You don't want your kids being like this host, very selfish and self centered.

What's the Story?
RED TABLE TALK is a critically acclaimed Facebook Watch series starring three generations of women talking about contemporary social issues while sitting around a red table. Jada Pinkett Smith, her daughter Willow, and her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, candidly discuss interesting and relevant topics ranging from raising kids in Hollywood to things like marriage, divorce, addiction, violence, and white privilege. It also features conversations and one-on-one interviews with friends, including actors like Gabrielle Union and Leah Remini, and influencers like EJ Johnson to get their insights on certain topics and work out serious issues. Family members Will and Jaden Smith occasionally join in.
Is It Any Good?
This thoughtful series offers straightforward conversations about different issues within the context of helping others. Many of these exchanges, some of which address topics like coping with addiction, domestic violence, sex, marriage, and divorce revolve around the hosts' personal experiences. Other discussions explore more political issues, like racism, and Hollywood gossip-related topics. But the overall series features honest, and sometimes constructive, testimonials about how people make sense of their lives, and the lessons they've learned throughout. If you like interesting, no-frills celebrity talk shows, Red Table Talk might fit the bill.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about talk shows. Why do people enjoy other people chatting with each other? Would you like to go on a talk show? Why or why not? What would you talk about?
Some of the conversations on Red Table Talk candidly address mature topics like body image issues and sexuality, as a way of helping people think about these topics and empower themselves. Do you think this is a good way to bring up and discuss issues with your own family?
