If so do you feel that the advice and interventions she does with those kids would work realistically. I know she doesn't believe in spanking, but I wonder if the 'naughty chair' would really work for an out of control kid or if it was all an act for the show...

I have watched it but I get so angry at the stupid parents on that show that I end up changing the channel. If I was the Supernanny I would get accused of assault on a daily basis for smacking parents up side the head. I mean what are they thinking allowing their children to treat them that way and run wild like soooo many of them do? It makes me afraid for my child's future having to deal with people who are raised the way these kids are "raised". In my opinion it all stems from people being more concerned with being their child's friend than their child's parent. They think it is more important for their child to like them than to have limits and be well behaved.
Now that I've ranted hahahaha.... I think the naughty chair would work just as well as anything else as long as you have consistency, which is clearly a concept that is lost on many parents on that show.

Its great I love it ,the kids do continue to evolve,and develop new behaviour patterns, Supernanny merely sets them on the right course.I don't think the naughty chair is just used on the show ,it has become an institution in Britain, I have seen it put into practice,it does work, it used to be, Go to your room at once! I wonder how many children suffered from lack of sleep, because they were in the naughty place in their bedfroom.

I feel the Supper nanny show is good advice, I feel the people on the show are dumber than a box of rocks. To let your children get to that point is just dumb parenting. If you are smart and remember to let your kids know that you are the boss at all times then, you should not need to spank at all. Maybe a naughty spot will not work for you, we used a naughty spot for one but not our middle son. For him we used loss of privilege. Both worked, you just have to be consistent. I have a 12 y.o. son, a 10y.o. son, and now a 2y.o daughter and I do not and have not had to spank. I simply hold my ground, after all I am the adult and we do as I say in my house...not what my kids say.

I do spank my child... in conjunction with many other discipline methods. I got most of them from the show Supernanny. Don't underestimate her techniques. If you are actually consistent and follow through, I can pretty much guarantee that it will be effective. You just have to prove to a child that you mean business and that you will be consisten and not back down. So don't give Supernanny a bad rep... she is actually great if you honestly give a good effort to her techniques.

Sometimes, but only because I am marveling at how terrifically misbehaved America's younger generation is. I never knew it was such a problem for parents to discipline their kids. Plus, who does the Supernanny think she's kidding with the "naughty chair"---does she think she invented time out or something?

No, that show gives me a huge headache. I think those ideas may be fine for familes that are crazy out of control, and they don't know what else to do. But I just raise my children the way I was raised. I was fortunate enough to have smart parents. If I put my child in a "naughty chair" she would just sit and play and sing. It would be a huge joke and a waste of time.

I think the message the show is sending is not necessarily specific tasks or interventions (like the chair), but the value of _consistency_ in parenting and discipline. No matter what way you decide to discipline your kids, you need to stay consistent and both parents need to hold the same beliefs in terms of HOW to discipline the children.
I personally buy it - the show, that is - I think her tactics and values work, and I think parents are letting their kids get absolutely out of control out of fear of disciplining them, and out of fear of having their kids hate them.

My sister in-law tried spanking and it did nothing. She has now used the "naughty chair" and the child is not acting out as much anymore.

I watch it sometimes. The key to discipline is consistency. It doesn't matter if you spank or use a naughty chair. You can't give in to the child and you have to be consistent ALWAYS!
