On the latest episode of their Facebook Watch show Red Table Talk, Jada Pinkett Smith has said she has accepted her own mental health struggles as she tried to help her daughter Willow with her anxiety.
The 50-year-old star – who had previously brushed off her habits like biting her nails ‘down to the cuticles’ – admitted she ‘took a long time to understand’ her 21-year-old daughter, and she didn’t realise her own issues., Jada said: ‘It took me a long time to understand Willow. I mean, just her anxiety.
‘I had a really difficult time relating, because, two things — her lifestyle and how she was brought up very different than mine — I don’t know what it’s like to be a child under hot lights. ‘And then just, really not knowing how to comfort her, not knowing what help she needed, not understanding the behaviour.’, adding: ‘Even though I used to chew my fingernails down to the cuticles. But they didn’t say that that was anxiety. I was a nail biter, that’s it.’supports HTML5 video
She noted how Willow’s struggles made her take another look at her own childhood and accept that she has dealt with ‘some anxiety’. She explained: ‘One thing I would say in having to deal with, and learn about her anxiety, I’ve had to look at some of my own behaviors and the behaviors of my mother, and go, well of course I probably have some anxiety in regards to how I grew up.‘It was very difficult, even to this day, in just being there for her in the way that she needs.’Willow added: ‘You used to just be like, “No. I can’t look at this.
