I am honestly just stunned. When the video started with the girl saying she doesn't believe it's her job to help out with the chores, I was sure that when Jo sent out the little kid, she was going to have some harsh words with her about that. Something I would have cheered for. But instead she took the time to get to the root of the problem and address what was really going on, and start to fix the relationship between the mother and daughter instead of just saying, "You should do your chores because your mother told you to". Because that probably wouldn't have fixed things. Now maybe she'll do them out of respect and love for her mother, not just because she's supposed to. I just have never ending respect for Jo, I really do.

[@oliviahunter2821]

TheInvisibleGiraffe agreed. Sierra doesn’t seem like an unpleasant kid, just somebody who’s shutting down a bit because she’s hurting.

[@dontmindme.imjustafraidofe9327]

Yup. And I say to my parents, “If getting to the root of the problem is a waste of your time, don’t have kids.”

[@WatchThisCruelVideo]

Agreed, I love Jo! Wish I could think more like her.

[@milacruz3970]

When the children have bad behaviours is never their fault, it's their parents, that's why jo knew there was something up with her relationship with her mom

[@hannahdiane8451]

Well if a kid hasn’t got a good relationship with their parent , there not going to want to help out because they don’t feel that the parent has the right to expect that , which is an easily understood thing . Parents just need to care more about their older kids , and realise that while they’re not little anymore they’re still not adults . Not so long ago when kids grew up they didn’t grow up overnight , and theyd try to stay a child for as long as possible . Now it’s like , as soon as they turn 11 or so they get told to grow up and stop behaving like a child . And well as soon as your 13 hope of more childhood is almost nil , all attention goes to the exams and being an adult and getting ready to get a job in a few years . It’s horrible .

AND she started rocking the kid while continuing to talk the issue out. she really is a superhero.

[@tz-mk1dg]

She is lucky her daughter just wants to have a conversation with her. Most kids that age dont want to have anything to do with their parents : (

[@cuteONE22]

Veronique Q and it's for the same reason this girl said. Moms always on the phone or watching tv or talking about what she wants to talk about, not listening to what the daughter wants to talk about, and ignoring the daughter when she is talking. My mom is exactly like that and I stopped even bothering to try and talk to her when I was about the same age as this girl. She either wants to talk to me about something that I don't care about, or complain about my grandmother, or want me to do something around the house or she wants money. And I listen to her, but she ignores me when I'm talking. It's annoying and frustrating.

[@emyemyemyyyy]

They do, usually. It’s just a very odd age and an age where being independent is paramount, so it feels very foreign to attempt to start the conversation. It’s difficult on both ends, you’re becoming an adult and your parents and you are trying to handle that and change with it. For me, I had a hard time dealing with it and talking to my parents about it, but now that I’m an adult it all makes a lot more sense and is much more comfortable. You start seeing your parents as whole people, not just mom and dad.

[@MrWereWolfGirl]

I no longer have my parents alive but I've lived with my grandparents 99.9% of my life, they basically raised me so they are kinda like my parents. The thing is, I've rarely had any sincere conversations with them especially about natural things like getting period or anything like that, there are a lot of taboo topics we don't discuss and even though I am 23 now we still don't sit down and talk about anything really because they still think that I am younger so therefor I shouldn't have an opinion on anything, I am dumb and they are always right and I am always wrong because they are older, there is such a huge generation gap between us that we will never find a common language and we will never be able to sit down and talk about anything sadly. Literally the only things we do talk about: I come to her with a problem I want to discuss and my grandma either completely ignores me, either starts yelling either starts speaking over me, either she goes on a rant about how messy my room is (it isn't, she just hates the fact that I have books on my dresser in my room and that I have pictures on my wall because I like drawing because it's calming but I am too old for drawing and being an artist is not a real job anyways) either she rambles about how I never help her out around the house and how I should do more, the thing is: I'd love to help out more but I am not allowed to cook because my grandpa is a picky eater so she just wants me to sit and watch her cook so I can "learn" (I know how to cook btw I am just not allowed to), either she asks me to go help her with something and I come around and she is like: "please wait" and then I wait for an hour or so before she makes her mind on what I should do so I get bored of standing around staring at the wall and I leave and I then don't want to help out, or I work like crazy busting my butt helping her out only to be told that "oh other kids do more, you should do more and I work around house every day so it's not a big deal" when a simple thank you would mean a ton and would actually motivate me more instead of me helping her only to be told that it's not good enough, not enough and that it's not a big deal over and over. My mom would always say thank you for helping me out, sing when we worked and would compliment me a lot even if I just vaccumed a few rooms, she would be happy that I helped and thankful and would praise me and those things actually made me want to come around and ask her if she needs help and I'd be happy to help her out no matter what it was she needed help with.

