WHAT DOES SUPERNANNY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

supernanny

Supernanny

Supernanny is a reality TV programme which originated in the United Kingdom about parents struggling with their children's behaviour. The UK version has aired on Channel 4 with E4 showing repeats since 2004. The program returned to Channel 4 after a two-year break in 2010 with E4 also showing more repeats. The show features professional nanny Jo Frost, who devotes each episode to helping a family where the parents are struggling with their child-rearing. Through instruction and observation, she shows the parents alternative ways to discipline their children and regain order in their households. Frost is a proponent of the "naughty chair" theory of discipline and is strictly opposed to spanking. Its competing series was Nanny 911. In the USA, it aired on ABC and Style Network. The series had ended in the US on 18 March 2011 due to low ratings and had ended on 7 September 2012 in the UK. A spin-off is titled America's Supernanny.
