[@marleymars2223]

Wtf does she think disciplining is? Does she think her son is an animal? Just talk to him like he's a person!!!

[@MsJubjubbird]

@@marleymars2223 Some parents assume that means spanking and yelling. But Jo never spanks or yells. She just makes it bit unpleasant for the kid for a little bit- which is the whole point of discipline.

[@KSJen]

Exactly! If you as a parent dont, trust me.. he's gonna end up with the wrong people, be the wrong "people" or meet that one person who will not sit idly.

[@Danovio]

everytime super nanny talks about the chill out chair all i wanna yell is " pull out the chill out slap laura!!!"

[@cary9479]

If discipline means to force them to obey orders they don't understand, than it is great, if it means to teach them how to communicate the reason (for example emptions) in a healthy way than it is great. And punishments (consequences are something different, for example the child paint in the wall the consequence would be, that the child cleans it, punishment would be nearly everything else, becauseit isn't a direct consequence of the action, but a random punishment) also don't help in the long run.

[@Spindler2007]

According to Supernanny Wiki, sometime shortly after filming of the episode, the entire family was evicted from their apartment, citing that neither they nor the show's producers had permission from the former's landlord to tape the episode. The children had also wrecked the home by scribbling on the walls, ripping off the toilet seats, kicking holes in the walls, the family had a dog in the home which was against the rules so dog feces stained the floor which does explain the £5000 in damages you read out in the article. It also stated that the parents had divorced 5 years after filming the episode.

[@Sh12pen]

Yeah, when I first found that out, that was wild

[@Spindler2007]

@Sh12pen indeed. It shows that the family was not all squeaky clean as shown in the episode.

[@Sh12pen]

@Spindler2007 beyond not squeaky clean, NOT SANE, how on earth and the whole history of existence does someone let the place in which they are living in get that dirty and destroyed??? Let alone leave it like that

The mum in this episode is just so infuriating. If she doesn't trust Stuart to discipline her child then why the hell are they together? All of this was her fault. How can someone say: "oh hes my baby i love him too much to discipline him" Like girl did you love it when he punched you in the lip? Did you like it when the middle gild started acting the same? People like this shouldnt be parents

[@invadermaythe1st]

Bro she can’t even trust herself to discipline tbe child either

[@Raven1303x]

Yeah and then society are left to deal with the consequences of her inaction as a parent.

[@isobelduncan]

If there’s one thing I’ve noticed from watching this show, it’s that the kids’ behaviour usually stems from their parents. Whether they’re not disciplining them *properly,* being too indulgent or being negligent, or there’s conflict in the family. It’s not too different with World’s Strictest Parents. The kids are either going through stuff that they don’t know how to deal with, or their parents aren’t being firm enough with them.

[@soneko9494]

@@isobelduncan Yeah I agree. It feels like some of these parents have children without thinking about how they're going to raise them

[@analuizafms_]

and, i hate to bring that in point but if you dont trust your partner to discipline the kid WHY THE HELL would you trust him around the kid? people do bad things to kids all the time if you dont think he's the dad i don't think he should be living with a child so small

[@Beeperoni]

You hit the nail on the head, little dude is definitely exhibiting signs of ASD. Lots of parents don’t bring their kids in for assessment because they can’t handle the reality that something is “wrong” with their kids. It really sets the kids up for failure.

[@Hairyfartchocolate69]

Mine took me for the assessment and when it came back with autism, they promptly pretended it wasn't the case and never offered an ounce of empathy or support. Just called me names and blamed me.

[@xletragedyx]

Yea it's so stupid. They're putting their egos above their child. There are so many behavioral, emotions, and educational services they could and should get for him.

[@howareyoualiveifyoudonteatbeef]

Not every kid with ASD is a violent kid. Quit demonising us all as 'bad kids'.

