Jo Frost Extreme Parental Guidance

Kiran and Bronwyn (1x1)

Data de estreia: Fev 09, 2010

Jo Frost, Britain's best known parenting expert, returns with a brand new series providing mums and dads with the honest, insightful, no-nonsense advice they need. In the first programme, Jo looks into violent computer games and what effect they have on a game player's behaviour. Working with Professor Doug Gentile, who has done extensive research into the effects of violent media on children, Jo splits forty 12-year-old boys into two groups, one playing a football game, and the others playing a violent game, to see what impact the different games have on behaviour. Jo also meets Kiran, a four-year-old girl who has only ever eaten sweets. Wearing the clothes of a one-year-old and falling behind in her development, Kiran's eating habits have even led her parents to attempt force-feeding. Jo also spends time with 11-year-old Bronwyn, a girl who hates her appearance and cries daily about the way she looks, comparing herself to celebrities in magazines.
