I disagree with those who've said that spanking is the answer. I was spanked on nearly a daily basis for the most minor of infractions until I was about 14 of 15 years old. I'm not exaggerating either. I wasn't allowed to think for myself and was given no voice. I actually had a panic attack when I was 15 and my parents were yelling at me, because I just wanted to say how I felt. This spanking kept me very well behaved until about 17, and then I went off the wall, ran away from home, became sexually active, started using drugs and alcohol and ended up attempting suicide several times before I finally decided to love my self and fix my life up. (meditation helped) Spanking isn't the answer. I use time outs on my kids now and I have very well behaved kids. They have never called me names, hit me or behave like the kids on this show. They know that when I get to that second warning they'd better listen. At the same time, I try to listen to them and if they really have a point and I find that I'm being unreasonable I'll compromise. Supernanny's techniques work, but the parents will need to be 100 percent consistent with them.
