Super Nanny makes it look simple when really its not. Getting children to change their behavior takes parents setting good examples and a lot of patience. A LOT OF PATIENCE!

A nanny loves unconditionally. She kisses ouchies; encourages intellectual, emotional, and social development; and provides an experientially safe space for the children. She does all the things that the mother would do if the mother were available. Thus, she too plays a pivotal role in shaping who the children become.Candihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611532113700956134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25806438.post-69400481853413341392010-07-15T08:06:56.956-07:002010-07-15T08:06:56.956-07:00Emerson,

I didn't really decide that Kate Carter should be a White woman, the character jumped into my head, in fact the whole story did all at once, then I just wrote it down. <br /><br />PPanda<br />LOL!!!!

Young parents are subject to so many judgements and disapproving glances, no matter what they do. Many times they are in no-win situations (breast vs. bottle, for example. Cloth vs. disposable--or no--diapers, etc.). They can watch this show and feel like they've got it all under control. "I may not be the best mother in the world," a typical viewer might say, "but at least I have more sense than to give birth to triplets 10 months after giving birth to quads while at the same time being married to Slacker Dad." Nope, no mystery here.Pernicious Pandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398147887114002182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25806438.post-80960452499050413292010-07-14T10:46:06.400-07:002010-07-14T10:46:06.400-07:00Hey, Lori!

My question also leads me to imagine what shape a story of a black woman who hires a black nanny would take. <br /><br />I am looking forward to Substitute Me. :)<br /><br />EmersonUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02649468859582209416noreply@blogger.com
