Kelly Clarkson has defended her choice to spank her children if they misbehave, explaining it as a form of discipline she personally experienced growing up. In a radio interview, she shared, “I was spanked, and I don’t see any issue with it.” Clarkson emphasized that her approach is gentle, stating she gives a warning before spanking.
She acknowledged the controversy surrounding corporal punishment but argued that it has been effective in curbing her children’s misbehavior. “It’s hard to discipline in public,” Clarkson admitted, recognizing the difficulty of handling such situations outside the home.
While some support Clarkson’s stance, others disagree, sparking ongoing debate about the best ways to discipline children.