[@eternitae0_035]

If I child is autistic, it’s not going to go away if they don’t get assessed. I know for myself growing up would have been a whole lot easier if I was diagnosed younger, because I spent my entire childhood feeling shitty about myself for not ‘trying hard enough’ at a lot of things to do with my autism, like socialising, because I was comparing myself to allistics

[@alexshaw8167]

A parental unit that’s not allowed to discipline the child… There’s no way this can go wrong

[@dianacarbonate]

I was with my now husband for a year before I even met his/now our kids. The youngest is so much like me, he was 8 and didn't want to sit down and eat dinner, so I told him that if he didn't, I would take his tablet away for 24 hours. When I left the room, I heard my husband say, Don't worry, we're not going to do that. ??! He would play with them for hours, and then when he had to go to the office for a bit, he would yell, I want both of you to have your rooms cleaned before I get back!! You hear me?? I don't want to come home to a mess!! Get it done!! And then tell me to make sure they do it, as both the kids run to their rooms upset and slam their doors. Yeah, okay. And then when the boy his adolescence and started talking back and refusing to listen, my husband told ME to "stop antagonizing him" because he just wanted everyone to shut up. Sorry, that got out of hand. There's a reason we're separated, lol.

When you date or marry someone with kids, you have to talk about boundaries and expectations, on both sides. Don't assume anything. Things may change as you go along, but you need to communicate everything from day one. Trust me.

Not only bruises but it can create cuts if rubbed hard or fast enough. Learned this accidentally.

[@mjhay1830]

Now imagine being a teacher of that boy, displaying that behaviour /violence and every time you approached the parent you get no support at all!

[@Jessi-44]

As an educator , that really is the biggest toughest thing about the job. I used to teach a four year old child who behaved in the same violent manner and his parents just would not listen, even when his other teachers would speak to them. Not even for the incident where he quite literally tried to break another child’s arm. There’s only so much you can do when parents don’t actually want to parent.

[@plumreid]

Agreed, you can always tell when a child has never had consequences. You know she's not going to accept a school disciplining her baby if she won't let his step father do it.

[@sunneinsplendour8459]

I teach upper - elementary students and it's very alarming how many parents don't parent their kids and think they can do no wrong. By the time they are preteens, this kind of behavior has escalated to the extent where it is very difficult to fix. I don't know how parents like this think that they're doing their kids any favors.

[@blondbraid7986]

All parents should be forced to read up on Joel and Lisa Guy. They basically kept enabling their son's antisocial and selfish behavior until they couldn't support him anymore, and then their entitled spawn immedeatly decided to end their life to get their life insurance. Seriously, nobody, not even the child, will find anything good to gain from parents who enable them and let them grow up thinking consequences are just some abstract thing that happens to other people.

[@KingDomsKingdom85]

They believe this whole nonsense known as peaceful parenting, when in reality, it's incredibly damaging. Children need to know they have boundaries, and they look to the parents in order to enforce them, when they don't, the kid will push and push to see where the REAL boundary is. It's all logical.

[@shannonceleste5557]

@blondbraid7986 add Joel and Lisa Guy to a LONG list of children killing their own parents for $ ... or kids killing their parents bc the parents won't let them date someone, go to a party, etc :/

[@shannonceleste5557]

@KingDomsKingdom85 tbf, I believe 'peaceful/gentle parenting' is another ideology that's true meaning has become muddled by it's name (see also: Defund the Police, and the like) Gentle parenting is, at its core, what SuperNanny teaches. It gained popularity when Gen X grew up, had their own kids, and wanted to raise their children without the violence and fear that they experienced as children. No yelling, no hitting, listening to their kids, calm communication, explaining the rules, etc Unfortunately it fell into the social media phenomenon of 'the few and the loud', so now when people hear the term they think it just means letting kids run amok with no discipline :/

[@samanthaw.861]

I think the problem with a lot of these parents is they’re afraid to discipline their kids because in their minds, “discipline” = “corporal punishment”. It doesn’t have to be that extreme. As a parent of a toddler myself, I’m a big fan of the time-out method. In fact I’ve only had to use it once. Time-out isn’t supposed to be fun, and it wasn’t fun for him when I did it. Now all I have to do is ask if he wants to go in time out and he immediately corrects himself 😅

[@sarahq10]

When I was younger and me or my siblings were acting out, she’d turn around and give us one look and it would scare us straight so fast lol. Discipline is NEEDED for all children. Children need to know that bad behaviour is not allowed, and it’ll affect them later in life if they don’t learn these lessons at a young age. Obviously you don’t need to hit your children if they’re acting out, but there are a hundred other ways to teach your children right from wrong. Leading by example being one. If you’re a parent and have no boundaries or rules, why would a child care about other peoples boundaries and rules. Children mimic their care takers. Lead by example!

