The conversation was a surprise for the singer and talk show host, but it has positive results.

"I had said something and I did not mean to hurt his feelings, but he was like, ‘You kind of hurt my feelings,’ and he voiced himself so clearly," Kelly said of her young son.
"I was just so proud of him for using all the correct words and not being overwhelmed emotionally. He just said it so clear and calm. I was like, 'OK. I could learn something from you today.’ The moments that seem small are really epic."
Even though she's a celebrity, Kelly has the same fears any mom. She shared that she "can be hard on myself, but I think I do a pretty good job. I’m definitely not a helicopter mom," she added. "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."
