Re: Re: OT? PBS's Medicated Child kind of crappy

[Guest guest]

I wish this had been aired next to 'supernanny', I know its a different channel. but that women can show these docs a thing or two about how to turn devastating child behaviour into positive behaviour by working on the parents AND the kids in their own individual situation. No drugs involved just a bit of common sense .

I picked the wrong night to try to watch a show like this.. A strong slapping urge came over me-and I make a conscious effort to try not to judge ANY parent dealing with issues- but I am still disappointed.> > Diplomacy isn't always a good thing.