[@najpotenicewolf934]

Honestly, yeah. While my parent never full-on spank me, they gave me sometimes a light smack on the backside when I was throwing tantrums and staff. The thing is, I'm not sure it actually ever did anything. At some point they realized it's pointless and stopped. But let's just say they started to ground me (no comupter, no going out with friends, no TV). Yeah, that one quickly made me decide that repeating the same mistakes was not worth it. A week or more without nothing fun to do feels like a torture when you're kid. xD

[@sophiecampbell4120]

I still remember my mom sending me to time out and I would sit and face a blank wall. It was so boring that I didn’t want to get in trouble again. Discipline doesn’t have to be violent or loud or harsh to be effective

[@laurengomez5288]

Right? It's literally simply teaching your kid that actions have consequences. If I cross X boundary, then I'll have to deal with Y consequence. Do they understand it in those terms? No. Do they internalize that information and learn it? Yes!

[@Supersoccerchic]

I love that people on here(not you, I'm talking about other people on here, mainly trolls) say that time-out doesn't work and resort to spanking and beating and hitting their kids saying that works. For me, when and if I have kids, I'm not spanking them or doing anything to hurt them to teach them right from wrong. Time-out WILL work and I don't care if my child is my child and "all children are different". Yes, all children are different but you don't need to not use time-out with all your kids. Time-out works and is much better than hitting your kids and locking them in their bedrooms.

I have no sympathy for these people. As a real nanny, not someone that plays one on t.v. I can tell you, it takes longer than two weeks to change a child's behaviour. He didn't get to the point that he was punching his mother in the face in two weeks. You aren't going to correct it in that. His mother isn't " too nice", she's weak willed. She needs to stop being so childish about sharing her child with her husband and realise she needs his help. The two of them need to grow up before it's too late for their children.

I'm not sure if you're not familiar with reality tv in general, let alone this specific show, but the point obviously isn't for everything to change 180° in 2 weeks. It's teaching the parents tools. If you watch even one episode you'll see that you sound just like the parents lol. Jo continuously reiterates that these habits take time and consistency 24/7. It's a whole lifestyle change.

Ok, so? I have known kids with ADHD and they were absolute sweethearts. Same with autism. That's no excuse for bad behavior. Most kids who had behavior issues usually came from homes where their parents are either fighting/divorce, or something similar to this where one parent undermines the other.

@@natashaedwards8465 It’s not an excuse, but it shows they might need extra help. ADHD and Autism are a spectrum, and some symptoms might lead to behavior issues if not addressed properly. Especially if the parents won’t discipline the child. Children don’t just know how to behave good, you gotta teach them. And children lash out cause they don’t know how to control their emotions, (especially neurodivergent kids), so you have to teach them.

I really wish they wouldve said what happened to Matthews dad, like obviously this might be very personal and then weird mother and son relationships just do happen, like with the article youve shown in the beginning, but if the dad died this would definitely explain a lot why she is treating Matthew differently and wont let her husband near him, because she basically sees the husband that she lost in her son

[@lkm3s]

Should you ever find yourself being told by a partner with a child that you are not allowed to discipline them, leave. Run. Single parents alone are single parents. Stepparents are....PARENTS! You have to learn this mantra "I (or they) may not be your mom or dad, but they are your parent!" Listening is not optional. Turning each other against each other is not an option, and any parenting techniques that YOU use, are good enough for the stepparent too, so if you want to say they aren't allowed to do "x", make sure its something you aren't doing either.

