Jada Pinkett Smith gains knowledge from her three children on a constant basis.
While talking about her new book Worthy, which comes out on October 17, the 52-year-old actress tells PEOPLE in this week’s edition that her two children, son Jaden Smith, 25, and daughter Willow Smith, 22, along with “bonus son” Trey Smith, 30, whom Will, 55, shares with ex-wife Sheree Zampino, are “my little gurus.”
“I think what they’ve taught me collectively is that deep sense of self-acceptance,” Jada concurs. As with my children, they adore every aspect of me. They adore every stage of the trip. The degree of unconditional affection that they have for their father and myself makes them such exquisite beings.”
pointing out that “it’s one thing to want to be the person that gives that unconditional love,” the pleased mother goes on to sаy, “To be the recipient of that unconditional love just creates a whole other understanding and whole other learning that comes with that.”
Jada continues: “And so I’ve really been able to feel what that feels like, to have that level of deep, unconditional love from those three beauties.”
Jaden was born in 1998, and Willow followed in 2000. Jada claims that she has “never related to my kids as just being little people that should be seen and not heard.”
“From the moment they were born, the moment that they were in my wоmb, I could feel a level of intelligence,” she says. “This emotional intelligence, intuitive intelligence, and I’ve always treated them as their own beings.”
Jada continues, “We’re in this life together, this partnership, and that they had as much to teach me as I had to teach them.” She says that she has always approached family with a “we are in this together” mentality.
“So I’ve always been open to them in that way, of the willingness to receive the knowledge that they had just with them, innately,” the star of Set It Off explains.
Jada says she hopes to become a grandmother at some point in the future.
She tells PEOPLE that “grandmotherhood sounds really good,” but she clarifies that her prospective future grandchildren “aren’t going to be allowed to call me grandmother.”
“I’m not sure what nаme they’ll give me. I will have to investigate that. She goes on, “Gammy’s taken,” alluding to the fact that her mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris presently goes by that moniker.
“So I’ll have to figure out what they’ll call me, but hopefully we won’t have to worry about that for a while,” Jada continues.
