Jo Frost, a.k.a Supernanny, is the answer to every stressed parent's dreams. In Channel 4's prime time series, Jo works miracles on unruly children, by dispensing tough love, no-nonsense rules and reassuring us that parents do know best. The Supernanny method gives parents the know-how to tackle any problem area, be it mealtime, bathtime, bedtime, bedwetting, homework, sibling rivalry, aggressive behaviour or a child who just won't do what he or she is told. In an era where parents are bombarded with conflicting or guilt-laden messages at every turn, and sometimes obey their kids' commands rather than the other way around, this is an upbeat, back-to-basics approach to restoring harmony and authority in the home. Jo has a magical way with children, but her methods are simple and can and do work for anyone: regular routine, consistency, verbal warnings, time out after misbehaviour, and rewarding good behaviour with lots of attention. And of course there's Jo's hallmark - the famous naughty step. So whether your ten-month-old won't sleep through the night, or your two-year-old is out of control, Jo knows what to do and can show you how to do it. For anyone who doesn't feel in charge at home, this is a godsend of a book full of brilliantly commonsense advice - the only parenting book you'll ever want.

Summary: 3 teens and a 2 year old!
Comment: My 2year old has been a lesson in what I didn't know, despite having raised 3 teens! I saw this on ParentsDigest and realized that I was just using inappropriate language and discipline, because I was used to dealing with teenagers! I've found a lot of helpful advice in this book, and a few reminders of things I already knew as well.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great for parents and grandparents

Summary: AWESOME BOOK A+++!!!
Comment: Great techniques to help parents that are at the end of their rope, and just do not know what else to try to get their child under control. My wife and I have a handsome 2 1/2 year old son that we love more than anything else in this world. We were past the point of being frustrated when it came time to take him to the grocery store, or out to a restaurant. He wouldn't ride in the cart, hold our hand and walk, or stay in his seat, but as soon as we tried the techniques offered by Jo Frost's books we saw an instant change in our sons behavior. He sat in the shopping cart the entire time at the grocery store, and was not miserable while sitting in the cart either. He was laughing, and we actually enjoyed our trip to the store with him for the first time EVER.
If you are shopping for these books, stop shopping and buy this book, and the other book by Jo Frost. You will then actually start to enjoy your children, instead of feeling like it is a miserable never-ending chore. A+++ book. BUY IT NOW!!!
