No, what Jo Frost does is teach negative and positive reinforcement which actually works very well..... although not for everyone, but that holistic working/not one size fits all etc. Maybe if more parents adopted it they wouldn't have such spoilt children.

Yes, I know it's not that easy trying to fit work around children. It never will be, but I know lots of people who do it to keep their children safe.

I know you don’t have children, and thus I know your experience and thoughts on how parenting should work - much like Jo Frost’s - are based solely in theory no matter how long you’ve been doing any job. Those are just the facts and doggedly attempting to argue otherwise is quite staggeringly arrogant. Not only that but you’ve also mentioned in other threads (home improvement thread) that you live with your parents so you neither have first hand experience of raising children, nor first hand experience of the juggling act of running a family home whilst parenting, and yet you’re handing out judgement on both?

You might want to reconsider who is being “rude”.

On top of that if you think Jo Frost uses effective techniques or that children “wouldn’t be so spoiled” if more people subscribed to her brand of parenting behaviourism, not only are you simply parroting theory, you’re parroting trash.
