Supernanny is always proof that when kids are acting out it's because the parents are failing at something. Look to yourself when you are bothered by something your child is doing.

It's astounding how many parents are reluctant to discipline their children because they believe the child will dislike them.  OMG.... discipline is not abuse! Children require it to grow up with a responsible character.

Mum, "what have I done".  Excuse me, its what you haven't done, DISCIPLINE!

I love how Jo gets the kids back on track, because after all, the kids are good and the parents just need guidance.

Those pacifiers will ruin their teeth; James has a lisp; teeth have an overbite

In fact, discipline and expression of your boundaries has the opposite effect - children actually feel safer, respect you more and like to know exactly where they stand with you. Even if it doesn’t seem like they do when they contest and fight back, they actually respect you.

Poor neighbours!

Ridiculous behaviour by both parents & child.

This is the best show for birth control ever.

This generation needs a super nanny🙏🏼 the amount of parents who let their kids run around touching everything @ restaurants including flinging rice & noodles all over is mind blowing. Not one word said to any of them

If you really think your kids will hate you for holding out against a tantrum, I’m guessing you didn’t have the happiest childhood yourself. I feel for the mum, she seems very unconfident.

As a parent - you have to be the one in charge- the one with the responsibility. Children who have no guide lines, who gets to decide too much, are left with a lot of responsibility, that they never should have in the first place. And that makes them confused and miserable. For me disciplin is not about punishing or beating your children, but about showing children that unacceptable behaviour have consequences.

My daughter HATED staying with her grandmother, in another state, because she said, "Grandma let's me do anything I want. I don't think she cares about me or what happens to me." It was SO SAD to hear....

Parents emotionally dysregulated their toddler, then blame toddler and make toddler the whole family scapegoat. Fkd up!

My niece does and did not get rules, boundaries and limitations. She fights with her parents, cusses, does not do household chorse, did not make new friends since moving and does not go to school since 6 months.

Our son, her cousin, follows rules, gets consequences (like no tv nor playstation), for wrongdoing, knows that everyone has boundaries (he has his own, too) and that there are limitations because that's how society works.
He has good grades, friends, hobbies and is a very loving, caring and an empathatic human being. We are very proud how he turned out 😊❤.
We are not two of his teenager friends, we are his parents, who are his beacon light to look up to. We teach him how to communicate, allow him to be angry with our decisions, to express disappointment and be right or wrong about it.
We are the ones showing him how to make mistakes, because we make them too, how to say sorry, how to make amends and move on. How to be happy and sad, how to manage anger and how to navigate through life even if that means not to get everything you want.

Poor Luke. It's like he's not there.

Sadly, all those children have been assigned a role, Matthew is definitely the scapegoat. Matthew is hypervigilant, he's constantly scanning the room, nervously. He doesn't know whether he's Arthur or Martha!

Supernanny shows the extreme cases but almost every parent today is trapped in endless negotiating 🙃 I tried every choice chart on the market but mornings still ended in a massive debate with my 5yo. Luckily someone told me to read Why Good Parenting Fails by author nora bryant and it restored calm authority! We actually laugh together now, My top on the list) this should seriously be taught in schools

The household is filled with demented behavior

The children are miserable, Mathew is miserable, he doesn't understand why he's upset and the adults just hate him for it. The adults aren't curious. And they don't stop the others bullying him. This kid has been alive 3 years. It's not his fault.
