Kelly Clarkson Embraces Parenting Through Mistakes
Kelly Clarkson encourages her children to learn from their mistakes.
Kelly Clarkson, renowned for her hit song “Breakaway,” is fostering resilience in her children, River Rose and Remington, during their formative years. With River now 12 and Remington at 10, Clarkson acknowledges the complexities of adolescence, particularly as River navigates junior high challenges.
In an interview with E! News, Clarkson shared her progressive approach to parenting, stating, “I believe in letting my kids make their own mistakes, and that’s perfectly acceptable.” While she offers guidance, she emphasizes the importance of her children making independent choices.
Clarkson remarked, “I don’t play the ‘I told you so’ card often, but I do provide advice when asked. Junior high is tough—there are social dynamics and disagreements to manage. I’ve been in the position where my daughter has come back to me and acknowledged, ‘You were right.’
She added, “There have been moments when they admitted, ‘I should’ve listened to you differently.’”
Excitement Surrounds New Season of The Voice
Aside from her parenting journey, the 44-year-old artist is enjoying her role on the latest season of “The Voice,” where she collaborates with new coaches Queen Latifah and Riley Green, along with returning coach Adam Levine.
Commenting on the addition of Queen Latifah, Clarkson expressed her admiration: “Queen is genuinely a legend. People often misuse the term, but she has truly earned it with her vast contributions across Broadway, film musicals, and beyond. Her presence adds a legendary aura to our show this season.”
Regarding Riley Green, Clarkson noted his skyrocketing success in the music industry: “He’s currently making waves on the charts and is at an exciting point in his career. It’s invigorating to see the fresh energy he and Queen bring to the show.”
Reflecting on competition, Clarkson highlighted Levine’s relaxed attitude towards his previous victory. “Adam doesn’t boast about his accomplishments; he maintains a laid-back demeanor. I, however, would embrace the victory and enjoy some friendly banter around it,” she admitted.
