10 year old Willow Smith, daughter of Will and Jada Smith has taken the music game by storm but is she a little too young to dedicate her childhood to an industry that doesn't really cater to children? Many would say, well her parents have been in the entertainment industry for so long so it's okay because they will protect her interest at all costs. This may be an accurate statement but as a 10 year old child, she should be playing on the playground with her friends and not worrying about when she's going to get her next cheque. If she has the talent gene in her, it is inevitable and therefore, as she grows older, no one will have to question her talent because she has it. I just think that she needs time to grow into who she truly wants to be, not as an artist but as a human being. Many times we see childhood stars grow up to be unusual individuals who struggle with addiction such as Todd Bridges from A Different Strokes. We do not want to wish any ill will on little Willow but it's time for her to play with dolls and put down the microphone until she can balance her cheque book on her own. She will be ready then!
