Will Smith has revealed his son Jaden wants to move into a house of his own for his 15th birthday.
The teen plans to become emancipated - and wants to be allowed to live independently from his parents.
Smith explained: 'He says, "Dad, I want to be emancipated," I know if we do this, he can be an emancipated minor, because he really wants to have his own place.'
In an interview with The Sun newspaper Smith explained that he and wife Jada Pinkett Smith are eager to teach Jaden and sister Willow, 12, the rights and wrongs of life by allowing them to make their own mistakes instead of using traditional disciplines such as sending them to their room and taking away their luxuries for the day.
He told the Sun newspaper: 'We generally don't believe in punishment. From the time Jaden was five or six we would sit him down, and all he has to do is be able to explain why what he did was the right thing for his life.'
Will - who also has 19-year-old son, Trey, from his previous marriage with Sheree Zampino - wants his children to take responsibility for their own lives.
The Men in Black 3 star's own father Willard - who ran a refrigeration installation business in Philadelphia after leaving the US Air Force - was a very strict parent who believed his son should be seen and not heard so Will was keen for his own offspring have a completely different upbringing to him.
