JenJen_26: Hey Jo
Niahcnebo: Hi Jo Smile
MyUsername: I cam to see you and passed on a note to a lady. Did you get it?
jo frost: thank you for all of your loyal support. Just had to say that all to you guys first
JenJen_26: I am very excited about your new book
Christa: I too, met you in manhattan...congratulations on the release of your book
jo frost: MyUsername, of course I got it! I can't believe I said hello toy u and you didn't let me know who you were. That's crazy!
Christa: So how shall we proceed?
jo frost: Smile
jo frost: THANK YOU for you kind letter
MyUsername: I was shook =)
jo frost: thanks Christa!
jo frost: And My Username, next time say hello Smile
Christa: yw
jo frost: When I shook your hand, you seemed rather calm and I haven't forgotten your face
JenJen_26: You should come to Dallas for a signing!!
Niahcnebo: Jo-are we allowed to ask questions not related to your new book?
MyUsername: You can call me Kristen Very Happy
Niahcnebo: but related to kids of course.
jo frost: Just start asking quesitons and I'll get through as many as I can
jo frost: any any kid-related questions are fine, we're not just limiting it to babies
Christa: I would love any suggestions for dealing with separation axienty my daughter has when leaving MY mother
JenJen_26: My two year old is very agressive and pretty much runs me over all day..I have tried everything..any suggestions
MyUsername: Well I have one if you get time.
yogibare555: thank you Jo Jo for the picture got it in the mail this week YOU ROCK from Parker
Niahcnebo: well i have a little brother and i have a hard time not being his "mother" in a way and it's hard to do!
jo frost: Hi JenJen, how old is your child?
anne_burke_22: i would like advice on long distance travel. how to adjust to new time zone
Christa: she has hysterical fits and you can tell her heart is truly broken
JenJen_26: she will be three in october
jo frost: As separation anxiety happens around the early stages of six months and onwards and again at 18 months and on
babysoup: That is really sweet Christa....
Christa: my twins will be three in sept
jo frost: oops, that was a response for Christa!
jo frost: Will get to you in a moment, JenJen
calypso: I have a picky eater who would be happy to just eat fruit and pancakes (she's 20 months old)...
jo frost: the importance of moving your children on from separation anxiety is to not hide the fact when you're leaving
jo frost: and to not pacify during the process
Christa: we don't...but i resort to bribery to get her to calm down
Christa: oh boy
jo frost: but to have your carer confidently distract and engage so the focus is not on the separation. You allow her to get used
jo frost: to the idea of having this happen on a regular basis. She behaves this way because of the reaction she gets.
MyUsername: Jo - how do you deal with a child who constantly has violent fits when you have 14 other kids to take care of?
jo frost: Follow through with it Christa and it will work!
MyUsername: This chatroom box is being rude. lol
wisconsinangel: yea i think we all got booted off
Niahcnebo: r people getting booted off?
JenJen_26: lol
Christa: yes
JenJen_26: yes they are
yogibare555: we crashed it ladies
civilwaryankee: yeah, I got kicked out

yogibare555: we are the super mommies
JenJen_26: lol

MyUsername: Im so excited for Supernanny tonight.
babysoup: Wink
Christa: lol.
Niahcnebo: how do i deal with an overburdening brother? i dont know how to ask this question lol.
JenJen_26: Jo, I hope you didn't respond to my question and I missed it..
JenJen_26: me too
jo frost: Jon what's going on?
babysoup: Christa she loves your mom
Niahcnebo: me too i love supernanny
babysoup: that is sweet!!
Christa: absolutey
anne_burke_22: am resubmitting my Q re long distance travel just in case
webmaster: apologies everyone - not sure what happened there
Christa: I think she had a connection with her from my womb!
JenJen_26: Paige has to watch Jo every night and tell her she loves her and nite nite
jo frost: JenJen, I did, but will try again.
anne_burke_22: how best to help 2 year old adjust to 5 hour time difference
JenJen_26: no problem..things like that happen sometimes
diva1: Jo do you think talking to a 2 year old in spanish and english might confuse him?
wisconsinangel: lol i have a feeling it was the java gods letting us know they are here
calypso: Jo - I have a picky eater (20 months) who would like to eat nothing but fruit and pancakes... how hard do I try?
