You know how Chef Ramsay revamps restaurants and Tabitha revamps hair salons??!! You should revamp Home Daycares! You can have your own show and call it DAYCARE NIGHTMARES!

I will offer up my daycare to be first! -
I had actually thought of calling Super Nanny when she was still taping. Then I thought wow, if I did that wouldn't look good to future clients that I had to call someone in to teach me how to control children.Each day is a fresh start
Never look back on regrets
Live life to the fullest
We only get one shot at this!!

yes it woud be popular! People love to watch Supernanny because those kids are very out of control....and it makes parents feel comforted that at their kid isn't as wild as Suppernanny kids! I would watch it for sure! I won't offer up my daycare for it.......but I'd be your best fan!Comment

Awesome idea!!Comment

Supernanny is popular for that reason and she makes it look like the techniques work.
What people don't realize is that her techniques don't work and that the only reason she gets film of them "working" is because she has the adults PLAY with the kids and do something new and special while she's showing how her technique works.
Have you ever noticed she never comes back and films them comando style like she films them for the begining of the show? She doesn't go back AFTER they have done the technique and just filmed their day to day life. You don't see them filming AFTER she has taught them the technique and they have TIME under their belts... and see the film of the kids behaving while Mom makes supper and cleans the kitchen. You do see them IN the kitchen afterwards but it is while they do SPECIAL crafts and SPECIAL games.
ALL of those families she has filmed with and nothing a year or so later. I think she's done one reunion show but it didn't show film of the peoples day to day life.
I'll betcha dollars to donuts it is in the contract that they can't go publicly about how her techniques "work".
The minute of time out for each year of life is rediculous. It doesn't work at all. The put to bed technique is also rediculous. If you have to do something 128 times over four hours it's a pretty good indication that it's too permissive.
I enjoy the show but I see the recipe of it and see how it became so popular. My techniques aren't even close to hers. I think most of her techniques are actually escalators not de-escaltors. I don't like sticker charts or reward charts. I don't mind the charts that say what you are to DO. I don't like the ones that are for what you GET.
I don't like her "choices" approach. I don't think little kids need a lot of choices and I don't think most of their daily cares should revolve around even two choices. I think little children need leadership and need to have a good block of time where they aren't in the chooser role.
I do like her approach to healthy food. I don't like snack containers or making a big deal of what they get to choose for treats.
She's made a good living off of her stuff tho so you have to give her that. I just don't see much real life substance in it... but I do see how sellable it is. It makes it look like you can do words and little consequence for big behavior and have it work. It does WORK as long as you are playing with them and doing special special. That's what she gets on tape and the public eats it up.

what bedtime technique do you recommend?
If they won't stay in bed and are actually laughing at you every time you put them back.
What would you do?Comment

I don't care for the fact that she never, ever, uses natural consequences. It's always time out time out time out. If you don't eat, you leave the table and you go hungry until the next meal. You don't get a timeout, then go back to the table and eat!Supernanny is popular for that reason and she makes it look like the techniques work.

I was always suspicious of how quickly each problem is solved. It took 4 years for a child (or children) to become a terror, and you fixed it in a day? uhh....yeah...Comment

That would be awesome and I really think it would be a hit. There are a lot of reality tv shows out there just garage but I really liked the Nanny 101 and super nanny....they didn't have one for daycare though. I just thought to apply what supernanny said for home but sometimes things that are taught in the home won't apply for daycare as I am not the parent of the daycare kids so I won't know how to use some of the tec. they have on there...hmmmm!!Comment

A lot of those kids are acting out for attention because mommy and daddy are too engrossed in work or their own lives to know how to parent effectively. We have all had the kids that their parents run to the store before they pick them up cuz the parents cant handle one or two children in a grocery store. She does a good job at intervening and making parents see what they are doing wrong. I agree with nan on the bedtime thing. I am not sitting with my kid for two hours on the floor while they try to go to sleep, thats ridiculous. I do agree with offering kids two choices so they see that actions have reactions and it also teaches them that the decisions they make have an effect. Sometimes i tell the children they have the choice of doing what i say or consequence. "You can put the blocks away or go into time out those are your choices"Comment

I don't know what Nan will say, but I say, don't go there in the first place!
Let's see:
If they won't sleep in their bed at 6 months, it's not going to get better at 12 months, or 2 years, or 7.
If they don't sleep well in a crib, they certainly aren't going to stay in a bed.
If they get out of the crib, they will def. get out of a bed!
When you move them to a bed, keep the crib handy for a while. They get out of bed, they go back in the crib. For climbers, I would use a sleep-sack.
If the damage is done? They would get a choice. Lay in your bed with a book, or if you get out, you loose the privilege. If they get out of bed again and again and again?I would put a lock on their door!
I would only do this with my own kids, but never had to. With dc kids, they would learn quickly, or someone would be looking for other daycare!Comment

I have never had a problem with this in my own kids but some of my parents ask me for advise and I tell them about super nanny's method.
I just think super nanny's methods work. I actually did the bedtime technique
with my niece and it worked.
I do agree with Nan about reward charts, we shouldn't have them.Comment

Ok, so I responded too fast to this. I wouldn't wanna do a daycare nightmares show, but if Nan wanted to come in and help me reorganize my space and show me how to better utilize my time (sorta Extreme Home Makeover type of show) I'd be all game for THAT.Comment

I have always thought it would be funny to have a "reversal role type show"
It's where licensing inspectors and food program reps get to run our daycare for a week. Cameras everywhere and we get to pick our "favorite" kids for them to take care of. happyfacehappyfacehappyface
They will have fun enforcing rules, keeping the house "Licensing rules clean"
dealing with parents, and diapers,and be expected to do everything we do and we get to watch all the fun.
Maybe someday...
I still think the Nannyde show would be coolComment
