Welcome to We're Talking.
Chapter 2: What are Jo Frost's tips for navigating screen time with children?
In this episode, Joe Frost, known to millions as Supernanny, joins us for a powerful conversation about modern parenting, discipline, screen time, and the conversations every family needs to have. This week, we're talking parenting. We reached out to our community, let them know that you were going to be here. And many questions were sent in.
Chapter 3: How does Jo Frost explain the philosophy behind the 'Naughty Step'?
Oh, really?
You did that? So can we go through some questions?
Absolutely.
Chapter 4: What is Jo Frost's stance on spanking and discipline?
All right. So now I want to ask you if you know what this is right here.
Chapter 5: What does Jo Frost want to say to her critics?
Your suggestion box.
Chapter 6: How does discipline differ between the UK and the US according to Jo Frost?
Oh, for the kids.
All right. So this is your idea. For the kids. So if you can, to tell everyone, what's the importance of a suggestion box?
Chapter 7: Why is communication between partners important in parenting?
So it gets used in different ways, but predominantly it was to bring... to bring children to a place that felt it difficult to articulate emotionally what they needed from their families, an opportunity to write that down.
I see. So what we've done is somewhat of that. What we've done is these are not suggestions but questions, but they have all gone into the box. First question is, what's your advice on navigating screen time with children?
I know that we have to hold... a standard and hopefully, as we speak, laws that change that so that we hold big tech and companies responsible. But I want to say this, and I think it's going to be discomfort for a lot of families. Parents have got to take ownership of that. They have to. Meaning we can't just say, oh, well, our child's using the screen. You know, that's what they do now.
Paul, I'm watching six-month-old babies holding phones.
Yeah, restaurants all the time. You see it all the time.
I would encourage and suggest strongly to so many parents to understand that when you choose to put a phone in your six month, nine month, two year olds hands, what you are doing is prohibiting their development. You are. And that's not to take away the fact that parents need a break. But what do you think parents were doing before 2010? It's OK for children to cry.
It's OK for children to be unhappy. It's OK for children to behave the way they do their children. You know, I strongly want to encourage parents to recognise that a lot of damage is being done. You know, so how are we going to look at how we...

Chapter 8: What steps does Jo Frost recommend for effective timeouts?
limit screen time, right, with algorithms and safety, safeguarding, and also recognizing that these shows are made differently, right? They're designed differently, flick, flick, flick, flick, flick, like Vegas, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, right?
And how are we going to look as a family when they're appropriate to use, how long we use them for, and the dialogue that we're going to have before we give consent for our children to have them. And most parents will say to me, I don't want my kids to get left out. I'm worried about my children being left out.
And that cannot be the excuse of why then we throw our children into rooms we would never if they were just out on the street. because we're leaving our children underprotected. And yet in the real life, we're being overprotective. Like, trust me, my kids wouldn't have had any social media until they're at least 17. I won't do it.
How can somebody clearly distinguish whether this child has ADHD due to the fact that it may be genetic or environmental factors? Because they show up very similar.
Yes.
They show up very similar. And that's the point that I'm trying to make. And I'm old enough and I've been in this industry long enough, this parental game, and I've seen it come around twice. I've seen, this is the second time I've seen it come around now. Goodness, goodness.
Where we had, you know, where we had parenting that was very strict and then very lenient and soft and then coming strict and now soft again. You know, timeouts were demonised. You know, I modified the 1900s timeouts.
Yes.
You know, nothing like that. But again, blanket social media as if timeouts were demonized.