[@HeyItsMad]

The real problem is this child has unmet needs. This isn't a child who hasn't learned what behaviour is expected from him. It's a child who cannot make concious decisions about how to behave because they don't have emotional regulation, impulse control, they have sensory stimulation they need or are overstimulated and they lack communication skills to access their needs in a less problematic way. The step father saying he isn't allowed to discipline the child makes me think that he has expressed a desire to control the child through punitive measures, something the child will have picked up on. The change to his environment has clearly had a bad impact. We hear the stepfather call an action naughty, which we know is lamgauge that tends to make children behave more poorly rather then behave better. Supernanny has absolutely no credentials or any understanding of child development. Her methods were already outdated at the time she was recording, and now they're ancient.

Diesel is such a horrific name, here are my twin boys diesel, petrol and their sister unleaded. Call a dog diesel not a child, sorry if there are people reading my comment that are called diesel, you have my deepest sympathy 😂😂😂

I'm not really surprised that Stuart wasn't doing anything regarding Matthew. Laura made it pretty clear that she wanted to be the only one raising him.

Yes it cheers one up just to hear him talk. Cheers me up anyway 😊👍

YESSS I LOVE CAMS SUPERNANNY REACTIONS

[@frog_kid9184]

honestly, I can see where the dad was coming to when he said like he was losing his daughter to laura, obviously that's not a good mindset but it's something that laura enforced into his head, his daughter is starting to act up like her older brother, he's not allowed to parent the older brother, I can see how some wires could get crossed and he feels like he's gonna lose his daughter

[@drawingfandome]

Diesel sounds like the name someone would give to a deviantart oc…hey wait a minute I make ocs…I’m writing that down for the books One of these days I’m just gonna draw a character and name it diesel for the funnies! 😂

[@viciousqueen5096]

8:39 the thing is, a child that already has behavioural issues and doesn't really get parented right at home, won't care if some Judo-trainer tells him that what he's learning isn't supposed to be used on others to hurt them. That only works on children who have good parents and good impulse control. It's not the child that is some spawn of hell, it all goes back to the parenting. Even if the behavioural issues stem from a condition like ADHD or ASD, if you notice your child has these issues, and won't listen to you, you'll get help from a specialist, a paediatrician, a child psychologist and not from a TV nanny. Being a nanny for 30 years is not the same as having an education or degree in childcare, pedagogy, developmental psychology and working with children who have special needs for 30 years.

[@kathybrem880]

[@patriciaduncan9454]

I'd like to see you react to the Southpark episode that has Super Nanny trying to discipline evil Eric Cartman. After Super Nanny ends up in a psych ward, the Dog Whisperer steps in and shows Eric who's the boss.

[@Originella]

Ironically, I am the firstborn, but my mom treats my younger brother like the golden child, so there's that...

[@antmangamer1536]

This guy is literally like a teacher constantly pausing a movie in class 😭😭😭😭

[@LaurenPebble]

Listening to her talk about how much she loves him and why that makes it hard to discipline him, I can’t help but imagine a future where he’s in jail for sexually assaulting and murdering 20 women and she’s still crying about how he’s just her little baby.

[@Ella_A_Star]

Knowing now from the comments that Supernanny wasn’t even allowed to film in the home, I wonder if that’s happened other times, like that she’s filmed in places she hasn’t been allowed to film in? I also wonder how much better off the families she “helps” are cause it seems like most of them get divorced, hurt, or there are other problems that happen.

[@jasoncawley6260]

Yeah when I hear them say she's yet to meet a child who'll best her or whatever it says makes me wonder are there clips never aired of times she took it to far and the parents realise they made a mistake bringing in a stranger to tell there kids what to do rather than just parenting better

[@Ella_A_Star]

@ I personally would like to know that too, because the show portrays Jo as a woman who can do no wrong, but we know that isn’t true. She’s human, she’s made mistakes, but all the problems are put on the parents, and only treating things seemingly on the surface.

