Kelly Clarkson Reveals What Her Daughter Said That Made Her Feel Like She ‘Succeeded As A Parent’

The Singer Turned Talk Show Host Relocated With Her 2 Kids From L.A. To New York City For Season 5 Of Her Hit Show
Kelly Clarkson Is Feeling Settled.
Having Just Relocated From Los Angeles To New York City For Season 5 Of Her Hit Talk Show, Clarkson, 41, Has Been Building A New Life For Herself And Her Two Kids, Daughter River Rose, 9, And Son Remington Alexander, 7 (Whom She Shares With Ex-Husband Brandon Blackstock, 47).
“I Was Very Unhappy In L.A. And Had Been For Several Years," She Tells People In This Week’s Cover Story. "I Needed A Fresh Start."
The Move Has Been The Right Choice For Her Entire Family. “[Remington] Walked Out Of The School Here And Was Like, ‘'This Is The School For Me. This Is Better Than The Last School. This Is Where I Should Be.’ And He’s 7,” She Says. “So It’s Amazing That Work Is Going Well, But As A Mom, That’s A Win For Your Kid.”
As A Mother, Clarkson Also Admits She “Can Be Hard On Myself, But I Think I Do A Pretty Good Job. I’m Definitely Not A Helicopter Mom,” She Adds. “I Like That They’re Independent, But I’m Adamant About My Schedule, Making Sure I’m There As Much As I Can Be. There’s No Perfect Parent; I’m Definitely Screwing Up My Children Somehow! But I’m Doing My Best.”
