Singer Kelly Clarkson revealed recently how she spanks her kids during her own talk show and netizens are not happy.
The leading performer opted to dedicate an entire episode of her show to speaking about how parenting can be difficult for some people and it’s just one of those things that she happens to struggle with too.
Therefore, for her, discipline means everything in the world. And she’s just following the behavior patterns and habits that her own mother used to utilize when she was a child. This includes punishing her kids by spanking them.
But the news had a lot of parents frowning. They felt it was not only incorrect but something that should be avoided at all costs. Others found the behavior to be abusive and one that should be shunned for obvious reasons.
“How could a mother behave like that with her own kids? It’s wrong and it needs to be removed instead of the star promoting it”- added another.
All in all, the general consensus by so many people is that this behavior must be stopped before it gets too late. “We are living in the 21st century, how can spanking be considered a norm? It’s abuse and it’s instilling fear in a child while promoting to others that hitting them is alright”- another furious netizen was seen voicing her concerns.
Clarkson says sometimes she can’t help herself because if her kids misbehave, it’s like that Southern mother instinct in her comes alive, and she must do it to feel at peace.
While some offered their own two cents on the matter, others felt Clarkson should seek therapy and also wondered what other practices she uses to discipline her children.
What do you think? Is spanking children a good idea or not? Let us know and be sure to SHARE the story with others too.
This world and some young adults that didn’t get spanked end up in jail. Why because there’s no discipline, parents should not be weak in their punishment.
I was spanked as a child but only after I had been warned to stop and didn’t. That tells me I was not frightened at all. Also I then punished my children in the same way. When I asked my adult children had they felt abuse they laughed and said they were never frightened of me. They also continued to do the same. But when it was frowned upon my granddaughter would not punish by spanking her children but thinks that sometimes it could have helped. I don’t condone using a cane or belt that is absolutely abuse.
she is making sure that she is correcting them only when needed, kids do things sometimes 24 /7, they are in a learning mode they aren’t supposed to demand anything nor make demands on authority, right now things seem to be upside down.
There’s a lot of child abuse and child molester and kidnapper’s there,and people worried about her spanking her kids.like really? There’s nothing wrong about spanking her kids,in this generation kids needs a little spank so they can learn from right to wrong.people needs to take care of their own kids and make sure their kids are not gonna grow up disrespecting them or do something worse.she have every right to do what she thinks is right and teaching her kids the right way.people there’s a thing call mind yo business.🤦🏽♀️🤫🙄
Omg spanking is not abusive, excess and spanking while angry may be. Most parents these days do absolutely nothing at all which is more abusive and detrimental to children
A bad parent does not know where their child is. A bad parent let’s their child do and say anything to anyone with no consequences. A bad parent let’s their child run over them. A bad parent does not have a clue what a good parent is. That’s what’s wrong with the children today. There is no consequences to their bad behavior. Good for her. Hell, we were spanked coming up. It’s called discipline and there is a difference between that and abuse.
I don’t find anything wrong with this! Spanking is not beating your child it is teaching them right from wrong! I strongly believe that these unruly, ungrateful, rude kids now need more than a spanking! And the parents that raise these little brats need a good shit kicking themselves! Teach your kids respect and you would not raise little hellions!!!!
Kids need there butts spanked..that’s the reason for a lot of Brats parents are so afraid to make them behave.
To be clear hitting your child and spanking your child are two entirely different things. A couple of seats in the behind hurts no one. And helps the child learn boundaries. You go Mom!!
Spanking within reason never hurt a child..maybe their feelings. This time out crap or 1-2-3 stupidity does not help. That isn’t punishment.
We were spanked and it’s effective when done right. That’s what’s wrong with this generation no discipline, kids need boundaries. I raised 5 by myself and their great kids
Nothing wrong with getting your child under control. That’s one the reason children today are si disrespectful! No one is saying abuse your kids. But make them understand consequences. Nothing like a southern Mom! Kids today are running all over their parents!
