reren Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Anyone watch that new programme w nanny giving family advice - i tuned in thinking i'd probably not like it but found it really interesting. Those shows are usually so formulaic - but she had some very interesting ideas about how to handle difficult behaviour. It didnt feel too judgmental and the people weren't super extreme. It also didnt present it as though she had solved everything overnight - was impressed and there were a couple of techniques i'll take away i think...really interesting about how to avoid saying no all the time...

Mellors Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I didn;t see last nights but saw the one lst week with triplets (aargh!!). I thought she was really nice - I liked how she got down to the kids level and talked *to* then (rather than at them). I felt for he parents, but they really did need a kick up the bum.

sunbob Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I've just seen the first episode so far but we thought the same. Quite down to earth and realistic nanny ideas and parents One thing we have actually tried, not because of a problem but because we just thought what a good idea, is to let the children put their own food o their plates, so they choose their own portion size. Interestingly daughter took much more than we usually give her and ate it all! (The future of our food bills is not looking good, especially with a sub 2 yr old son who can get through 3 weetabix for breakfast!!).

Cheryl_M Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Have to say I'm slightly hooked on the progamme! My daughter is 2 in December but definitely worth taking notes on table manners and hitting, which unfortunately I'm slowly starting to experience more of :( Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/37068-nanny-programme-on-c4/#findComment-684684 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Watched Weds night's one on catch up and loved it - those 2 boys could be mine! I felt for the mum (shed a tear actually as totally empathised) and felt both inspired by new tricks but also encouraged that some methods are ones we already employ (albeit inconsistently).

Otta Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I'd assumed this would be another Super Nanny type thing, so avoided. Will have a watch now I've read this.

yeknomyeknom Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Yeah I love it too. Just bought her book. She offers sensible, realistic solutions. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/37068-nanny-programme-on-c4/#findComment-685018 Share on other sites More sharing options...
