posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out

55. "RE: Super Nanny ***Autism cured in a week***" |
I work with autistic children. I'm glad that they brought in a specialist. I've often wondered if some of the other children in other shows would benefit from some testing. I'm surprised that they didn't recommend sending the boy to a special program or preschoool or speech therapist for additional help. The boy wasn't cured,of course, but it showed how to make a breakthrough and how to attempt to get him to communicate and get involved.

>I've been watching Supernanny since it started and it's hard to believe how clueless some parents are. The episode you mentioned, that woman was totally clueless. She fit the dumb blonde stereotype almost perfectly. Her wardrobe didn't leave alot to the imagination. In fact, she leaned over once and we got a real view! Almost topless TV. The last episode with the Wischmeyer family really hit home. There was a couple with a 9 year old boy and twin 4 year old girls. The best way to describe it was the girls got no discipline and the boy got disciplined whether he did something or not! The girls would harass him and if he tried to say anything about it, he'd be sent to his room or punished in some other way. The Nanny described it as he was being punished every time he tried to express his opinion, and was really getting frustrated by it. In other words, he was punished whenever the girls did something.
I dealt with similar treatment when I was growing up. When Nanny left and one of the girls harassed him in his room while doing homework, something that was against the rules, he told the girl to get out of his room, his mother yelled at him for using a disrespectful one with his sister! Nanny gave him a "Thought Box," where he could put notes about his thoughts his mother could read and discuss with him. When he said he thought there were no consequnces for the girls when they did something to him and he was punished when he spoke up, the mother actually made excuses like "You were 4 once." The Nanny came back and corrected this, and the mother even once actually defended her son when he was playing a video game and one of the girls shut it off, and even punished the girl for doing it(send to the naughty corner). Those little girls acted like they had never been told to do anything by their parents in their lived and did whatever they wanted, and fought back at everything. That wouldn't have flown with my parents. Some kids need a good old fashioned spanking! I don't understand how parents can be so clueless as to let the kids take over the house, even when they are only 4 years old! Craig Stirling Champion of law, order, and justice.

I think Super Nanny teaches techniques that steer clear of physical punishment/violence. These are good for all parents to learn. I especially like the sleep technique where the parents stay in the room and sit in the floor and look down. Lets the kids know you are there rather than making them CRY IT OUT and you shut the door behind you and leave them. I would never do that to my kids! Spanking is not the answer and good care givers know this and seek out other ways to discipline (AKA TO TEACH)

30. "RE: Sleep technique!! (help)" |
You put the child in bed with "kisses and cuddles" and a book reading, warm bath and all that. Then you sit on the floor of the room near the bed looking face down. If the child gets up you put him back in bed. The first time you say "time for bed" after this there is no talking you just put them into bed. You stay until they are asleep. You do this for a few weeks and move further and further away from the bed, by door, into hallway. For more information you can check out her book which gives detailed info--it's called Super Nanny too. Hope it helps!

are you joking! that takes to much time! I guarantee that with my technique they will never get out of bed again. It will only take one day, not a few weeks. so here it goes - Grab a belt. Stand over the bed and say "If you get out of bed you will be getting spanked." Works like a charm!

Drones, I hear what you are saying and you are right on!
It was so much easier with extended family helping you out and now it's the nucleur family unit and we have to do all the work with minimal help (especially if you are a stay at home mom or dad and most of the families are on this show!). So we need to take advantage of literature to help us along the way to becoming the best parents we can be and raising our children and nurturing them into happy and healthy adults!

All I can say is (and I've heard super nanny talk about the same thing) get the children involved in picking up at an early age, and helping when ever possible. I didn't for my eldest, and she now is 15 and does NOTHING!!! I SO regret picking up after her, and now I am definitely paying for it, and unfortunately she will have a tougher life now because of me doing this. Very, very, important.
Hope it helps some...

try this alternate technique...If your kid wants to act crazy you do the same. First threaten them with a spanking. If they still act out spank that #####! I guarantee, after that you will only have to threaten them with a spanking. Don't listen to these santimonious jerks that say spanking is wrong. If you don't discipline them now they will walk all over you!!!