JenJen_26: ok. Jo..thanks
jo frost: In a nutshell, do not lay on the floor for your kid for her to steamroll over you, JenJen.
jo frost: As a parent, this is the time where you will educate your little one
JenJen_26: my house is one big battle field
jo frost: about what is and what isn't acceptable behaviour so that they can learn
jo frost: all about expectations
jo frost: that are true to your family values
JenJen_26: i try all the time since it' s just me most of the time
MyUsername: Diva I work with 2 and 3 year olds - they learn so much at that age. I think you should do it,
Niahcnebo: Jo-how do i deal with an overburdening brother?
JenJen_26: but she has her daddy's anger and throws everything possible at me and her little sister
MyUsername: Teach him/her words like.. say dog - perro.
jo frost: anne_burke_22, where's your destination with your traveling child, overseas or from east to west?
diva1: gracias username
anne_burke_22: Ireland
kadi: hey ladies!
babysoup: hi kadi
JenJen_26: hey kadi
Christa: hi kadi
yogibare555: currently separated for 5 months shared custody son starting to not go with dad. dad is giving in
wisconsinangel: jen jen just make sure her time out is somewhere
jo frost: JenJen, it is true that she will adopt characteristics from both of you. However, this isn't her father making her throw toys
wisconsinangel: she cant reach anything to throw if you can
jo frost: come on, JenJen! you can do it! Smile
yogibare555: im trying to be far but i dont want to be the bad guy and say no you cant come with me hes 8
kadi: we skipped guitar lessons!
JenJen_26: thanks jo, i will try to keep my foot down more instead of just falling apart
jo frost: Anne_Burke_22 the first night it will be important to keep your child up
kadi: Jen...man up girl! You can do it!
jo frost: slightly later than normal so that they get a good night sleep and do not be tempted to let them sleep all afternoon
babysoup: Jen, girl just stay calm
JenJen_26: i wish i could some stories to understand the past, but i just can't and plus my husband is right here on the couch
JenJen_26: thanks all
kadi: Jen, you need to believe in yourself!
jo frost: then the next day, have them take an early lunch nap for two hours and keep them up for an hour later than their normal bedtime
anne_burke_22: the problem is getting him to bed on time there. 7p in Ire = 2p in USA
JenJen_26: i think i am moving out soon anyway, so maybe things will get better?
jo frost: and then on the third night, do everything as normal that you would do if you were home (but in the new time zone)
MyUsername: That mioght make it worse at first... but eventually better.
kadi: Jen, moving away from hubby?
jo frost: it normally takes a couple of days to realign your body clock because you're going over a couple of time zones.
JenJen_26: here is my problem. i can control a classroom full of kiddos, but i cannot control mine.
jo frost: Enjoy Ireland, it's fabulous!
anne_burke_22: thanks for solid practical advice.
MyUsername: I wan tto go to ireland. I also want to go to England .
kadi: I wanna go!
wisconsinangel: lol jenjen spoken like a true teacher
MyUsername: Jen - what age group do you teach?
babysoup: You are emotionally involved with your own Jen
kadi: what do you do differently w/ your kids in the classroom?
JenJen_26: pre school
Christa: I know julie had a question
MyUsername: I get too attached to my kids in preschool.. maybe it is because I don;t have any.
JenJen_26: nothing
kadi: are you afraid of ruining your own kids?
JenJen_26: no
babysoup: Where is Julie
kadi: hmmm...not judging, just asking to try and get a better idea!
calypso: It was about my picky eater...
Christa: prbably booted
jo frost: what else, ladies?
Christa: yes
Niahcnebo: how do i deal with an overburdening brother?
MyUsername: So Jo.. how have you been lately?
