Parents need to know that there's little content in this reality series that's inappropriate for kids. The featured family is prone to needling and teasing each other, but it's clear that they love each other, too. Some of the younger children whine, but, then again, they're 4.
Educational value:The show isn't intended to be educational, but kids may pick up some tips on how to wrangle large groups.
Positive messages:This is a loving family, albeit not a perfect one, and the show clearly conveys their strong relationships.
Positive role models:Overall, the parents act like parents, using appropriate discipline to
encourage good behavior from their kids. In one episode, dad Eric gets
pulled over for speeding (but he doesn't get a ticket, probably because
he's a cop himself).
This show is okay. I'm a Jon and Kate Plus 8 superfan, so this show makes me mad. The mom is mean to her kids in Brace Yourself, which was copied from The Brady Bunch. I also heard something inappropriate in the theme song, and I rate it for everyone who knows that death threats are bad and up (and by that I mean somewhere around fourth grade).
