Jada Pinkett Smith admitted on her popular Facebook Watch talk show, “Red Table Talk,” that she used shame as a parenting tool on her daughter, Willow Smith. Monday’s episode featured Brene Brown, a best-selling author and research professor at the University of Houston who has studied vulnerability, courage, shame, fear, self-doubt, and empathy. Brown explained how shame is correlated with violence, suicide, bullying, and oppression and it can be damaging when parents use it.