JenJen_26: i am very firm with her but she see's right through it
civilwaryankee: my best friend's parents are getting a divorce and I've been trying to help them all out... any advice??
kadi: veggies first! no other food until the healthy stuff is gone Smile
babysoup: Okay, should Cara be allowed to spit in the naughty spot as long as she is still in the spot?
jo frost: who had the picky eater?
babysoup: I encountered that today
MyUsername: Niah - what do you mean overburdening?
calypso: Me - she's 20 months old
kadi: ha ha Christy!
kadi: mine say mean things under their breath while in the NC
babysoup: I'm serious Kadi!
Niahcnebo: he wants me to do everything for him and if i dont then he acts as if i dont love him
wisconsinangel: Jo any advice to a preschool teacher on how to tell parents they need to parent not let their children run the world?
calypso: Helen (the picky eater) will pretty much just eat fruit and starches (occasional brocolli)
Niahcnebo: my parents will make me feel guilty if i dont be his "mom" in a way
kadi: I know...that is why its funny!
MyUsername: How old are you two?
Niahcnebo: im 18 and hes 9
jo frost: babysoup, yes because she is doing it for a reaction, hoping you'll itnervene. However, when she comes out of her time
kadi: Niahcnebo: maybe you should have watched our episode w/ your parents
jo frost: out make sure she loses a privelege for the behaviour we know she shouldn't be doing
jo frost: I trust you will pfopllow through, I've seen you do it, girlie:)
MyUsername: Well, you need to have a serious talk with your parents and tell them you don't feel comfortable with taking care
Niahcnebo: which episode is that?
babysoup: Thank you! I ignored her today
MyUsername: of him all the time. There is helping out and then there is just bordrerline ridiculous.
babysoup: I will, of course
Christa: I have one about my son....when he gets frustrated he hits himself or bangs his head...is this just a phase? and am I wrong for putting him in time out for hitting himself?
kadi: the Prescott episode
Niahcnebo: they take care of him but not his emotionally needs and they wont do that so who will?
kadi: we had to back off of Marlie because I depended on her too much
jo frost: Calypso, stop feeding your child the pancakes and start giving them food that has more consistancy.
MyUsername: What do you mean by that?
JenJen_26: Thank you jo and ladies, I will try to keep my self confidence up even though my husband pushes it back into the ground
kadi: to help w/ her siblings!
jo frost: Like pasta with veggie sauce, grounded beef stew
babysoup: I somehow missed a whole conversation
Niahcnebo: he talks negative about everything in his life and my parents just think its nothing but knowing my family dynamics its something
Niahcnebo: and if my parents acknowledge it then they blame it on my mistakes
kadi: I love the word "grounded" ha!
jo frost: carrot sticks with yoghurt dipping
jo frost: your child is refusing to eat because they know they will get what they want
kadi: that is not fair to you Niah
Niahcnebo: i kno but i love that kid as if he were mine
calypso: I put a balanced meal on her plate (w/ her 4-yr-old sisters), but also try to add one thing she'll eat - should I stop doing that?
MyUsername: Well it is not your responsibility. It is good you are there for him but it sounds like he needs some counseling.
kadi: then up the positivity!
MyUsername: And you should tlak to your parents about them being more emotionally involved.
jo frost: Christa, don't put him in time out for hitting himself. He hits himnself beause she's frustrated in not being able to articulate what he's feeling. Instead, help him before it gets to that point. He will grow out of it
kadi: you already know the answer to that Julie
Niahcnebo: i will even tho im not sure how much good that'll do, im just wondering how i can set boundaries
Christa: ok ...thank you...
Christa: i feel bad for doing the wrong thing
MyUsername: Do they discipline him...?
calypso: Thanks...
Niahcnebo: no and if they do its usually out of line
kadi: start by using the techniques you see on SN every Wed.
jo frost: Calypso, stop doing it because she'll go for the food she likes first and not eat anything else
diva1: Jo is it wrong to bribe your child to do something?
babysoup: No guilt Christa just move on..
calypso: Ok, thanks
jo frost: instead, put what she likes in her bowl opposite the plate and tell her when she's had a few thing on her plate, she can have something in the bowl.
kadi: Hey shan!
Niahcnebo: i feel bad saying that he's the scapegoat sometimes
babysoup: Yay, Shannon!!
