Whoever invented the word ‘three-nagers’, was clearly speaking from bitter experience - they were describing three year olds with the rebellious spirit of a teenager, but none of the reasoning skills!
In this series, families with troublesome children aged one to five, are invited into a purpose-built Big Brother-style house, where they will undergo six intensive days of mentoring, toddler training, and soul-searching.
The House of Tiny Tearaways challenges these testing members of society head-on by placing them and their tortured parents into the house for 24/7 observation and parenting training. The problems tackled range from lack of sleep, refusal to eat, to full-on tantrums. Guiding parents is clinical psychologist Dr. Tanya Byron from Little Angels.
Loud, rowdy, boisterous, and ultimately life-affirming television.
How can I watch this show??? I really want to but I can't find it online or on foxtel?? HELP!
Watching an episode now of tanty throwing 3/4 year olds at the dinner table. The professional has requested healthier food smaller portions for an overweight child,and another child has sleep issues HOWEVER all of these kids are drinking what they have referred to as "pop" and looks like Coca Cola.... Yes I am sure a kid will be healthier and sleep better after a pre-bed drink of caffeine???
I love this show. the transformation in kids is amazing and its such simply, consistant, NON VIOLENT techniques used.
Watch it daily
simple*
where is this place is there 1 in australia?
There are plenty of sleep clinics that you can live at until they help you figure things out!
We warch this show alot and my partner and i often comment on the fact that you put the not eating not sleeping tantrum attitudenon speaking kids our 3 yo is all that rolled into 1. We have him in all diff therapy for no one to figure out his problem. My partner often says our son needs a place like that.
This program absolutly disgusted me when I first saw the children being bribed with food! Along with a rewards program (riding the train and a sticker chart) that encourages the child to learn a life lesson that "somebody wil tell me what is right or wrong and wht I should be doing. This does not encourage the child to take responsibility for their actions and as they grow they will become dependant on the public law system to inform them they ar doing something wrong instead of learning to independantly discover what is right and wrong and to learn self control.
There is so much information which supports what I say and I simply can not understand how the "professionals" are so badly misinformed and uneducated.
Children the age that Tanya mostly takes in are to young to be able to cognatively perform what you are suggesting. Children progess through set stages in moral development the beginning of which is "being told what is right or wrong and being punished and rewarded accordingly by a close authority figure, usually a parent to determine what is morially right". As a child's frontal lobe developes, they progress to stages of determining what is morally. What your saying is roughly correct but not for the most of the clients taken on in the house. Tanya does take in older cliends (up to eight years of age is what I have seen) and for these children she adopts a different style of nurturing.
Dee...I have only just found this site..had I seen it before I would certainly have put you right! you are SO wrong you ..children need to have positive reinforcement..not constant punishment..a 2 - 3 yrs old taking responsibilty???? You are nuts I am almost 60 yrs of age reared 3 children mainly on my own each now with degrees..never drugs or alcohol problems all in jobs THEY love - I came from the back streets of Liverpool always being punished, smacked and told I was wrong - my kids now own million dollar properties in australia..I taught them just as Tania does..POSITIVE reinforcement, encouragement and when they make a mis-take they hah consequence, suitable to their age.....you want to smack..they will learn to hit..you want to punish they will learn to punish.....goodness me its simple enough! In just 6 days these kids are turned around and their parents have skills THEIR parents did not teach..as for self control perhaps some parents need to learn that lesson and NOT hit another human being because they have no other way...we need more Tania's and less KIms and dee's in this world...Good on you Tania!
hi
some of these children are running rings around their parents & need a good smack on the bottom !! The parents need to take control,without being nazis & set some discipline & be firm with the children. Just let the know that their ... behaviour will not be tolerated !
SERIOUSLY?! you want to teach a child right from wrong by hitting? "it's naughty to hit, to go your room *smack*" hypocrite!
You lay a hand on another adult and you can be charged with assault..what is so different about doing it to a child?
Abuse! Violence never solves anything and trying to control a human being of any age is wrong. Children have a sense of what they want and need at any given time and it is up to the parent or guardian to guide the child/ren towards the right decision and allowing the child/ren to chose and discover the narural consequence so that they can then make the correct choice in the future, alowing them to become responsible and independant adults.
