Ask Supernanny: What Every Parent Wants to Know

A must read for all parents After watching the tv series that Jo had it was worth reading her books in finding out her methods and trailing them

This book is all common sense written down. I love it. Whenever I forget a strategy for dealing with the children I have a dip into it.

Great book

Good book, divided into sections which you can find easily if you are only looking to work out a certain issue. There is nothing new that she hasn't dealt with on the TV series. So if you've watched the series there are no new gems in here, ans she does reference the families from the series quiet a bit. But its clear and concise. My only issue with Supernanny is she revolves all the solutions around a 2 parent family dynamic. But the book answers a lot of questions.

We were having enormous troubles with getting our two and a half year old to bed in the evenings, to the extent of him still roaming the halls at 10.30pm. After six weeks of trying everything we could think of, we just didn't know what to do. After skimming through "Ask Supernanny" we picked up some great techniques, and after a week of dedicated application of Supernanny's suggestions our boy is asleep by 7.30pm and we have our evenings to ourselves again. The format of the book is great, a mix of an advice column with questions from parents, a technique to try, and linking it to her experiences (with of course a reference to a family in a Supernanny episode) I have recommended this book to other parents having the same troubles we were and they have acheived the same results. It may not be all things to all people, but if you get only one tip that works for for and your family it is worth the price alone. Thank you Supernanny.

Got some advice on potty training but its more of a general book going over various topics and some not relevant. Would recmnd her as she is really good but i should have got a more specific book for my needs to do with potty training. I love Jo and find her shows really good and her books are good too but i think i picked wrongly.

Great book

This book has been a blessing not only to me but to my entire family. Peace, happiness and almost cero stress have come back to my home. I was completely stressed out and desperate of loosing control of my 3 year old daughter; I was doing ALL the opposite the book said (within other things screaming, yelling crying) causing my daughter to be fussy, irritable, disobedient, disrespectfull at all times. This book explains so many things especially teaches you in a really easy way several techniques step by step; Once I applied them I got back my autocontrol as well as control over my daughter's behavior. In just 1 day she was obedient to my first warning. Isn;t it a blessing? She behaves almost perfect at all times, specially at a table during meal times, at times to fall sleep and when meeting others friends with kids. I am so very thankful to the Lord, to my brother who saw my desparation and sent me this book and of course to Supernanny.By the way, I have not seen one TV Supernanny program yet, but I am positive you will loose so many details you need to read if you just watched the program. Doing both will be a perfect success.

This is a great book. I bought the first Supernanny book that came out and while it was a good book I still had questions that remained unanswered because I had hoped it was a bit more specific. Then comes along Ask Supernanny which was exactly what I wanted. It has lots of great information and advice that all parents should know. It's very helpful and really makes life easier. It helps us deal with whatever problems we have with our son and fix them and help him understand that he isn't the boss of the house. This leaves for much more quality family time together, which is really what life should be about anyway. Great book.

This book has been helpful anr insightful over the years. I would recommend it to any mother with or without years of experience this is will help you.

The best book ever!!. I like it because it is not like a text book, I have read other books where they try to explain you the psychology of the kids behavior, and you have to read several chapters before they tell you what might work. This book, is more like if you are receiving an advice from another parent, straight to the point, but still giving you a very precise and short explanation of why. For instance the book explains that if a parent doesn't set up limits for their kids, it will be like if you go into a bank and they tell you that you are now in charge of the branch. You will feel lost and frustrated and would not know what to do (off course assuming that you do not have experience in that field). That the same is true, if you let your kid to do everything that they want without limits. The book explains that having rules, it is good because the kids feel secure and safe and they know what to expect. At the same time, what is nice is that the Suppernanny talks about general concepts not about parenting styles, these are guidelines that will work with any parenting style.

Ask Supernanny is one of the most helpful parenting books I have ever read. My son was a terrible sleeper, we tried many techniques before finally resorting to the "Back To Bed" technique described in this book. He was sleeping in his own bed through the night by the second night. I was happily surprised it worked so well! We have tried a few of the other techniques in this book with equally amazing results. I am pretty confused about some of the baby care issues, but I assume it is a cultural difference. I am guessing Jo Frost's Confident Baby Care book would clear up my confusion.
