I use Common Sense Media to screen movies, shows, etc

It's a great tool

I love Supernanny, but I agree that it's not for kids. Never mind the lesbian couple, that's the least of your worries. An 8yo still has a lot of black and white thinking, and sorting through family emotions and dynamics is a very complicated thing.

The show talks a lot about adults with adult problems, and it could make a kid nervous that you might get divorced, or get mad, or cry. Parents often say really not nice things to each other, or to the kids.

It's also distressing to watch other children act out, and then cry hysterically when they realize that their actions have consequences, and that they won't be the boss of the house anymore. As an adult you know that it's important to set boundaries, and that there will be pushback. To a child, it just looks like the kid on the show is going through some sort of terrible trauma.

IMHO, you should praise her for telling you, and then find her a show that is more appropriate. I always recommend "My Little Pony". It's adorable, non violent, totally kosher, and encourages good middos. The writing is excellent, and I enjoy it even as an adult! I would watch it with DD, and we would talk about the characters, their personalities, the conflicts, and how they got together to solve their problems. If you kids are going to be watching this, THIS is the show to watch.

For boys, I've heard that the LEGO shows on Netflix are really clean as well.

My last bit of advice, is don't let anyone watch anything unless you are in the room with them. You want to hear and see what they are watching. You don't need to hover over them, but they need to be aware that you are on top of it and paying attention. Keeping all electronics in the main room of the house, and out of the bedrooms, is one of the best things you'll ever do for your kids. It shows them that you care (even if they gripe at first.)

I didn’t read the responses, I watched super nanny years ago, it’s a show about chinuch, and it’s fine for an eight year old (although don’t know many eight year olds who would davka choose this show to watch). Not sure what circles you belong to, but it’s not terrible at all, and kol hakavod to your kid who checked with you if the show is appropriate.

OP, you might want to find some time with each of your kids to ask them about what they watched, and what they liked it didn't like about it. If you just slam the door on their interests, they might find other times or ways to keep watching.

It might make sense for you to see a little of each of their shows, so that you can understand, and respond in a meaningful way.

Let them know that their thoughts and feelings matter -- it will make it easier when the rules change, and it gives the opportunity for you to explain what's good and what's less good about what they watched, and why it's important for you to monitor.

I don't know any parent that would say it's ok for kids to watch a show where there's the F word and swearing galore and all other things going on on the show. The dysfunction between couples and families isn't something an 8 year old should watch either. 8 year olds don't need to know that couples cheat on each other's or about addiction and other adult issues.

It’s watching children and families being dysfunctional.
Obviously they are extreme, otherwise it’s no show.
Very not age appropriate.

Supernanny Jo Frost is great IMHO.
The show isn't intended for children (bad language etc)
Its not a catastrophy if you daughter watched it. How about asking her what she liked about the show?

And your daughter is right! Jo Frost is incredible. She's excellent and she stands firm with her techniques. Extremely lovable and it the same time "no-nonsense" .
We need more of Jo Frost!!

It was originally on ABC. They don't have swearing. I used to watch it with my kids.

Of course if has swearing. The F word is used a lot by her and the families on the show. The language in general isn't meant for an 8 year old. I'm surprised you allowed your kids to watch this show, little kids shouldn't witness such dysfunction and crazy issues.

There definitely is the F word, not all networks block it. And besides for that, there's bad language in general.

That’s not true but there could be other words you would object to, but not the worst ones.

There for sure is the F word on supernanny. From Jo and the others. There's even one episode of a kid that's constantly using that word.