[@caitlincrawford5535]

t z I agree.. all parents should be there no matter what at that age..

[@sydneymorrow7537]

I have to either beg my parents to talk to them or wait till my stepmom goes to bed so I can talk to just my mom

[@WiWillemijn]

My mom doesnt tell me she loves me either..or hugs me.. but she does make my favorite dinner and help me look when I lost something. She shows love in her own way.

[@TheCrazyHeidi]

Yeah, parents have all their own way of showing love. Sometimes maybe words means more than actions, and sometimes opposite :-) You've found out that your mom does this because she loves you and that's so healthy!

[@Ayaa29048]

My mother is the same. It's not enough for some. It's not enough for me. I feel like my mother's a stranger sometimes.

[@jenna4252]

Wimsem - Tekenen & Knutselen same

[@MrWereWolfGirl]

Before my mom died she didn't like hugging either, we never really said I love you to each other or hugged each other (she had some huge alcoholism issues but when she was sober and clean she was the best mom ever) but we did show love to each other by giving each other plush toys or random small gifts or just laying on sofa and talking about something completely random and watching tv together, it was thanks to her that I started collecting plush toys among a few other things :)

[@TheHestya]

Every person has a ''love language'', this is a well researched thing. Some people express and perceive love through words, some through touch, some through gifts, there are a couple of other ones, I've forgotten. Some have a couple of those. And it's very subconscious. To me, telling someone ''I love you'' every day makes the words lose meaning. Even if I still do love that person, saying it suddenly stops meaning anything. But with touch I express my love completely. Just touching someone's hand t me can mean the world. Someone touching mine can mean that too. Meanwhile someone saying the words to me just doesn't do anything, doesn't make me feel loved. It's great when people's love languages match, then people understand each other. But if they don't match, people often think the other person't doesn't love them simply because they don't perceive their love language as love language.

[@leonielovemusic]

I love that Jo really saw the problem, next to just a teenager feeling priveliged and being a teenager. she saw right away there was more going on! :)

[@alyssalizette9350]

Growing up my moms parents never told her that they loved her, so my mom constantly tells me that she loves me every chance she gets. I think all parents should do that.

[@duckydae]

I had a similar situation but my mum had to over compensate and underlying there was always a disconnect between us and I’m seeing it significantly in my aunt and cousin. My aunt means well but she’s just treating her more property than a daughter because that all she was given when she was younger, instructions and restrictions and is treated unfairly in comparison to her brothers. The difference between me and my mum is my environment, we live in a council estate - you guys call them projects I think - next to the city centre in Glasgow so it forced my mum to loosen up like everyone else. My cousins live in the countryside in the middle of nowhere so unless they’re are at high school or in a field they’re trapped in the house.

[@dontmindme.imjustafraidofe9327]

How can you not say “I love you” to your child? That’s bull!

[@Alexfolledemoi]

Same my mom always told me I love you in the morning and when she put me to bed. One day she told me ''well you know,I had to wait til I was 40 for my mother to tell me she loves me'' so she did the opposite with us. Tells us everyday. Now that i'm an adult, she stills sends me a text on mondays wishing me a good week and an ILY

[@dontmindme.imjustafraidofe9327]

Alexfolledemoi With my kids, not only am I going to say I love you, I’ll say “I value you, I’m glad you’re in my life, I appreciate and support everything you do, and I will always accept you no matter who you are.” I might not say that exactly; it’s a lot of words, but I want them to know I’ll love them for being themselves, not for being who I think they should be.

[@gabygotay5640]

My grandpa’s parents were like that, they never showed love to him so when he had my mom and aunt he tried his best to show love but didn’t know how to. When I was born that was when he learn how to show love.

