Kelly Clarkson is sharing her "progressive" take on parenting.
In a new interview with E! News, the Voice coach explained how she is guiding her children as they grow up and giving them the chance to learn from their mistakes. Clarkson is a mom to two kids with her late ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, daughter River, 12, and son Remington, 10.
"I'm a pretty progressive parent, so I'm like, 'No, no. You're gonna make your own mistakes, and that's OK,'" she said. "I'm not like and 'I told you so,' but I do implement advice."
Clarkson's approach seems to be helpful for her daughter, who she said is now navigating the "hard" few years of junior high, even if she doesn't always follow her advice.
"They're growing up," she said. "One's in junior high, and junior high sucks. It's a hard age with friends, and arguing and stuff like that. I do offer advice, and I've had my daughter come back and be like, 'So you were right.'"
She added, "I've had them be like, 'OK, so I didn't do that, and I should have.'"
