7 July 2004 – 8 October 2008
Supernanny is a British reality television programme about parents struggling with their children's behaviour, mealtime, potty training, etc. The show features professional nanny Jo Frost, who devotes each episode to helping a family where the parents are struggling with their child-rearing. Through instruction and observation, she shows the parents alternative ways to discipline their children and regain order in their households. Frost is a proponent of the "naughty chair" theory of discipline and is strictly opposed to smacking.
The programme aired on Channel 4 from 7 July 2004 to 8 October 2008. A follow-up programme titled Jo Frost: Extreme Parental Guidance ran from 9 February 2010 to 5 August 2012. Supernanny has been adapted in other countries, including an American version (also with Jo Frost).
Storyline[]
Jo Frost, an experienced British nanny, travels across the country to visit families that have constantly misbehaving or troubled children. During her visit, she observes the behavior of the family and children as well as the parenting styles. After observing, she will tell the parents how to correctly discipline their children so the family can be at peace. This is similar to another show, Nanny 911.