[@SuperFosterMom]

She’s lucky her daughter is like “I want you to listen to me when I need to talk to you”. By her age I had already mentally moved on from having any kind of real relationship with my mom. I had my own life and she wasn’t part of it anymore. Still isn’t, and I’m 35

I love Jo's way of connecting the parents and the children. She goes to the root of the problem, not many try to do that. A child is never a 'brat' because it just is, there is always a reasoning behind it. Many parents sadly don't understand that you have to question yourself 'why is my child behaving that way? What can I do so it doesn't feel the need to hurt others?'

[@baller9real]

It wasn't your responsibility to make sure theirs were met, or theirs to make sure yours were. Parents of kids with disabilities do have many plates to juggle and it's no wonder sometimes some of them fall, but that's why we should have a society that provides support for parents like yours, who need some extra hands to keep everything in the air. But you didn't take anything from anyone. You can't take 'life' away as if you, yourself, are not life :-) Kudos to your sister for realizing that.

The last time my mom told me she loved me was like maybe a few years ago when I was sick. Sometimes some people show their love in other ways. Last time we hugged was so long I don't rememeber h ow many years. But we do other things for eachother to show love. It has always been that way with her, and sometimes parents show it in other ways than words. But it is better to say it. I disnt grow up saying I love you to anyone, but I have a 7 year old and I tell him I love him at least 3 times a day since he was born. Different people show love in odd ways. It's just understanding them. That mother loves her daughter very much and the daughter does too they just got lost from eachother. I really like this clip, it's very sweet. I love Super Nanny.

[@aprilsmith8605]

That is not the case here at all. I know my mistakes as a parent and have owned them, apologized and doing better. This was an edited reality tv show made to look a certain way. They show my phone in my hand while I was actually signing papers to do the show and communicating with the producers of the show etc, I didn't think they would air that. When the cameras were in my house I did not use my phone for personal reasons except to plan my sons 2nd birthday party. I didn't use it excessively and if you must know I hid in my garage where there weren't any cameras when I did use my phone. Did you ever see my daughter with her phone in her hand? Don't you find that odd that you never see a teenager on her phone, she definitely was, it just wasn't aired or shown. My daughter was referring to a situation where I was using my phone for business reasons, I worked from home and in mid email she ran downstairs and started talking to me, I nicely asked if she would just give me a few mins to carry out my thoughts so I could get the work email done,she got mad and stormed off. She then mentioned that to Jo. I'm a very good mom. I had a lot on my plate at the time. We were living in a new state with no family or friends, husband away from home working long hours, I was handling my dead dad and nanny's estate, breastfeeding, raising an almost 2 year old, 6 year old and almost 17 year old amongst other things. I was doing the best I could. No need for you to be so judgmental and make a comment about me needing to grow up and act like a mom when you don't know me or the whole story. My daughter at the time was rebellious like they often are at that age and she didn't want to follow rules. Bottom line.

I tell my daughter everyday I love her.

[@alexiskinsey2120]

I do agree with that it is very sad

[@heatherspence3848]

No Jo is a miracle worker. This was so great. She makes my heart melt

[@rosiefisher9806]

Yet again Jo showing her 3 decades in the parental arena. Jo handles this with such sensitivity, and firmness. Proving once again that she is a true professional. Also love her soft glam makeup, beautiful woman inside and out I think we can all agree. Xxx love you nanny jo x

[@MizCo-zt8vt]

Im 24yrs old and 26weeks pregnant with my first. I dnt believe in ignoring my child for a cellphone or giving them one to keep them busy. Lazy parents these days...

[@bubbles574]

Miz erie darling everyone does it. The key is moderation. I have a 2 and a 5 year old an they get their Ipads for half an hour a day. What they watch is supervised and it gives me a bit of time off.i used to think like you but the reality is, is that you will find it difficult.

[@aprilsmith8605]

For the record I wasn't ignoring her. I was in the middle of a work email mid thought when she came downstairs and started talking to me. I asked her nicely to hold so I could finish my thought and email and she stormed off and then told Jo. At almost 17 years old she should be able to respect tha, understand it and be patient. At the time she was very demanding and would want things instantly. I also don't believe in giving children those things at a young age but at her age its completely normal.

[@lunar4199]

Things are much harder to process when you are a teen so this young woman wanting to just TALK to her mom...it says a lot about her maturity because I didn’t know how to communicate what I felt at that age but I relate to her so much. All I’ve ever wanted was to talk things through and just have someone listen to me.

