Book Description
America's favorite Supernanny returns to answer questions from confused, conflicted, and confounded parents across the country As ABC's Supernanny and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller of the same name (which has sold nearly 300,000 copies), Jo Frost has no problem handling even the most, er, precocious children. Her upbeat, efficient methods and warm personality have endeared her to parents all over the United States -- and she's got the fan mail to prove it. In Ask Supernanny, Jo responds to the questions she hears time and time again in emails, letters, and personal appearances. Questions like: -My son refuses to go to bed at the appointed hour. How can I put a stop to the endless pleading and cajoling? -My daughter will only eat food that's not touching anything else on the plate. What can I do to change this obsessive behavior? -Our two boys get into raging fights on a daily basis. Short of buying separate houses, what can we do? -And many more, on subjects like bed-wetting, bath time, homework, and independence.

 GREAT TECHNIQUES THAT REALLY WORK! June 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My wife and I were getting very frustrated with some of the issues we were having with our 2 1/2 year old, and the techniques in both of Jo Frost's books really helped us save our sanity. For instance, we could never take our son shopping, because he did not want to ride in the cart, and wanted to be carried through the store. If he would get down to walk, he would not hold our hand for long before he would try to run off. My wife and I both suffer from back injuries, so it was just killing us to carry him all of the time, and the tantrums he would throw when we tried to make him sit in the cart, would make us feel like everyone was staring at us. We used the technique of writing a small shopping list for our son, that had some small pictures of items that he could recognize, and gave him a pen to mark things off of his list as we put them in the cart. We did this, and he actually sat in the cart the entire time we were shopping. He has never sat in the cart for any longer than 3-5 minutes tops before throwing a tantrum. The techniques were also great for helping us get our son to eat at supper time, and also to help us get our son under control when it came to hitting and kicking at us. This book is well worth the money. We were beginning to wonder if we were bad parents, but it was just that we did not have the knowledge and tools needed to raise him to respect what we ask him to do. Do not hesitate to purchase this book, or her other book. You will see a drastic difference in your child's behavior as soon as you put Jo Frost's techniques into action. A+++ book
good child rearing advice June 7, 2008
Always think the Supernanny is right on the money with her advice. Good book for young parents.
Not Just Theory May 20, 2008
What a joy to have an example of what to do for a change; not just theories or ideas of things that might work.
Great resource for parents May 11, 2008
I love this book. I regularly watch Jo's TV show and am always looking for more detail on the various techniques she uses with the families she works with on the series. This book describes them all in detail and in context with real life situations that I think every parent can easily relate to and translate into their own lives. I think her approach and thought process is right on and extremely effective. I highly recommend this book!