[@a_tree5793]

I've never understood why some of these parents' first response is to broadcast their child being a little prick on national television rather than getting ahold of a social worker or child psychologist of some kind

[@amberatartimec2564]

Or some help with restraint techniques

[@shannonceleste5557]

Well, the show likely pays. So you get money AND a real Nanny to come into your home and teach you tools to be a more effective parent Also, we have no clue what these folks have tried or haven't tried. Not sure if it was this episode but I distinctly remember one where a kid had been kicked out of 2-3 schools To me it's even more impactful that these parents get so desperate for help that they reach out to SuperNanny (in fact, that's the first section of each show- the parents detail exactly how they've gotten to such a point of need for help)

[@auranoxhighpriestess5475]

See the first problem with this entire situation is that 'Step Dad' is not allowed to reprimand the terror child. That's a problem in the core relationship of the adults. The mother married him and they now have a blended family, but being the father figure he SHOULD have a say in how the children behave and how they are reprimanded. It's all part of his life now so that's a big red flag there in the first place. If Biological dad isn't there in the picture especially, then that child needs a stern father figure and Step Dad should be involved in the life of that child. Big time red flag there in the very relationship of Mom and Step Dad. And that's likely where it all trickles down from.

[@triciatravels]

I love how empathetic you are to the families in these shows, please keep reacting to supernanny it’s lovely to see someone being so kind about this show. This era was full of family drama and kids lives being used for tv ratings - have you seen Brat Camp and That’ll Teach ‘Em?

[@Why-o5n]

Super Nanny cannot make the horse drink. She can only lead it to water. With few exceptions, chronic behavior problems are the result of inconsistent consequences. In American schools, it’s been my experience that children’s behavior is extremely difficult to remedy as long as one parent is overly strict and the other is overly permissive. There has to be consistency.

17:13 i agree, i grew up with undiagnosed adhd and autism, i was a bit of a trouble maker and sometimes would get put in timeout for something i thougt was normal like throwing trucks and sand at the other kids beacuse i didnt know why i acted and expirenced things diffrently, i have my diagnosis now and is very well behaved now

[@rebeccagodfrey8201]

I have a older half sister which my farther did provide for untill she was 18 & moved out, she never called him dad but he always said he has two daughters. The oldest does side more with the mother & the youngest is dad's. My friend was so close with her mother but had a distant relationship with her dad while her little sister would yell at there mother but sit on her dad's lap & stay beside him when he's home. I am a daddys girl, I'm proud to be one coz my dad knows he can trust me with tasks & invites me along with him on trips ect.

If supernanny has taught me anything… it’s that I really don’t like or want my own children.

As the middle child with an elder brother like this I feel so bad for that poor little girl she will never get as much attention as her brothers :,,,,(

[@cabbage9798]

My brother used to beat me and my younger sister like this and my mom refuses to acknowledge that. As adults he’s a 23 year old bum who’s never had a job and smokes weed in grandmas basement and my mom still does everything he asks and gives him all the money he needs, always gaslighting me about my trauma. It’s supposedly what caused my parents divorce and my mom to this day doesn’t respect me. This lady reminds me of my mom wayyyyyyyyyyy toooo much

[@Ronnieangelice]

Someone outed Supernanny recently that she's entirely fake because her dad died no the nondisclosure didnt apply. Honestly, it hit me pretty hard since I even had her book.

[@JadeThePJOperson]

I've never heard this but it makes sense

[@LexMcFlyXD]

I see myself in that kid, I used to be like this so I got sent to boarding school, and now I live back at my dad's house from traumas the boarding school gave me, but at least I'm more mature now than most 16 year olds

[@hollyamberblue]

I work in a school where all of the children struggle like this, had children send staff and each other to hospital but there is hope for them and many end up going back to mainstream when they go to year 7

So quirky isn’t it

[@Moonpie90]

It kind of gave me chills hearing Supernanny keep saying 'you're stronger than him' even in front of the kid. Really imbedding the idea that it's fine to do whatever as long as you're stronger, I'm sure that won't go wrong when that weak child grows up and gets stronger than others around him

