativity parents need to open their inner ear to the spirit of their children, and develop the mind to ‘see’ the spirit of their children is muzzled by a belief system. Unearthing the source of these fears of the law, judgment, and shame is the most important thing for today’s parents to begin to grasp, and internalize!” – Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories (Dawn Wolf)
