Nanny Deborah Teaches These 3 Rules
*Nanny Deb from Nanny 911*
Nanny 911 is a reality show where the British nannies reform American unmanageable families. This show reminded me of Nanny McPhee, the movie.
I just watched this show an hour ago for the first time. However, I learned a lot from Nanny Deb
. Based on the episode of the Keffer family, I learned that:1. "When you say it, you mean it." -Nanny Deb
When we decide to do something, we should mean it and do it without thinking twice, doubting or letting our 'soft heart' affect our initial decision. It may be a hard process, but the result is ultimately satisfying.
I learned that I should continue with the choice or path I choose although there will be some external problems.
2. Never be afraid to express your feelings.
The Keffer mom chose to stuff her feelings in order to make sure that everything was peaceful. Somehow, this led to a worse family situation because it triggered the anger of both of her children.
This is a good lesson for me to learn - that expressing my inner feelings is not embarrassing. Instead, it helps people understand us more because we are sharing honestly. People will know us more deeply as well.
3. Play our role according to the situation.
When it comes to dealing with the behavior of children, we should lower our body and talk nicely to them instead of showing the anger or an expressionless face. For example, awards or rewards can make children happy. By having the rewards, they will do their things happily. This can apply to the adult life as well, where we are rewarded for our achievement.
We have to be soft and hard according to the suitable situation. That means, we have to change our habits or behaviors sometimes in different situations.
I love to watch this reality show. This is not just a show to teach the children. There are lessons we can apply in our daily life too.
Are there any shows that have taught you parenting skills or personal growth skills? What are they?

Great advice.
@they_call_me_steffyjean@xanga - great advice from Nanny Deb. Before this,i always thought that the role of a nanny is to take care of the children.
However, i see more and deeper image ,personality and role of a nanny from this reality show. Nannies are good in reading body languages!
I love Supernanny too. Learned all about how to do effective time outs and the importance of being consistent from her.
I absolutely love this show! I nanny during the summer, full time monday through friday and those kids are nuts. The first rule that the nanny teaches is by far one of the best rules for a child. Whenever I say something to my children I stick behind it and it really helps with the behavior in the future because they start to understand the idea of rewards and punishments.
I agree with all of these things. I don't really take my parenting skills from anywhere specific. I just observe parenting from different people in different ways and decide (based on result) which things to take note on and which things to disregard.
World's Worst Teens with Lorinne Marer! That woman is amazing. It's on Discovery Fit & Health - highly recommended!!

Parenting in these times is so much different from when I was parenting. I pay really good money to see a movie, only to have someone's children talk through the whole thing. The parents think everybody in the theater will think their children are marvelous. I see kids running up and down isles in restaurants. Same attitude. No manners whatsoever. No consequences for bad behavior. And when the family leaves the restaurant? Talk about a mess on the floor. Totally inappropriate to allow that to happen in public. Feed the kid yourself, and take pride in how you teach your children to leave a restaurant, or any public place. And the yelling in the grocery store or mall? Puleeze...
