Jo Frost: Extreme Parental Guidance
8:00pm - 9:00pm Channel 4 1/8, series 2.
The artist formerly known as Supernanny returns to our screens with more solid parenting advice. The deal with a Frost series is firm but fair: if we're prepared to sit through the scenes of aggressive, out-of-control children running riot, our reward will be to pick up some shrewd tips. The programme is packed with them: I defy any parent to watch the programme without at some point thinking, "Hmm, I might try that ", whether it's Frost's advice for helping young teens cope with peer pressure or ways to help over-competitive kids cope with losing. In this new format she tackles multiple issues at once: as well as mentoring two troubled families she takes her roadshow to shopping centres to dish out on-the-spot lectures - and highlights the decline in kids who can master a simple skill: eating with a knife and fork. But don't expect a beacon of calmness: this guru gets quite cross.
