After-School Restraint Collapse Is Real Super-Ninny was at it again

After-School Restraint Collapse Is Real (Super-Ninny was at it again): twoemb.substack.com/p/after-scho...

She claims she "gave us" a foundation 20 years ago, when many experts with much greater knowledge, experience, and education than her have been speaking out against such methods for 40+ years. She also referenced the four parenting styles, a theory which was developed by Dr. Baumrind sixty years ago.

Dr. Baumrind’s 4 parenting styles Respectful & Collaborative Solves problems with the child Allows children to have developmentally appropriate freedoms Clear, consistent, and fair boundaries Open & honest communication The "Buddy" (aka "permissive") The child feels "in charge", but has to deal with issues they're not developmentally ready for Adult rarely provides or enforces boundaries Adult overindulges children to avoid conflict Authoritarian Strict rules and harsh punishments One-way communication, with little or no consideration for the child's feelings and social-emotional needs Gains compliance through threats and intimidation Neglectful / Absent Adult is either emotionally or physically absent, and emotionally disconnected from the child Provides little nurturance or guidance Seems indifferent to the child's social-emotional needs Seems to have "given up" on the student

Jo-Jo (aka Scary Poppins the Super Ninny) claims gentle parenting is a marketing shit show. While it is a marketing term, the basis of relationship-based parenting is grounded in solid evidence, whereas Jo Frost's techniques are well known to be harmful and very out-dated.

She claims to have "given us" the foundation 20 years ago... but the fact that her approach hasn't changed much in two decades speaks to her lack of growth as a person and as a self-professed "professional". Jo Frost is absolutely NOT an expert, but claims to be one, and as such, she is a danger to children.

She claims she "gave us" a foundation 20 years ago, while referencing the four parenting styles, a theory which was developed by Dr. Baumrind *sixty* years ago. (A psychologist who themselves has some problematic viewpoints, imo).

"Gentle parenting [sic] What a marketing SHIT show. I gave you what you needed 2 decades ago, emotional intelligence and boundaries with consequences this [sic] is the fine balance required, now look at all these parents confused" …Jo Frost

"I SAID WHAT I SAID. And now you, the parent, are getting scolded for 'over correcting' well, it is you doing however who do you think led you there? Yes, the parenting arena, for simply following advice you thought was sound on social media led by some with very clear agendas and it weren't to help YOU but themselves. I'm reading your emails, you're confused and don't know what to do for the best. It's not right you're in this space. Let’s be clear: there are 4 types of parenting styles, and when we spend most of our time in the authoritative space where I’ve lived [ NOT authoritarian big difference ] for decades, working in real homes with real families with real issues your children thrive, and your family stays strong and connected. I gave you that foundation over 20 years ago publicly and I’ll say it now you need to have discernment out there on social media. There are a lot of voices and not all sound, I see you, I - see - you, and I'm coming for you on behalf of the children, y'all talking about parenting but many can’t walk the talk. No wisdom. No overall lived expertise... And that’s not okay...it's morally wrong, I feel protective of you all because your family matters. Your children matter. Parenting isn’t about “doing trends.” It’s about applying what truly works for your family. Jo xx"

Jo Frost is a hack who uses out-dated, behaviourism-based, coercion-based methods to enforce compliance, rather than encouraging caregivers to focus on meeting the needs of children. I SAID WHAT I SAID.

I Told You RFK Jr. Doesn't Know How to Science Being unsurprised at the incompetence revealed by the MAHA report doesn't mean we shouldn't still be outraged

Hey, RFK Jr., I heard Harvard is offering some free courses. You might want to look into those. "I’m Learnding!"

The MAHA Report Is Mostly ‘Data Vibes’ Who would be so callous as to not want our children to be healthy? The Make America Healthy Again movement, now firmly ensconced in the White House under the leadership of Robert F. Kennedy Jr, releas...

Great analysis.👇

MAHA Report Mostly ‘Data Vibes’ www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/... by @jonathanjarry.bsky.social

"It’s an exercise in hypocrisy as RFK Jr’s commission seeks to protect kids while his boss endangers their health."

"...a stubborn refusal to confront known answers to important problems."

Elon Musk has gone – but there is an even bigger danger in the White House now As one controversial character exits his post, there is another one just getting started. Alex Hannaford looks at the rise of Robert F Kennedy Jr’s ‘Maha’ movement and why some of its wild claims root...

Me: "[I think] we’re going to go backwards to a time when these infections were spreading routinely and people are going to suffer and die for no good reason. And this is what’s really horrifying."
