Mamma Bookworm review

I'm trying pretty much everything

Supernanny by Jo Frost was written by the ABC star probably because of numerous requests from fans of the show. I've seen the show more than a few times and I've always been astounded by how well her system works.

Of course, I NEVER thought my angelic little daughter would be as naughty as 'those types of kids'. Well, she's three now - and let me tell you, they are ALL those types of kids. I guess it just depends on how long you want it to go on for.

The book itself has lots of pictures - which surprised me a little. Technically it could have been a much smaller book if it was all just written in a regular font and straight forward style. But it kept my attention and made me feel like I was getting through a lot of stuff quickly. (I wondered if she was using some of her kid methods to try and keep my attention through the book! Haha :)

The book was very much like a textbook format with lots of bullet points for very specific ways to put rules into action. I also found it very helpful that there were many points in the book that told you 'this will work for this age, but not this age, and here is why', so I think I will be able to use the book for a much longer range of time.

While I don't believe she has any kind of psychology degree - she does have 15 years of experience taking care of dozens of different children. Which says to me that if these methods work on most of 'her' kids - then they have a pretty good chance of working on mine too.

Could you get a book with less fluff? Sure, but the tips are still very good and it makes for less of a dry read.
