For those whose last exposure to Kelly Osbourne was watching her on the reality series “The Osbournes“, you may remember her as being sort of whiny, overweight, and pampered, as you’d expect as the daughter of a notorious rock star. With a lifestyle like that, it seemed inevitable that she begin a downward spiral culminating in drug addiction, and indeed, in 2004 she was admitted to a rehabilitation facility in Malibu, California for an addiction to painkillers.
However, she’s managed to overcome her issues and turned her life around, and look at her now! She’s wowing the crowd on “Dancing With the Stars”, looking fresh-faced and glowing. She is absolutely a testament to the power of positive parenting.
Kelly has made no secret about her bond to her parents, especially mother Sharon, who is absolutely the backbone of the Osbourne family. Kelly credits her as being someone to whom she can tell anything, and given the sorts of things Kelly must have had to tell her over the years, that’s saying a lot.
I’ve said this before, but it cannot be stressed too strongly: keep communication open between you and your kid. As difficult as things might get during tough times, listening without judgment and giving your attention and love unconditionally can only benefit the both of you.
