I truly have a great fondness for this book.

The reason is that it encompasses all of her methods that one can observe on her show, and both my kids and I have a really positive response to them.

Undoubtedly, it is one of my most cherished parenting books.

I frequently refer to it whenever I require a reminder of how to apply her methods and when I am in need of novel ideas.

She elaborates on children ranging from newborns to those up to 5 years old.

Specifically, I have a particular liking for her suggestions regarding routines and rules, as well as setting boundaries.

These aspects are of great significance in raising children and help to create a harmonious and disciplined family environment.

Overall, this book has been an invaluable resource for me in my parenting journey.

It was very good.

This simple statement holds a world of meaning. It could refer to a wonderful experience, a delicious meal, a great movie, or a fulfilling conversation.

When something is very good, it has the power to make us feel happy, satisfied, and content. It can bring a smile to our faces and a warmth to our hearts.

We might remember that moment for a long time, and it could even inspire us to seek out more good things in life.

Whether it's a small pleasure or a major accomplishment, the feeling of something being very good is truly special.

It's a reminder that there is beauty and goodness all around us, if only we take the time to notice and appreciate it.

First of all, this woman is truly a genius.

I had the pleasure of watching her show during my pregnancy and followed it a few times.

I decided to read the book just in case I had a particularly wild child.

Fortunately, my daughter was extremely well-behaved, so I didn't have to apply much of what I read.

However, the book still drove many important points home, and I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity to read it.

It is without a doubt a great read for any parent.

Whether you are expecting your first child or have several, this book offers valuable insights and practical advice that can help you navigate the challenges of parenting.

The author's engaging writing style and real-life examples make it easy to understand and apply the concepts.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in becoming a better parent.

I have a deep affection for Supernanny, truly. I held such high hopes that there would be a dedicated page in this book titled, "How to manage Jack Parry." Sadly, to my great disappointment, that particular page was absent.

I did find her ideas to be somewhat useful. However, upon closer inspection, I realized that they weren't really anything revolutionary or that wasn't already taking place. It was more of a reinforcement of existing concepts and practices.

Nevertheless, I still appreciate the efforts she has made in the field of parenting and child management. Her show has provided many parents with valuable insights and practical tips. Maybe in the future, there will be more specific and targeted advice available for dealing with children like Jack Parry.

Until then, I will continue to seek out other resources and strategies to help me better understand and manage my child's behavior.

I have a genuine passion for watching Supernanny, which naturally led to high expectations for this book. However, it seems to take on an overwhelming amount of content.

While it serves as a decent introduction to the subject, I believe that the author would benefit from creating a separate book for each subtopic or age range. A prime example of this is the mere two pages dedicated to breastfeeding. Additionally, there are numerous filler pages featuring Jo with kids or kids playing.

Nonetheless, there are clear advantages. The book is extremely well-organized, allowing you to easily pick it up and find a solution if you're facing a specific problem. It's not really a book meant to be read cover to cover (hence my use of the term "read" even though I didn't peruse most of it). Moreover, the advice provided is quite sound; it's just that you may require more detailed information or support than what this book offers.

Overall, it has its pros and cons, and while it has some useful aspects, it could potentially be improved by being more focused and in-depth in certain areas.

I truly had a great affection for this book.

It was a rapid read that was filled to the brim with practical and useful advice.

At certain junctures, the author was a bit lacking in clarity, but overall, this was excellently written.

The author has interacted with numerous diverse children and truly understands what is effective for a wide range of kids and various situations.

This book serves as a valuable resource for anyone seeking practical tips and strategies to deal with children.

It offers insights that can be applied in different scenarios, making it a worthwhile read.

Despite the few moments of vagueness, the overall quality of the book makes it a great addition to any collection related to child-rearing or working with children.

I would highly recommend this book to others who are interested in learning more about how to effectively engage with and manage children.

Okay, this book (and show) have been such a lifesaver. It's truly remarkable how much of an impact it has had on my parenting journey. I use so many of Jo Frost's techniques in my daily life as a parent.


Being a mom to three little boys can be extremely challenging at times. There are days when I feel like I'm on the verge of going out of my mind. But thanks to the wisdom and strategies shared by Jo Frost, I have been able to handle many difficult situations with more ease and confidence.


Her techniques are practical, effective, and easy to implement. They have helped me establish clear boundaries, communicate better with my children, and manage their behavior in a positive way. I can't imagine how I would have coped without this valuable resource.


In conclusion, I would highly recommend this book (and show) to any parent who is looking for some practical advice and support. It has truly been a game-changer for me, and I'm sure it will be for you too.

Perhaps it would be beneficial for those who intend to become mothers to read it.
Everyone becomes a mother in their own way, but the subject that this book emphasizes a great deal on is love and affection for the child along with the intention of raising them correctly.
This combination of love and purposeful parenting is crucial for the healthy growth and development of the child.
When a mother loves her child deeply, she is more likely to be attentive to their needs, provide a nurturing environment, and make decisions that are in their best interests.
At the same time, having a clear intention of raising the child correctly helps the mother to set boundaries, teach values, and guide the child towards becoming a responsible and well-adjusted individual.
In conclusion, this book offers valuable insights into the art of motherhood and can serve as a useful guide for expectant mothers.

LOL, Jo!!!!!!!!!

You are so fucking funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jo, your sense of humor is truly remarkable. It never fails to bring a smile to my face and brighten up my day.

Every time you crack a joke or make a witty comment, it's like a burst of laughter and joy fills the air.

Your ability to find humor in the simplest of things is truly a gift.

I love how you can lighten the mood and make everyone around you feel at ease with just a few words.

Jo, you are not only funny but also a great friend.

Your humor is contagious, and it always makes me look forward to our time together.

Keep being the hilarious person that you are, and never stop making me laugh!

Nice Book

This is a really nice book that is easy and quick to read. It contains some interesting tips, which is why I like it. However, it doesn't have anything that will completely blow your mind. What I really appreciate about this book is that the structure is extremely clear and the content is well organized. Everything in the book is built around 10 basic rules:

1. Praise and rewards

2. Consistency

3. Routine

4. Boundaries

5. Discipline

6. Warnings (telling what's coming next or warnings for bad behavior)

7. Explanations

8. Restraint (KEEP COOL)

9. Responsibility

10. Relaxation (quality time)

I have never seen the TV show that this book is based on, so I am unable to make a comparison. Overall, I would recommend this book, but don't go into it with extraordinary expectations. It's a good read that offers some useful insights, but it's not a life-changing masterpiece.

The most important topic of this book is to create order and routine in a child's life.

In my opinion, it is also very effective in the child's peace.

When a child has a regular routine, they know what to expect and when. This gives them a sense of security and stability, which is essential for their emotional and mental well-being.

For example, having a set bedtime and wake-up time helps the child get enough sleep, which is crucial for their growth and development.

Similarly, having a regular mealtime schedule helps the child develop healthy eating habits.

In addition, creating order in the child's environment, such as keeping their toys and clothes organized, can also help reduce stress and anxiety.

Overall, I believe that creating order and routine in a child's life is an important aspect of parenting that can have a positive impact on their future.
