The year 2020 is definitely full of surprises, and fortunately for parents who love to watch reality shows on TV about family and parenting, "Supernanny" is coming back on television this year.
It has already been 15 years after "Supernanny" came to the United States. Lifetime TV has announced that the show is coming back and will be aired on their channel, giving parents, homeowners, nannies, and caretakers another chance to learn about home practices, how to established a great home and relationship towards family members, and parenting stuff.
In 2005, where the show was first aired, there were a few episodes where the show has dawned on a lot of parents of how parenting life is. When the show ended, there were numerous unanswered questions from parents that had left them thinking what were the answers to those questions that can help them be a better parent to their children.
Questions that are related to parenting were revealed on one of SFGate's stories and a particular question was raised that concerns parenting style. The question focused on how parents should be overinvolved in their parenting style and how has it created a new generation of kids who have an impaired sense of self.
Also, according to one of ABC News reports in 2005, they discussed how helicopter moms can be more of a harm to their children rather than it being an advantage in parenting. This report has fueled discussions of parents and family experts on how parenting styles have evolved in the past decade. In 2004, Newsweek also released a talk where the topic was more about the "unexpected legacy of the affluent '90s: parents who can't say no." This became a good topic for parents and was already a warning sign to "stop the madness" and let them focus on teaching children what is really important.
However, as years passed by, the madness still hasn't stopped.
"Supernanny" executive producer Dan Peirson revealed that when the show's team started filming the show in the early 2000s, there were only a few parenting advice given by Dr. Spock. When the show aired in January of 2005, the show revealed one of Judith Warner's best-selling books "Perfect Madness: Motherhood in the Age of Anxiety" where they focused on describing how it feels for parents to feel anxious about something that they think will go wrong.
Since parents way back are not aware of whether they are parenting their children in the right or wrong way, most of them have the same question in their minds: am I doing it right?
Parents were not knowledgeable before on how effective parenting works and a lot of them struggle in parenting their children. That's why, in the first few episodes of "Supernanny," the first American parents that were invited for the show shared about the caught-by-the-throat feeling. The dad shared that they asked a lot of questions as possible to the Supernanny for them to get a glimpse of how parenting should work, and how much they needed it in their family.
Nanny Jo, who was the "SuperNanny" of the show, would always show up in the episodes at the family's home and witnessed all the problems that the parents are going through with their children, such as unmanaged tantrums and endless crying.
This 2020, "SuperNanny" will be bringing you all the parenting tips and advice that parents need. The show will be more focused on the pressures that parents usually face in their everyday lives as role models to their children and parenting issues that have remained unsolved through the years. For parents out there, make sure you won't miss out on "SuperNanny."