36. "RE: Super Nanny" |
As a child psychologist I am very aware of the detrimental consequences of spanking a child. I know that you are probably an extremely lazy parent who cares nothing about facts. You would rather just spank the kid then teach them. That would take effort and education on the issues. Its clear to see you are a very uneducated and angry person. They don't learn good communication skills. I would like to say your post is a poster child for this reason. They learn that when someone does something I don't like I hit them. They never learn alternative ways and a strikingly large percent end up with assault and battery charges later on. They come to fear their parents and feel helpless. Their self esteem is decreased so drastically they begin to believe they do not deserve to be treated with respect. There is no difference in hitting/spanking a child leads to hitting a spouse. In fact more then 90% of domestic violence cases involve a woman who was spanked as a child (I was bad mom hits me, I was bad husband hits me) that is one reason they stay so long. Husbands have an even higher percent of spanking because they don't have the skills to solve a problem without hitting. A child can not understand the difference of why you can hit them but they can not hit the kid who took their toy. They grow up to feel bad about themselves. There is NOT ONE study that shows spanking is NOT HARMFUL. Of hundreds of studies the results are clear it is damaging. This is fine for someone to selfish to care what is best for the child and wants the easy way out. So you just keep on doing what you are doing. But the fact is you are permanently leaving scares on your child and lowering their chance of happiness and success in life.
I will share an example from my own experience. When I was in college I worked at a day care center. One day a young boy asked his younger sister to come play with him. She was with another little girl and said "no." So the little boy walks over and slaps her butt. I asked him why and he said "She wouldn't listen to me. That is what mom does when she does not listen."
I really do not think I could make this any clearer.

>My questions is this:

IMHO I think one of the most important tools we have to help children is called "CORPORAL PUNISHMENT!" The Bible clearly says "Spare the rod, spoil the child." If you aren't a Christian, I can see where you may not use this technique, but my dad to this day tells me and my sister "you're never too old for me to put you over my knee." Even though he's much older now and can hardly get around with his walker, he means it and both of us know that we can only go so far before he demands respect. I remember when my sister was in her 20's, married with a child and was acting like a lunatic. She was being a spoiled brat and threatened to kill herself because she didn't get her way. This was at a get-together with a bunch of people at our house. My dad grabbed her and spanked her in front of all of those people. I'll never forget that moment. I'm tired of the government telling us what we can and cannot do to OUR children! Yes, there is a difference between child abuse and spanking a child and some people need to learn between the 2. However, when that little girl who's father died and was lashing out at her mother which included pushing her down the stairs, the mother should have grabbed her and giben her something to think about. Just my opinion... I'm sure I'll get some lashing for this!

I understand your point. Any idea where the quote originally came from? I do think that even though it isn't a direct quote from the Bible that the principle is a true one and applies to all discipline and not just spanking...if you don't dicipline it's not good for the kids. (as evidenced by all the "kids gone wild" on the two nanny shows)

51. "RE: Super Nanny" |
I don't agree. When you tell someone "Spare the rod, spoil the child" we are not dealing with ANY OTHER FORM OF DISCIPLINE then SPANKING. This misquotation of scripture ONLY guides those to spank as a form of discipline rather than doing any other form of discipline. That is why I think it is necessary, when you are going to say the Bible says this or this that you actually quote directly from it rather than giving the "secular" summary of a scripture.

I really like watching this show. I like Jo a lot better than Nanny 911, although I like watching both. The ones on 911 don't seem as calm and structured.
It really is scary how some of these families live. BUT-I don't know if I would want cameras in my home!

