Kelly Clarkson wants her children to make their own mistakes.

The Breakaway singer - who has River Rose, 12, and 10-year-old Remington with late ex-husband Brandon Blackstock - is trying to navigate her eldest daughter through a difficult time at school and while she will offer her advice, she'll also be supportive when the tween wants to make her own decisions.

Kelly told E! News: "I'm a pretty progressive parent, so I'm like, 'No, no. You're gonna make your own mistakes, and that's OK.'

"I'm not like an 'I told you so,' but I do implement advice.

"They're growing up. 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.'

"I've had them be like, 'OK, so I didn't do that, and I should have.'"

Meanwhile, the 44-year-old star is having a great time working on the new season of The Voice with new coaches Queen Latifah and Riley Green, as well as show veteran Adam Levine.

She said of the newcomers: "What's amazing about Queen is she's such a legend.

"I know people throw around the term legend a lot, but she actually is. She's done so much, be it Broadway and movie musicals, be it rapping, be it singing, be it acting, whatever it is. She's just always doing stuff.

"That brought just a legendary kind of status to the show for us this season.

"Riley is just currently crushing it on the charts, like everywhere. His career has blown up. It's a different point in his career for him, too. So it's fun. They're bringing that different energy of what's happening in their world at this chapter in their lives."

Adam claimed victory last season with Alexia Jayy, but Kelly admitted he is far more "chill" about his success on The Voice than she would be.

She said: "He doesn't really brag like that. He's not that guy. I totally would. I'd be like, 'Good luck,' just for fun or whatever. But he's pretty chill about it."