Christa: thanks christy
MyUsername: I work with 15 2-3 Year olds. Bribery is my best friend.
Christa: Hi Shan
jo frost: If you stay with it and stay strong,
jo frost: she'll give in and agree
Christa: Amen Kristen!
mommy of 3: yes, i made it, didn't think i was
diva1: thanks username
calypso: She's a stubborn one, but I'm sure you're right...
mommy of 3: hi eveybody
JenJen_26: glad you are here
JenJen_26: hey
MyUsername: I say this everyday 20 times a day:
jo frost: Diva1, I think I'll leave you to work that one out for yourself. Every parent has done it. I smell you're in a pickle!
jo frost: Smile
MyUsername: Get on that mat now or no special treat!
babysoup: Shan, ask your baby talk question
Niahcnebo: well i'll give it a whirl with my parents and hopefully it'll work out
kadi: Jo, my dad said to tell you hello!
Niahcnebo: thanks username
mommy of 3: no, i think you helped with that, christy
jo frost: Hiya Kadi's dad!
calypso: Jo, how about dealing with 4-yr-old twins who are very "reactive" to the smallest thing? It's hard not to
MyUsername: You're welcome Niah.. really tlak to them. You are 18 and should be enjoying yourself not pondering that.
kadi: Good luck Niah
jo frost: is he with you now?
JenJen_26: Jo, my two year old has to watch your show every night and tell you she loves you and blows you a kiss!!
kadi: nope, we just talked. he's coming out soon.
jo frost: send Papa S my love!
babysoup: No, I didn't I just sat there
Niahcnebo: thanks ladies Smile i feel a little better
MyUsername: Jen I do the same thing.. is that weird? Sike lol
jo frost: love to hear it!
kadi: okay!
JenJen_26: lol
jo frost: kisses back to her JenJen
Christa: these transcripts will be posted later, right? I got booted in the middle of my first question
yogibare555: Good night Jo Jo my mom is making me go to bed now...Parker
JenJen_26: aww she will love that
diva1: kadi are you still living in hesperia?
MyUsername: So Jo are you still in New York?
kadi: yes
jo frost: good night Parker!
jo frost: MyUsername, no I'm not
Niahcnebo: Jo-i've always wondered...how long does an episode take to film?
yogibare555: Jo you have made Parkers night for the second week in a row
MyUsername: Oh. You should definitely try to get to Delaware or Maryland =)
diva1: Jo did you catch any broadway while you were in New York?
wisconsinangel: jo has the issue you have seen over the last 5 years in family gotten worse or better ?
kadi: Hey Shan, didn't you have a question?
yogibare555: good question niahcnebo
babysoup: she DOES
MyUsername: Oh Hey Shan I didn;t even see you were here.
kadi: ask it, girl!
Niahcnebo: yeah...i've always wondered that
Christa: I know tiff wondered what to do with a 3 year old who seems to enjoy being put in her naughty spot
kadi: Hey, Jo....my house is a mess!!! Are you shcoked?
mommy of 3: well, everything is screwing up on my puter right now
jo frost: Wisconsinangel, I think there's a decline of respect in society. I certainly have seen family values change
mommy of 3: i dont know what the he ** is going on
jo frost: and a loss of confidence and direction
yogibare555: mommy 3 we are crashin the nanny chat not you just log bak on
wisconsinangel: how can we child care providers help change that for the positive
jo frost: however, I see an enormous amount of hope with parents wanting to change these circumstances
kadi: why the loss of confidence, Jo?
Niahcnebo: i was the same way when i was a kid, i loved causing havoc and the naughty spot was a fave...
jo frost: and that is a good thing!
kadi: what do you attribute that to?
babysoup: They just need some HOPE!
kadi: do they sell that online? Kidding!
Niahcnebo: i think it had to do with attention...but then again, jo knos more about kids than i do christa...
