Summary: Discipline Tips That Work For Us
"SUPERNANNY" has discipline guidance relative to a spectrum of ages, infant through elementary school age and offers a variety of specific interventions of how to get better behavior from a child. I found Jo's advice to be easy to understand and I agree with the majority of suggested interventions especially on getting your child to sleep in his own bed at night. This book emphasizes 3 main areas to focus on: Putting an immediate stop to the undesirable or dangerous behavior in the heat of the moment (like whining, backtalk, hitting, tantrums and not listening)...Continuing to use "positive" discipline (outside the heat of the moment) by noticing and encouraging the good behaviors (like cleaning up, healthy eating, uses manners, sharing, and following a bedtime routine) and...lastly "Supernanny" stresses the importance and positive effects of adults prioritizing daily one-on-one time with each child that serves to strengthen the relationship between parent and child therby getting more cooperation from the child just because he knows he is important and understood.
As a teacher and mother of a very active 3-year-old, I highly recommend "SUPERNANNY" along with another parent friendly reference book that I purchased with this one called "THE POCKET PARENT", written soley for parents of 2, 3, 4, and 5 year-olds. These books are indeed "better together" as they compliment each other's helpful child rearing information. Neither book needs to be read cover to cover, but rather as you need it by subject (like bedtime, tantrums, etc)...giving you tons of quick-read discipline tips and strategies to consider trying on just about every challenging behavior your child throws your way.
Summary: Great resource
I bought this book for a friend and for my sister after watching the SuperNanny perform miracles on TV. The book is really nice and summarizes well the techniques she uses. What would be great to have as an addition would be some child psychologist's evaluation of her suggestions.
Summary: Hightly recommennded
Not only is Jo Frost a great nanny (I've watched the show), she is a good writer as well, and the book is laid out in an easy to read manner. We've always used timeouts in our house, but our children continued to be terrors and the book clearly explains what we have been doing incorrectly. All I have to do now is give my kids a warning about the Naughty spot, and it works beautifully. I love how she has addresses specific situations, such as dressing, shopping, sibling fights, etc. A great book for any parent, no matter how difficult (or not) your children are.
