Kelly Clarkson, a mother of two from Fort Worth, Texas, shared her parenting approach in a recent interview. Clarkson, residing in Louisiana, where she notes spanking is common, revealed she wouldn’t hesitate to use this disciplinary method on her kids if they misbehave. She clarified that it’s not about a severe beating but a simple swat on the behind, emphasizing it as a common practice in the South.
Reflecting on her upbringing, Clarkson mentioned that she was spanked by her parents and believes she turned out well. She adds, however, that she always gives a warning before resorting to any form of discipline. The challenge, according to the Voice coach, lies in applying spanking in public due to potential judgment from those who disagree.
The debate on spanking as a long-term disciplinary strategy persists, with varying opinions on its safety. The American Academy of Pediatrics, however, does not endorse any form of corporal punishment, emphasizing alternative methods for child discipline.

Ageless Goldie Hawn shares her four secrets to wellbeing
“Ok, this is my new t-shirt: ‘Be kind to your mind’,” the proud grandmother, who has previously shared her own battle with depression, begins. “And it’s really important because our mindset is everything. It’s how we go through the day, it’s how we watch our mind, and how we care for it.”
In the clip, mental health advocate Goldie goes on to share her four steps to “a happier brain” – and among them is to smile.
“Remember that even if you don’t feel like it, smile,” says the Oscar winner in the clip. “Right? Because when you smile your brain smiles, too… What’s going on in your brain when you smile even though you don’t feel like it? It thinks it’s really a happier brain and we wanna get a happy brain.”
Comments on the advice immediately flooded in, with scores of fans telling Goldie how much she makes them smile.
“Goldie, your smile always makes my mind feel happy and makes me smile!! Thanks for this morning’s message, blessings and health and happiness to you and everyone!” said one fan.
“I needed this message more than anything today! I’m smiling right now and it feels so good!” wrote one, while another said, “Thank you for this wonderful advice. You make people smile.”
Even Goldie’s famous friends chimed in, like Ali Wentworth who revealed: “Well, when I see your face – I smile! And that smile makes me feel better!”
