The keys to raising happy kids that Super Nanny doesn’t tell you
There are many things to like about the television show Super Nanny that has captured the public interest recently.
First, the nanny character is very likeable, if a little scary at times. She has that old-fashioned school-teacher demeanour that says, Listen up. I know best and I am in charge here. Many of the families featured need someone who takes charge.
Second, if you are a parent, how can you not get involved in a show that gets you into the challenges of child rearing in such a nitty gritty, warts nall way that doesnt involve you? Okay, it is voyeuristic but it is doesnt relate to you, does it???!!! Importantly, this program has got people talking about raising kids, which is fantastic.
Third, while I dont agree with every technique presented the program gives good, solid advice and strategies about some common challenges many parents face. Importantly, it helps parenting become a happy experience again for many people as it is the little challenges that we face that can make the job so difficult.