[@juliawaddell]

God bless Jo. She brings so much relief and hope to families. I have learnt so much from Jo

[@whitexchina]

Usually it's the kids just looking at their phone.

[@Force-hiddenmasquerade]

Watching clips of super nanny makes me love my mom more and more

[@MissGracelovesu]

I had a very similar relationship with my mom when I was her age. Teenager relationships with parents are hard enough as it is let alone with the added stress of a bunch of little kids and possibly step family drama etc. It can cause a lot of resentment on both sides. What I realized is that my mom is a person like me and she may be older but shes still a kid inside trying to do her best like me. So I made it my mission to be kinder, open up conversation, be more communicative about how I feel, develop trust on both sides and show her that I'm on her side. This made a huge difference in our relationship that now I can say my mom is my best friend again. I trust her entirely and love her so much, I am so happy I have her in my life.

[@lolalalaaa4974]

I tell my child every day a coupe of times that l love him. And that lm proud of him

[@maudeikenaar891]

I love Jo’s way of working

[@auroradreamer6581]

My brother and sister are drastically older than me. Always have been. But our dad never treated us any differently to each other. Even when there was obviously a spoiled favorite child, he would always give us equal love and attention.

[@ellab1450]

my dad has never told me he loves me ever, it hurts bad, because he tell my sister he does

[@caronmorgan4100]

So sorry to hear that. It's not because you're unlovable. A healthy parent would not behave that way. Just know you are absolutely lovable and worthy of love. You don't need his validation for that to be true. Bless.

[@elliejade3028]

I felt bad for the family but it's good that they will try

[@JennieRose8]

Now this one, I love.

[@Lunasent]

My mother and I say “I love you!” And “Muah!” everyday and I’m 25! We’re actually neighbors lol! Love her to pieces! My heart breaks for this girl. At first, I thought she was just entitled, then Joe noticed it was something more.

[@noodymemo]

I love jojo so so so much she is such an angel ❤

[@chiaranoelle3474]

Did anyone else hear something different at 3:00

[@akadabombdotcom1113]

she full on said "when you were a virgin"

[@alecksa9857]

I loved this ❤️🙏

[@MegaUnfunny]

Fair play to them for being up for discussing things. Some people would get quite defensive and angry but they talked it through.

[@itseranga462]

I feel like that with my mom so very relatable.

[@NasikaSakura]

I had been telling the same things to my mom since I was a young teen. I'm in my mid twenties now, and it's never gotten better and I've honestly lost the will to fight for any relationship with her after I am out of this house. I only converse with her now out of obligation because if I don't, there is hell to pay for it, but even when I do open my mouth, it's still hell to pay because she assumes the worst in everything I say and it makes me feel like I'm worth nothing if I can't even be worth anything good in the eyes of my own parents. I wish I had someone like Jo.

[@BeautyBanter]

I love Jo

[@loripark6391]

Wowza! When I was 16 I had a car, job, paid my car insurance and STILL came home to dishes from a dinner I didn't eat(bought my own at work). And I was told that stuff that I paid for would be taken away if my grades slipped. No, my mom and dad didn't say I love you either. I left at 18 and didn't look back.

[@iizbeast13]

Yeaaah... I don't think that mom truly loves her daughter. She has a "new" family.

[@SydneyInTheSky]

My mom tells me she loves me every day, still. Multiple times a day. My dad too. I didn’t realize how much that has helped me in life.....wow

[@sazruby]

I tell my daughter I love her at least 4/5 times a day 😢

[@958342]

My mum doesn't put her love into words but it's dripping in her actions!!

[@trishking4355]

I wish you both well. There's nothing like a mom's love, please remember that. God's blessings to you and your family

[@hazell591]

I'm an athiest lesbian but thank you x

[@aprilsmith8605]

Thank you very much for one of the only non-judgmental caring comments. I love her dearly and always have. She now lives on her own, shes 20. She visits often and we text and/or talk almost daily.

[@oksanabear]

idk how or when it started, but whenever anyone in my immediate family says goodbye, we say I love you.

