Popis: | Parenting messages in 15 episodes of the television show Supernanny were investigated through an ethnographic content analysis. Using feminist, social learning, and cultivation theories, nine themes emerged: Children are Misbehaving, Parents Need Help, Maintain Control, Don't Be Harsh, Be a Couple, Engage with Kids, Techniques and Skills, Change Takes Work, and It Works. Results showed that mothers were frequently being told to seize control of their children and employ certain parenting techniques. Fathers were encouraged to help with housework, engage with their children, and not be harsh. Issues related to the themes, as well as implications of the study for parent educators and clinicians, are discussed. |
