Jada Pinkett Smith is quite aware of what's good for her children and what's not, she'd like all her critics to know. The actress thinks that is it important for children to be included in important discussions, especially like domestic violence and abuse.

It was on Wednesday that the 47-year-old actress opened up on the issue during her 'Red Table Talk' discussion, and discussed the backlash and "flak" she received from hundreds of people after including her 18-year-old daughter, Willow, in a previous episode dealing with the same topic.
