Kelly Clarkson, a mother of four, embraces a disciplinary approach, including occasional spanking for misbehavior. The Grammy-winning singer, in addressing her parenting style, expressed, “I’m not above a spanking, which people aren’t necessarily into, and I don’t mean like hitting her hard, I just mean a spanking.” Clarkson believes in finding a balance between nurturing and setting boundaries, stating, “I think I’m a hard mom when it comes to discipline.” Her perspective on discipline aligns with promoting respect and responsibility, emphasizing, “I’m from the South, ‘Yes, ma’am,’ ‘No, ma’am,’ ‘Yes, sir,’ ‘No, sir’ is how I was raised.” While acknowledging the controversy surrounding spanking, Clarkson underscores the importance of imparting valuable life lessons to her children. In navigating parenthood, she prioritizes fostering a supportive and loving environment, asserting, “I’m a consistent parent, and I think that’s hard to find.”
