Have you ever experienced spanking as a child? The use of spanking as a form of discipline has sparked quite a debate, with The American Academy of Pediatrics stating that it is both ineffective and harmful. Nevertheless, some parents, including singer Kelly Clarkson, still choose to use this method.<\/p>\n

In a radio interview back in 2019, Kelly, who is a mother to two children, River Rose, 8, and Remy, 6, shared her perspective on the topic. She mentioned that she \u201cis not above spanking\u201d when it comes to discipline.\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t mean hitting her hard,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>she clarified.\u00a0\u201cI just mean a little spanking.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having grown up with this practice, she feels comfortable with it and sees no issue in using it as a form of discipline.<\/p>\n

Kelly, who grew up in Texas, shared her perspective on discipline, saying,\u00a0\u201cMy parents spanked me, and I turned out just fine. I feel good about it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

She explained,\u00a0\u201cBeing from the South, spankings are part of our upbringing. If I ever found myself in the principal\u2019s office, my mom would call ahead and give her permission to spank me. I consider myself a well-rounded person with strong character, so I believe it\u2019s perfectly acceptable.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clarkson, a talented singer, songwriter, author, and TV personality, recently celebrated receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.<\/p>\n

The American Idol alum acknowledged that her parenting style can be seen as controversial, especially when it comes to disciplining her kids in public settings.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can be tricky when you\u2019re out and about because people often judge, thinking it\u2019s wrong. But I see nothing wrong with a spanking,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>she remarked. \u201cI do believe in it, so you might just see me giving my child a little smack at the zoo.\u201d However, she makes sure to give her kids a heads-up beforehand.<\/p>\n