[@LuciiDixon_Tattoos]

I love the Supernanny episodes you post... I grew up watching this show so when I had my 1st daughter at 21 (she is now almost 13), I already had so many techniques in the bag ready to use as she got older - and, YES, they all work very well! At 26, I had my second (and final) daughter (she is now 7) and I use many techniques with her also, though it's slightly different because she has autism and ADHD. I agree with what you said about Supernanny maybe implementing techniques and resources that help children with Autism and ADHD better their behaviour as they can truly be a handful. But the chill out chair/naughty step or, as I use with my teenager as she's too old for the naughty step/stool, she has reflection time. I do wish that she would have used things to help parents with children who have Autism and ADHD because I'm winging it lol. I love being a parent and I could not imagine treating one better than the other. Kids need to be treat with equal love, attention and care. There is a 5 year gap between my girls and it never used to really show or matter but now the older one is a teenager, she wants nothing to do with my 7 year old - with my youngest having a slight delay with brain-age, they don't really see eye to eye, they argue a lot and avoid each other (the teen avoids more like) it's tough being a parent!! BUT I LOVE THEM BOTH SO MUCH - however, discipline (without laying a hand on a child - including spanking) is definitely a must - they are your children and they seek guidance from you, patience from you and learning from you, and it is important to help them along their growing-up journey. Having a schedule and a routine is SUPER IMPORTANT!!! Children need STRUCTURE along with the love and care. I LOVE being a parent, and it is thanks to Supernanny that I've had such. good run of things with behaviour and attitude with my girls!!

[@LuciiDixon_Tattoos]

Oh, and my children would never lay a hand on myself or their father because they have RESPECT for us.

[@dianesativayoung2811]

15:08 It does feel like the mum is sort of alienating/disrespecting Stuart and Matthew is picking up on it. Because she's not allowing Stuart to discipline him and he (Matthew) knows he'll get away with whatever he does. 25:16 its like they kinda scared to parent their own kids

[@sarahscalpel561]

1. that's exactly how dysfunctional blended families go...lol it sucks. 2. that's because society treats parents actually parenting like dang criminals and we need to make it ok for parents to actually parent again.

I'm a middle aged mom with kids in their twenties and I just wanted to say that you're incredibly insightful and have a lot of genuinely constructive feedback regarding the kids on this show. Especially, for a young man with no kids. I think you're going to be a great parent if you ever decide to have kids.

[@cutiecupcake4150]

Annoyance should be met with annoyance, If your child hurts you, show them it hurts, say no hitting and avoid them or naughty step. As long as it’s an instance consequence the child will understand. It’s frustrating being a parent but you have to think of the best action for now and for the future. Hiding pain or displeasure teaches your children to continue.

[@kathybrem880]

I had five-they NEVER acted like that!

[@Chaz-h9r]

The one i'd say is the worst is one with the kids "River and Hunter" (terrible names, i know) and these kids are BAD, they fully hit, throw things, the dad even spent an hour fighting with one of them

[@nitapita9988]

As for names I can’t get upset about it because you know that the parents want the BEST name for their child they spend so much time deciding; or even regardless of time they are choosing what they think is beautiful, likeable,… for their child. I have to respect their choice and would feel terrible if a child overheard anyone saying their name was “ bad, wrong, silly,…. Yeah it’s their name. One shouldn’t speak negatively about it. We are the adults we shouldn’t be acting/speaking as a misbehaving child. There are parents who try to be “cute” when naming their kids. A game show once had a family with the last name Green and the kids were like Leif, Forest, Kelly etc. Here’s one for you -a friend of a relative of mine had a daughter and her last name was Haven -pronounced with a long A sound and short e sound ( Hay-v”eh”n) Ok so she named her daughter Bea ( Bee) - hence she was Miss B Haven misbehavin ’ (misbehaving) Imagine the police ask for your name and she says I’m Miss Bea Haven ( with a slur) 😂😂True story 🤣🤣🤣
