What Parents Need to Know
About Supernanny
Parents need to know that occasionally there's a parent who yells or spanks their child. Kids may think it's funny to see other children misbehaving, but overall this show will probably be more interesting to parents than kids.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the behavior of the children and the strategies utilized to overcome this behavior. Were these strategies successful? Do they think the parents will be able to keep up these strategies when Supernanny and the cameras leave? Is it realistic to solve a discipline problem so quickly and easily? And finally, how do cultural factors play a role in parenting?

damaging show
The supernanny advocates a particularly rigid, violent, and controlling form of parenting. She makes the parents believe they are bad parents if they are not constantly controlling and punishing their children. There is little thought into why they children are behaving as they do, only into punishing them until they behave the way adults want them to. She is not interested in long term issues or even the overall well being of the children and parents. I find this show particularly damaging because it is uncritically being marketed as a wholesome, educational show.

Shows Kids How to Misbehave
I used to think it'd be a great idea to watch this show with the kids, until I noticed my daughter mimicking some of the bad behavior of the kids on the show. So, needless to say, we stopped watching it with the kids INSTANTLY. My kids are pretty young (3 and 15 mos), so I didn't want them picking up any bad habits. My daughter (3) would see a kid misbehaving on the show and say stuff like "He's going to get in big trouble!" So at first, I thought it'd be a good way to show her how NOT to behave. But after awhile, she started to tell me "no" and tell her brother to "shut up." After seeing some kids on the show do that. So I think the show would be ok for older children, but my kids are just too young.
