Americas favorite Supernanny returns to answer questions from confused, conflicted, and confounded parents across the country As ABCs Supernanny and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller of the same name (which has sold nearly 300,000 copies), Jo Frost has no problem handling even the most, er, precocious children. Her upbeat, efficient methods and warm personality have endeared her to parents all over the United States -- and shes got the fan mail to prove it. In Ask Supernanny, Jo responds to the questions she hears time and time again in emails, letters, and personal appearances. Questions like: -My son refuses to go to bed at the appointed hour. How can I put a stop to the endless pleading and cajoling? -My daughter will only eat food thats not touching anything else on the plate. What can I do to change this obsessive behavior? -Our two boys get into raging fights on a daily basis. Short of buying separate houses, what can we do? -And many more, on subjects like bed-wetting, bath time, homework, and independence.

 GREAT TECHNIQUES THAT REALLY WORK! June 24, 2008

My wife and I were getting very frustrated with some of the issues we were having with our 2 1/2 year old, and the techniques in both of Jo Frost's books really helped us save our sanity. For instance, we could never take our son shopping, because he did not want to ride in the cart, and wanted to be carried through the store. If he would get down to walk, he would not hold our hand for long before he would try to run off. My wife and I both suffer from back injuries, so it was just killing us to carry him all of the time, and the tantrums he would throw when we tried to make him sit in the cart, would make us feel like everyone was staring at us. We used the technique of writing a small shopping list for our son, that had some small pictures of items that he could recognize, and gave him a pen to mark things off of his list as we put them in the cart. We did this, and he actually sat in the cart the entire time we were shopping. He has never sat in the cart for any longer than 3-5 minutes tops before throwing a tantrum. The techniques were also great for helping us get our son to eat at supper time, and also to help us get our son under control when it came to hitting and kicking at us. This book is well worth the money. We were beginning to wonder if we were bad parents, but it was just that we did not have the knowledge and tools needed to raise him to respect what we ask him to do. Do not hesitate to purchase this book, or her other book. You will see a drastic difference in your child's behavior as soon as you put Jo Frost's techniques into action. A+++ book
All parents should own this book January 3, 2007

This is a great book. I bought the first Supernanny book that came out and while it was a good book I still had questions that remained unanswered because I had hoped it was a bit more specific. Then comes along Ask Supernanny which was exactly what I wanted. It has lots of great information and advice that all parents should know. It's very helpful and really makes life easier. It helps us deal with whatever problems we have with our son and fix them and help him understand that he isn't the boss of the house. This leaves for much more quality family time together, which is really what life should be about anyway. Great book.
YOu have to read this book!!!! July 23, 2009

My son this past month or so was having so many breakdowns at home and in public. It was like I had a completely different child on my hands. He was no longer taking naps.... the list goes on and on. This book saved me from losing it! Right now my son is taking a nap for the first time in months without a fuss. This is a wonderful book. At times I felt I was being mean by the "no eye contact" rule or "talking" but I tell you it works! I love this book and I can't seem to put it down! I would highly recommend this book to any parent.

a must for any household experiencing difficulties with children's behaviours and not knowing what to try next every parent should have at least 1 or 2 of Jo's books in the arsenal of tactics
Jo Frost ROCKS!! November 16, 2008

Great book! It seems to me that her style incorporates some "Love and Logic (her own twist is not as extreme, and very much, HER OWN) and "Concious Discipline". Great tools for parents to have. Any age parents and any age child. It takes a bit to train yourself, but the outcome is no joke! Even if you have a good kid.
