Don't have kids yet but I can always use a heads up. I haven't seen the show (I don't really watch TV) but I plan to catch it soon to see if she's all the rage everyone has been talking about.

Book Synopsis:

Are your kids out of control?
Are you at the end of your tether?
Do you want your life back?
You need Supernanny!
Meet Supernanny Jo Frost, a modern-day Mary Poppins here to rescue today's beleaguered parents by offering up her practical, road-tested methods of childrearing in an indispensable new book based on her ABC-TV series. With over 15 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 children

How to get the most 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 2-year-old won't sleep through the night or your 4-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.
