Book Description
Meet Supernanny Jo Frost, a modern-day Mary Poppins
here to rescue today's beleaguered parents by offering up her
practical, road-tested methods of childrearing in an
indispensable new book based on her upcoming ABC-TV series.
Jo Frost, a.k.a. Supernanny, is the answer to every
stressed-out parent's dreams. In ABC's upcoming primetime TV
series by the same name, Jo works miracles on problem children
by dispensing hard-won wisdom and reassuring us that parents
really do know best. The Supernanny method gives parents the
know-how to tackle problem areas such as mealtime, bath time,
bedtime, bedwetting, homework, sibling rivalry, aggressive
behavior, or a child who just won't do what he or she is told to
do.
Divided into action-oriented problem and solution sections,
Supernanny will show parents how to restore harmony and
authority in the home using the Supernanny's ten basic rules and
her effective, no-nonsense approach to problem-solving. For
example:
Problem: What if your child refuses to go to bed? Supernanny
Solution: Develop a bedtime routine so that the child can
get used to a consistent pattern that she is not going to be
able to change or manipulate. A routine will set up a calming
sequence of events that will be designed to help the child
relax.
Problem: Toilet-training Supernanny Solution: Prepare
your child by taking any hint of shame or disgust out of what is
simply a natural fact of life. Keep the door open, bring her
into the bathroom with you, and explain what's happening,
including the use of toilet paper and the washing of hands
afterward.
