You can see those shows on Youtube, if you are interested.What kind of model are you talking about? what specifically is your beef with this show (as you've referenced it several times). Not all of us have seen it or know what you are referring to. Do you care to answer your own question to get the ball rolling?
And besides, those shows are intended to show just how certain actions affect the way others act around you (which is why the nannies spend a lot of time trying to get the parents to change instead of just disciplining their children for them). I suppose you think the dog whisperer is a horrible model for training your pets? The same principal applies.
What I disagree is their punitive approach. The threatening approach like "if you do this, I'll punish you" But then it's typical in these countries.showing a link doesn't answer the question. What about it do you disagree with? Also, what makes you think that this is considered a "good model" in the US or Britain.
You also haven't answered your OWN question. This thread is not off to a good start...
I used to watch the US version of the show (Supernanny). One thing about it is that the Supenanny is sent to homes with kids who are out of control where maybe some drastic approaches are needed. Plus, I don't know what you mean by their "punitive approach". I don't remember seeing such thing on that show. What the Supernanny does is send the kid who has misbehaved to the "Naughty Chair" where s/he is told to think about what they have done and cool off. Is that a punitive/threatening approach?
I thought that the basic messages that the show sends out ( You are NOT your child's friend but a parent / You have to teach your kids that rules are there for a reason and there are consequenses if broken, etc.) were sound ones.
I found Supernanny rather attractive, too.
Good parents should have these traits:
Willingness to talk with their children
Trustworthiness
love
understanding
patience
