Just watching the "Three-day Nanny" on Channel 4. Makes me realise how lucky I was with my two children, who were absolute angels compared to those you see on programmes like this. How were your experiences? Did you have problems with your kids; or were you handful yourself when you were young?
The problems arise when dealing with children with special needs rather than 'naughty' children. Three of my four children knew Where the line was drawn and knew the consequences when the line was crossed. The other was statemented special needs and needed a different approach. I presume these children on these programmes are 'normal' naughty children and frankly in this case the parents are 100% TO BLAME.
