Katharine McPhee and David Foster Share Parenting Approach for Raising 2-Year-Old Son Rennie

Stars Katharine McPhee and David Foster prioritize setting boundaries and promoting kindness in bringing up their 2-year-old son, despite differing parenting styles, while also dealing with the tragic loss of their son's nanny.

Katharine McPhee and David Foster, despite having different parenting styles, are united in their approach of strict boundary-setting and promoting kindness in bringing up their 2-year-old son, Rennie.
The couple's son Rennie has developed an affinity for their holiday album 'Christmas Songs', specifically the song 'I'll be Home for Christmas', even favoring it over versions by other artists.
McPhee describes her parenting style as belonging to the 'newer generation of gentle parenting', including patience and explanatory dialogues with her son, differing from Foster's traditional approach.
Katharine McPhee emphasizes the difficulties of changing a 2-year-old's clothes, likening the process to an 'aerobics class' given Rennie's strength and disliking of clothes changing.
Recently, the family mourned the tragic loss of their nanny, Yadira Calito, who was fatally hit by a vehicle. Despite this tragedy, McPhee and Foster have returned to touring and plan to release the second part of their holiday album later this year.