MyUsername: Jo what do you think is to blame for the way the world is becoming? And how disresoectful kids are becoming?
mommy of 3: i cant follow what is going on, its weird
Christa: sure you can shan
babysoup: I haven't bottled it yet
yogibare555: technology and fast food....i want it fast and i want it now
kadi: sounds like a business!
jo frost: Kadi, many things interior and exterior. and the lack of reassurence for newfound parents when wanting to be the best parent they possibly can be when raising their family
Christa: Jo...what do you do with a child who seems to enjoy being put in timeout?
kadi: I can relate
jo frost: we don't have our roundtable discussions yet, Christa, this will have to do for now!
kadi: and lack of good role models as the divorce rate increases and moms and dads have to work?
mommy of 3: christy, what havent you bottled
kadi: HOPE!
babysoup: Hope, I'm trying.
jo frost: Christa, trust me, no child likes it. the willingness or laughter is to diffuse the situation
babysoup: People sooo need it
civilwaryankee: about divorce... any ideas on how I can help my friend whose parents are getting divorced?
Christa: ok...I'll pass that on to Tiff
MyUsername: Yeah they will do anytyhing to piss you off. The worst is when they laugh when you try to be serious.
kadi: this world could use a big dose of it
wendy: hi everyone just joined in hi jo it is wendy
JenJen_26: i believe in hope, but it is hard in this house..especially when your husband has attacked you and raped you
jo frost: Regarding the fast food comment, it's the new crack on the streets. Any opinions about that? Let's educate, educate, educate, parents!
MyUsername: civil just be there for her. And listen to anytyhing she has to say.
kadi: there is hope in every situation
JenJen_26: hey wendy
kadi: Amen sister!
yogibare555: im a social worker in the school system in florida really tryiing to change it
calypso: My kids haven't ever really had fast food, and don't really like it
kmandichak: it's on every commercial anymore
kadi: (shoveling ice cream into my mouth)
Christa: lol
babysoup: I agree!!
MyUsername: LMAO Kadi
Christa: cheese doodles!
JenJen_26: lol kadi what kind
jo frost: JenJen, if this is your first time in coming forth with these facts, Jen, help yourself and your family and do not submit to this abuse, right women?
yogibare555: i think your right education and advocate for our kids and parents
civilwaryankee: i have been since the split but her little brother is acting out for attention and she is having to take care of him
MyUsername: I need to get my snacks ready for Supernanny.
kadi: DIBS...I got sick eating them
civilwaryankee: while her mom sits on the couch and does almost nothing
kadi: but now I'm still eating
Niahcnebo: yup amen to that!
kadi: enough about ice cream!
kadi: fast food is evil!
babysoup: Right Jen, please don't put up with that.
wendy: can someone tell me the topic
kadi: RIGHT!!!
wendy: fast food
yogibare555: is the ice cream sugar, fat, and calorie free?
kadi: Jen...you need to leave.
Niahcnebo: even if he's ur husband, he has no right to do that to you
MyUsername: Right Jo. Jen you know you are worth so much more than that and you need to get out of that relationship asap.
mommy of 3: my puter is evil, it is screwing up right now
JenJen_26: i am trying to get the strength to leave, but i have no where to go
babysoup: I had no idea you were going thru that
MyUsername: I know it is easier said than done... but get help from anyone you can
MyUsername: You don't have any family?

yogibare555: i did it for my son and for myself
mommy of 3: no one needs to live that
Christa: and your girls
yogibare555: its hard and it sucks but will tell ya I feel like a new independant woman
JenJen_26: i have been through a lot, I just really dont' like to talk about my problems

wendy: you can't just tell anyone these things
kadi: kidding
kadi: seriously...leave
MyUsername: Yeah Jen... you know you're woth so much more than that. And so are your kids.
Niahcnebo: jenjen, no one likes to talk about it but saying something is the first step and doing something about it is hard
JenJen_26: i do fight back, my parents work out of their house and i don't have a bedroom
jo frost: JenJen, this is a big cuddle for you. Find the strength to do what's right for you and your family

wendy: i love your book i am on ch 4
jo frost: Hi Wendy!
jo frost: If they're taking the diaper off while you put them down to sleep, then it's time to put the sleeping technique in place