[@purpleshadow_14]

She is amazing

[@kaytlinadams9224]

i love this video

[@elizabethpring3850]

I don't go a single day with out telling my kids I love them

[@Brittluvsdior]

Wow, Joe is an miracle worker ❤

[@talialouise1714]

I feel so sorry for this young girl she may be "grown up" but she still needs and craves some of her mums attention I am 46 and I still need my mum sometimes she seems like a lovely kid wake up mum before you miss the boat if you love her then show her all the best guys xxxxxxx

[@mads3732]

I truly believe Jo Frost is an angel in disguise

[@saracornish7575]

Jo Frost is a angel from Heaven

[@allthingsfelicia7133]

It’s sad to see, because this could be a beautiful, tight relationship.. not everyone get this or has the chance to create that.. I hope it grows 💛

[@whitneywelch7523]

Jo is amazing

[@raeboudreau1174]

Why you gotta make me cry supernany I 💜you

[@DianaLGonsalves]

I tend to be still skeptical that this will change cause it didn't in my case. I had a counselor who tried to get the root of matters between my mom and me, she confronted my mom and my mom accepted what she said. But later, after we left the clinic, she shouted at me for talking bad about her in front of the counselor. I was 12. That was the last time i tried to fix things with my mom. Today I'm 38 and my mum's not in my life.

[@babyface6418]

My mom never tells me she loves me. She tells my sisters but not me. Ever since she got a boyfriend all she does is care for him and not use. She never congratulates me for anything I do or awards I get. She’s always on her phone. About a month or two ago I had a mental breakdown because I felt so unloved. My dad would always say he loved me and give use hugs and stuff but since he died nothing has been the same. My grandparents are the only ones that show affection to me. I cry myself to sleep a lot because I feel so unloved by her. I wish things were different.

[@andrew5traindollartree700]

0:02 the way how Jo says Car🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@hajrabibi6292]

She looks too young to look like a mother wow.

[@blancarosa0157]

Im 16 and i don't got a phone or car. I don't even know how to drive But i still do stuff at the house that i live in.

[@cuteONE22]

Blanca Rosa01 that's the respectful way, but her mother is also at fault because she's too busy on her phone not to even listen to her daughter when she's talking to her. It hurts and that is the only thing that her daughter can do as a reaction

[@amyg4983]

Well her daughters hardly happy is she? Material stuff means nothing

[@esmediamond]

You will be blessed for being there for your family and being a good person 👏👏👏🥂

[@MhiaLee19]

So your parents could be using you as slaves just because they raise her differently doesn’t mean that you raised any better.

[@nailah.7796]

Blanca Rosa01 I don't think that's the problem here.

[@lewiswise7808]

The best thing about Jo Frost is her neutral approach to issues as she always looks at both sides of the story and never takes sides with either the parent or the child, as that’s the best way to learn the whole issue. Obviously in a house it’s the parent who’s in charge, but at the same time that doesn’t mean that only one person is to blame for the way things have gone wrong. Jo is definitely creative and imaginative with her problem solving issues. She probably has people who help her sometimes, but generally she’s very good at uncovering the issues and coming up with resolutions.

[@elliana4333]

she didn't even say I love you when she hugged her

[@Davey1022]

Teenage and mom daughter relationship is always intense .. both in a positive and negative way

[@swimfast724]

There is one thing that most parents never seem to get, and that is that TEENAGERS NEED JUST AS MUCH ATTENTION AND LOVE AS BABIES AND LITTLE KIDS. If not more, because those hormones are all over the place and they don't know what to do, what to feel, they don't know what's going on with themselves, but they're pushed away because they're grown up now. They still need help

[@7moodts843]

Jo is getting older I hate it

[@puddincup9879]

Lmohad so are you..funny how that works

[@alexvana3840]

I love supernanny so much

[@cataleya1318]

Jo Frost is amazing

[@hfjcdghxfx1373]

My mom tells me she loves me and hugs me all the time but my dad doesn’t but he always buys me everything I need and is very kind it’s just he has hard time expressing his feeling but he does everything for us to have the best life so I love him

[@MissFaryl]

I think Jo needs to assist Dr Phil on his show

[@the_Real_Grammy_of_6]

That is a great idea!!

[@ophelia1323]

i’m glad i don’t have younger siblings, because parents truly do favour the younger over the older ones.

[@leenorthey342]

God this made me tear up. This is the exact situation between my mother and I. The only thing she talks to me about is my schooling and what I’ve cleaned. She doesn’t ask how I’ve been, if I ate, or if I slept well, with the problems I have. It’s quite painful really.
