Book Reviews of Supernanny : How to Get the Best from Your Children

Everyone has seen or heard of the Supernanny show. I did not realize that this book was geared toward toddlers. Recommended for children 4 and under. Good adviced. Has a magazine-like layout (lots of nice graphic pictures and tidbits of info).

I'm sure this book is wonderful for those with small children. My children are older, though, and it's not much help with school-age kids, it's definitely geared more towards those with toddlers ages 1-4 or so.

I love the Supernanny show, and was eager to read this book. It's a lovely book with lots of colorful pictures--almost a coffee table book. However, most of the material covered came straight from the show, so there weren't alot of new techniques. We are potty training right now, so I did pay close attention to that section. I still love Jo Frost and it was nice to have the reinforcement of her techniques down on paper. We are using many of them.

Paperback, 223 pages, comes with page of useful contacts

From the back of the book:

Jo Frost, also known as Supernanny, works miracles on unruly toddlers with her strategy of tough love, clear rules, and praise for good behavior. With over fifteen years of experience, Jo has seen it all - from meals where food ends up all over the floor and tantrums at bedtime, to just plain stressed-out parents. Her strategies include:

*Preventing fussy eaters from taking over mealtimes.
*Resolving your child's sleep problems, once and for all.
*Avoiding sibling rivalry battles.
*How to talk so your children will listen.
*How to enjoy parenting without its feeling like a chore.
*How to establish a routine that works for you.
*How to bridge the gap between you and your child.
*How to get themost from your children and yourself.

Jo's methods are simple and will work for everyone: a regular routine and defined boundaries and consistency, backed up with plenty of love and attention. So whether your two-year-old won't sleep through the night or your four-year-old is on the rampage, Jo knows exactly what to do, and will show you how to do it. If you're one of those stressed-out parents who's desperate for a more peaceful home, Supernanny will be the answer to your prayers.

Easy to read...would have liked to have seen more specific situations and/or solutions, but I still love her techniques and use them daily!

Great advice. Easy ideas to follow.

This book offers the same type of advice given on the television show of the same name. Provides suggestions for handling many common problems experienced by the parents of young children.

Great parenting advice!

Good book- many great ideas for parenting!

Great Supernanny advice for the little ones!

I really like Jo Frost, the book is as good as the Supernanny show.

Great book if you believe in the principles that Supernanny teaches. I do...and they have worked for me. A little repetitive if you watch the show. But, hey, repitition isn't always bad, right? Beautiful full-color photographs, too.

This is a great book for those with toddlers. It's a very simple, easy plan for success....really!

There are some good tips in discipling your hard to handle child.
