Extreme parenting....on now


This looks like it is going to be good I like Jo Frost the woman from Supernanny.And now she is just Jo Frost Extreme parenting.....Just started Channel4. Looks like its going to be interesting if a little confrontational between parents/Jo/children.

Re: Extreme parenting....on now


The need for programmes like this makes me wonder if it is society’s way of trying to correct the fact that most families are now single units....not multi layered age groups as it used to be and families are separated by distance, time and life styles.I ask as my nephews and nieces all have interaction with grandparents, cousins, uncles, aunts ( ) Etc etc and time spent with them. The number of their friends who have never been to a theatre, meal out (apart from MacDonald’s) or have time spent writing, reading, doing puzzles games or merely cooking/baking, let alone sitting down to a meal - with family is frightening. What has happened to the family values, when did Children take over....and is this how we get the so called "feral" children.

A very good question Karen! it is such a shame that so many children are 'raised' nowadays with no moral structure, or family values, and the days of your granny or neighbour giving you a clout round the ear if you did something wrong has long gone, to afraid of the consequences now!

Here here i quite agree.
I find i can't bear to watch this type of programme. I have worked with children for 30 years, some with challenging behaviour and i feel like i've had my fill
