Will Smith explains his laid-back approach to parenting Willow and Jaden.
During a photo call for his new film, After Earth, Will Smith, 44, shared a bit about his parenting approach.
"We don't do punishment," he told JustJared.com (referring to himself and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, of course). "The way that we deal with our kids is, they are responsible for their lives.

His son, Jaden, 14, stood beside him at the photo call. "He's done things," Will said.
But there are no consequences when he or his sister, Willow, 12, do things. "You can do anything you want as long as you can explain to me why that was the right thing to do for your life."
