We all know Kelly Clarkson is a strong and empowered woman, and she’s making sure her daughter River grows up to be strong just like she is.

“I love that [River] is very bold, and she’s progressive for three,” Kelly tells “People.” “She watches ‘Jurassic Park’ and loves it, and ‘Harry Potter’…it doesn’t affect her and she’s just very grown up and very boss.”

She adds, “I don’t want my daughter to be a pushover when she’s older. So that’s an awesome thing, it’s an awesome aspect of her character. At the same time, you also want to have an adult that doesn’t think they’re right all the time. But toddlers are just so egocentric and it’s just a stage that some people don’t grow out of, let’s be real. But mine will.”

And Kelly has no doubt that her daughter will grow up to be a leader.  “She will run a company one day because there’s no way she’s gonna work for anyone,” she says. “She does not heed advice very well. She’s just very ballsy, which is awesome.”
