Dear Super Nanny,
My chidren are grown and my grandchildren are teenagers, but I have enjoyed watching your show for quite a long time now. It was quite difficult for me to find out how to be able to post a message, I am not so talented with computer skills.
You have always struck me as a down to earth young lady with more than her share of common sense. This makes you appear wiser than your years. You also seem to have a genuine love for children, something that has endeared you to the public.
I respect much of what you are trying to do, however lately I have noticed a disturbing trend in your most recent episodes that I feel I must mention. You seem to come to the parent meeting ready to discipline the parents. Your meetings have a confrontational feel to them. These parents called you for help, not a tongue lashing. I have one word for you RESPECT. One of your rules for the families. It is a rule you need to follow yourself.
Please don't turn something so wonderful into another show that is beginning to resemble Jerry Springer. Stop show boating. Stop being a slave to ratings and be true to yourself and those you are tring to help.
You have a special gift and talent. Don't berate the parents, talk to them with the unique way you have. Leave them feeling good about themselves, and you will feel good too. You catch more flies with honey, and these families in need have enough vinegar in their lives.

I agree with you, the parents did call for her help, but the parents don't know what to do when their children are out of control, sometimes the parents themselfs are out of control, Supernanny is there to help the whole family to get back on track. Otherthan, I agree with Supernanny to help the parents as well to help the family get back on track and on with their lives.

Oh, I don't know. Sometimes she just has to reach them and has to point out their behavior to them. Many MANY times I hear her tell them that she knows they love their kids, she knows they are trying.

She guides with positive reinforcement in a no-nonsense way.

I don't think she is disrespectful to the parents, but I will watch the next episode with this in mind.

I, personally, believe she is brilliant and is helping so many more families than just those shown on tv. Keep it up, JoJo!

noneofmyown,
I agree with you very strongly, JoJo is a very postive person and she helps way more than one family, I mean I think she helped over hundreds of families, I am going to watch the next show as well, it is about parents spanking their children, and trust me, it does not get the kids to behave because I never did when I got spanked.