I like nanny Jo too, but I feel bad that ABC won't spring to buy her a new suit. She only seems to have one suit (the purple one) which she wears several times each and every episode. One would think, hanging around small children, that she would need more than one suit.

They've all been on Oprah. And Nanny 911 aired several weeks before Supernanny, so even if Supernanny was the original, FOX beat ABC to the airwaves.

After watching both versions of this show, two sides of the same coin, I've come to a few conclusions.1.For the most part I like the techniques that the Nannies are using. 2.Some of these families have problems that can only be solved by some serious counseling. 3.Some of the incidents appear to be stagged and/or instigated by the producers. 4.All of these parents have two ways of dealing with their unruley children a. they do nothing b. they over react by yelling and/or hitting and spanking. 5.The Dads seem more willing to listen to the Nannies than the Moms at first, and get with the program sooner and more enthusiastically. 6.Organization and discipline = a less chaotic hosehold.

59. "12/11/06 Show: The Weinsteins" |
Good episode. The Weinstein kids had their own version of Bill Cosby's "The Same Thing Happens Every Night." They just would not get to bed without screaming, punching and even cussing out the adults, bringing them to the bedroom time and again! As shocking as it was to hear the kids get bleeped was the realization that they wouldn't be doing so if they hadn't heard so from their parents. I can totally empathize as someone who used to play his mom like a Stradivarius; any attention was good attention. It was tough for the parents not to react to them, but they had to learn not to give the kids the satisfaction of getting to them. And what a transformation in the dad! He actually allowed himself to be human, and thus a dad. And a husband. That can only help. Nice work, Jo.

LAST EDITED ON 02-13-07 AT 08:57 AM (EST)Okay, dads, tell all your teenage daughters:
"I hope your hair falls out."
But I'm glad the dad and the 13-year-old kissed and made up. Although not as much a sexpot as the mother described upthread, the mom did enjoy wearing this one particularly revealing top. The eldest daughter with MS cerebral palsy was so small, but it was obvious that she had a well-functioning mind inside a body that just wouldn't let her express herself. It's hard to ignore a child that can push buttons like the one daughter, but it's necessary. And the youngest wasn't on camera much, except during the credits.

I have to say, watching this show makes me think I'm a pretty darn good mom, and my kids' behavior is fantastic (relatively speaking)! The 3 yo girl last night was unbelievable. The tantrums! I'm glad the father finally got the message (at least a little bit) that the parents have to work as a team. He, like so many of the fathers on this show, was constantly undermining the mom when she tried to discipline the kids. Has anyone tried any of Jo Frost's techniques, like the naughty spot or the bedtime routine? Anyone actually written out a schedule for their family and posted it on the kitchen wall? I'd love to see them broadcast follow ups with these families, about 6 months after the nanny's visit, to see if they stick to the "techniques" and if they really work.

Nanny Jo is the best, isn't she? But I doubt that many of the kids stay well-behaved after she leaves, mostly because the parents probably get lazy again. Those elaborate posters and such that she makes for them are probably kinda hard to upkeep when there aren't television cameras around, don't you think? My favorite is when Nanny Jo sits the parents down and has a serious chat with them...she is never afraid to stand up to them! She's the reason why I watch the show

65. "RE: Super Nanny" |
I agree, I doubt the parents keep up the good work after Jo leaves. I've found the naughty step works wonders, since my son turned 6. Before that, it was impossible. I don't agree with spanking, I'd feel so bad if I did it I'd probably end up spoiling my child afterwards - how is that teaching them discipline? Though I was slapped as a child and it did me no harm.
At the moment, I've awful issues with my 13-month-old daughter. I can't leave her with a childminder. She cries all day because she only wants to be with me, she won't play with anything or sleep or eat for them. She's been dismissed from a creche and a childminder. Now I'm trying her with a third childcare centre! She also won't sleep unless I'm beside her so she can play with my hair. I wish I could have the services of Supernanny.
Otherwise she's a beautiful, delightful child and I love her very much!
