Supernanny-The Newton family part 5

Vicki and Aaron Newton are separated, with joint custody of their two sons, Aaron (12) and Kobe (5). Though the boys are angels for Dad, young Kobe saves his worst behavior for Mom. He is violent and destructive -- hitting, kicking, slapping, punching and swearing. He even throws rocks at Jos head. Aaron isnt physically aggressive, but he does talk back to his mother. For the first time, Jo Frost observes life in two homes to hone her recommendations for each parent.

@BastEternal Spanking is not the fast track to violence, I'm not violent and I was spanked as a child. A simple swat on the butt with your hand when a child does something wrong isn't going to lead to any violence. But like I said, not every child needs to be spanked; however there are those that do. I respected my parents as a kid because of the way I was raised. Self-relaxation techniques don't work on every kid. Spare the rod & spoil the child. You can teach ur kid while spanking them.

@Jonaeproductionx3 Yea I agree, it's not making them afraid of you it's teaching them to respect you & they learn not to test you. I knew this kid who got a whipping then threatened to call CPS on his mother(he was 9), how the hell does a child know about CPS? Some parents(not all) are afraid of that & will let their kids' behavior escalate. When I was little, if I acted up in a store I would be taken to the bathroom for a spanking & I was no longer misbehaving. But to each their own.

@BabiBearJay Do you have any kids? If my kids didn't listen, I beat the hell out of them and they turned out just fine. My parents whipped my brother, sisters & I when we were kids. They put the fear of God in us and I'm glad they did. Kids need to be spanked when they misbehave. They need to be taught how to respect their elders and listen. I refuse to explain myself to a child about why I'm doing something. I am the parent, the adult, what I say goes, period!

LOL Getting smacked when I was a kid, worked out perfect for me. I was once a mess and somewhat a rebel. Look how I turned out, I'm far from perfect but I do my very best not to disrespect my parents at all.

Some kids are so hard headed you could beat the crap out of them and nothing happens. Others you can give the stern look and they melt. Kobe seems to be that kind of child, taking away privileges and getting confronted by BOTH parents embarrassed him and got him thinking.

LOL looks like the Supernanny had alot of fun in the end

[garciajennifer223]

I wonder why those parents got divorced in the first place. Hmm..seems like they are able to get along pretty well. It's too bad.

@ 1:43 Kobe, pick those up. The mom hated saying this and you can tell she had no backbone because she's saying it as she walks away. Words don't mean shit, it's how you say them, and the posturing that enforces discipline. I'd say it to his face, and stand over his ass until he picked up every last piece of trash.

@queta89 Kids know about CPS cause that's what they're teaching them in school.

@Rowan07001484 I come from a family that disciplines children that way. I don't think it does much except for give the children fear. But not all children respond to this type of discipline. I personally think that it sometimes can actually fuel the bad behavior. I don't necessarily agree with it because i feel that it is not good for children to have fear of items such as belts, or their own parents (being physically hurt by their parents that is). But that's just me, and i'm 12

[BabiBearJay]

The boy clearly didn't need a smack. Not once was he smacked under supernannys rules and he turned out very well behaved. So yeah, kids DON'T need smacked. EVER

[Rowan07001484]

@queta89

I agree. Some kids respond to being smacked. Some don't. and also, it depends on what reasons they were smacked for. and the level of anger.

controlled physical discipline is ok. as long as you explain why they are being punished. and don't show extreme anger while smacking a child.

when I was smacked it was always out of anger. it didn't really help me to become a better person. and I was smacked like once or twice a year. not that much. it was just a loss of control.
