Supernanny Stops Mother Who Spends $1000's On Daughter | Jo Frost Extreme Parental Guidance | Origin

Supernanny Jo Frost meets the child who already has 4 fillings from sugary snacks.
Jo Frost focuses on two girls in trouble. Kiran is a four year old girl who has only ever eaten sweets. She wears the clothes of a one year old and is falling behind in almost aspect of development.
In desperation, Mum Sophia has started to force feed her child.
For Jo, this is one of the most shocking things she has seen in twenty years of childcare. Jo also meets twelve year old Bronwyn, a girl who hates her appearance so much it is seriously impacting on her life. Bronwyn cries daily about the way she looks and harshly compares herself to celebrities in magazines.
She now refuses to leave the house without spending two hours getting dressed and putting on makeup. Mum Emma has no idea how to cope.
Turning her attention to the boys, in this week’s big event, Jo wants to know once and for all if violent computer games have an effect on a game player’s behaviour. And she’s going to give parents some practical advice on how to keep computer gaming under control.

UGH, "ArE yOU tAlKInG BaCk?" literally asking the kind of "no right answer" question then complaining about the kid's answering is exactly what my mother would do then decide I was having a "teenage crisis". She's a 100% responsible for Madison's behavior and for letting both her daughters down but'd rather play victim, pfff...

[@MoosicBear]

I honestly see where the "spoiled" girl is coming from. Notice how nobody asked why she was acting the way she was. Nobody accounted for the fact that her sass was coming from genuine emotion. She mentioned that when her mother took her toys, she just hadn't wanted to hug her mother, & was punished for it. I think the mom punished too harshly too fast. She could have at least let her have one teddy. If I had something I liked taken I would be angry too, I wouldn't magically be happier & magically listen. That's what teddies are for, happiness, & the mom took all of them at once. I think the mom didn't limit herself with what she bought for her daughter, & now the daughter is being punished because the mother didn't set boundaries early enough. For those who don't agree, imagine this: You get to do whatever you want for 8 years! If you want something, you get it! You don't have to do any work! You have free reign! And then all of a sudden, you have all these rules & you have to do all these chores & all of the things that bring you joy are ripped away! You'd be upset, right!? Then KEEP imagining that the people ripping away your favorite things & freedom then get MAD AT YOU FOR BEING UPSET ABOUT IT! That's what Madison is going through in this video.

[@kirbyharris3087]

I agree with you totally there It would take an adjustment period from no rules to suddenly having rules. I also feel sorry for the older girl she seems so lovely and quiet. And you shouldn't punish a child for not hugging you, even if that person is your own mother. If a person doesn’t consent to being touched, even a nine-year-old child, then they don’t consent that should be the end of it.

At the same time once she said 'I don't care' and started talking back is where I agree that consequences are in order. If she wasn't as tough as she was at that point it wouldn't have been as necessary and they could have just talked but she had to start with the tougher dynamic. My child will be able to feel comfortably enough to say when they are upset or need to be alone or don't agree with something but they will learn how to do so in a respectful manner.

I think pageants for children are the most perverse things. Children should be and LOOK like children, not dolled up mini sex objects. They have time for all that when they are in their teens. What made me laugh was to see the parents being told to get their kids do household chores. I had a social worker berating me for telling my 8 yo son to take the rubbish bag on his way out: I was demanding too much from him! Since then, my kids believed helping with chores was child labour and I was doing that just to avoid my parental duty to rake care of them. (I had social services assessing what help my other, autistic, son needed.) The irony is that my now 30 yo son accused me just the other week for not teaching any life skills! Today's parents just can't win. Now I live in a shared household with three adults in their 20s. They can barely cook and when they do, they either leave everything where they last used them and later dump a pile of crockery with food crusted on them in the sink, although there is an empty dishwasher right next to it: they expect the owner to tidy up and clean after them. It has been requested many times that each person will empty the hair trap after themselves but it is only the older ones that do it... There's a frequent turnover of young adults and they are all the same, so clearly it is the attitude of the SOCIETY at large that encourages 20 - 30 year-old children incapable of taking responsibility of themselves... So many young people are simply perpetually broke despite having a job because they don't know how to budget; some go on borrowing money from others for years, feeling like they are the victims, blaming their parents and bosses for not bailing them out (I've heard it myself) but never asking for help to get in control of things... I'm talking about gen Z, of course, the ones my generation spoiled because we were not supposed to do parenting the same way our parents did. (Modern life, progress and so on.) Kids in the 50s played on the streets while adults got a bit of peace and quiet, but consider the traffic today. Would you let your kids play on the streets now? On my street the traffic has risen 200% in 20 years and the number of cars is doubling every year despite restrictions of the number of cars per house. (So I cannot own a car even though it meant having to give up my job.) Green spaces and play areas are also woefully limited. Is that also the parents fault? I'm not saying that letting a child play computer games or sit in front of the TV hours on end is justified, but I co understand the temptation of both sides. I did not have my own space to escape my parents, grandparents or brothers quarreling but being outside in the cold and dark until bedtime was not possible: So, I escaped into the world of books, not hearing or seeing anything that hapoened around me. It was my safe space.

I remember doing those excercise standards in school. The kids I saw doing it didn't look like they'd figured out the trick to the speed pick-up. They all stopped, leaned over to pick up the shuttle, and kind of stutter stepped to get moving. I remember going into a lunge to grab the shuttle, which gave me positioning to turn into a sprinter start back. It probably saved about a second or two over what the kids in this test did.

This child also his mother never spent the time with him to teach him how to swim or to even ride a bike and then he'd act out due to the violent video games so ended up having to see a therapist. Amazingly this child is now nineteen and has even now got full time work and a girlfriend he spends all his time with instead of with his computer addiction. So there is hope.

“I don’t like Jo!” “Why not?!” *BECAUSE SHE’S CHANGED YOU INTO A HORRIBLE MOTHER!* I felt that. When I was 15 I battled anxiety and my temper wasn’t the best, I use to have violent outbursts almost every day. I bottled up my emotions and thoughts because I would think my mum would hate me and wouldn’t believe me if I told her what was on my mind. I have improved and my temper has gotten to a more manageable level & when I do have my moments it would usually last 10-15 mins minimum than say one to two and a half hours max.

[@lsmmoore1]

It's more this - Jo's advice simply encouraged the mom to go "mask off". That mom was always abusive to her kid, only she papered over that with extreme spoiling - but only in the material setting, never in terms of actual love. The minute that veneer was stripped of, Mommy Dearest's true nature was revealed. It's not like the closest thing to "spoiled brats" in my own family, where it's clear the mom and dad also had actual love to offer, and also offered guidance in addition to the expensive toys. Which means that their kids, while sheltered, didn't make a habit of throwing tantrums to get their way, were able to interact with other people like normal human beings (and also were capable of listening to someone else talk about hard issues without immediately shutting down), and grew up to be reasonably well-adjusted adults who do the best they can for their families. Actual love, and guidance, can make a real difference - yes, even when the kid gets a million expensive toys as part of the package deal, as well as when they don't.
