In a recent radio interview, Kelly Clarkson, the proud mother of eight-year-old River Rose and six-year-old Remy, openly expressed her views on child discipline, including the controversial topic of spanking. As parenting styles continue to evolve, this subject has triggered significant debate in recent times.
Clarkson, a well-known figure in the entertainment industry who was just honored with a star on the prestigious Hollywood Walk of Fame, has been unapologetic about including spanking as one of her parenting tools. She has consistently defended her stance, attributing it to her upbringing and cultural influences.
Clarkson’s declaration that she is “not above spanking” her children has garnered both support and skepticism in a society where beliefs about child-rearing vary greatly. “I don’t mean hitting her,” she clarified, emphasizing that her goal is not to cause harm but to use physical discipline in a controlled manner. “I just mean a little spanking,” she further explained.
