SuperNanny - Meet The Goins Family
On this weeks episode, Jo Jo visited The Goins family. The family consisted of Mom, Dad and three children with mom being pregnant with her fourth.Khalin, the eldest child presented the biggest challenge having been diagnosed with A.D.H.D. I was particularly interested in seeing how Super Nanny would deal with the unique daily challenges a child with this disorder presents. (A.D.H.D. discussion following this message)
I can’t imagine even trying to place myself in Karolee’s shoes. The poor woman has her hands so full and a complete male chauvinistic pig of a husband who offers up very little help if any at all. Frankly I’m surprised the family made it this long. I’d have kicked the self centered, self serving, selfish butt to the curb long ago. I can only hope that Mr. Goins has realized, with the help of Jo Jo, what a beautiful wife he has and just how easily he could lose her and his children.
Which brings up another peeve of mine - men who think when they clock out at work they are off for the rest of the day - and it’s ‘womens’ work to take care of the kids and home. But that’s another post for another blog :)
In the one hour of SuperNanny on Monday night, I learned so much more about A.D.H.D. then I had ever known. Thank God my family doesn’t have those struggles and God love those who do. I never realized just how challenging one child could be when dealing with this disorder.
I’ve grown very interested in the topic. In fact, I would like to learn more of what other mothers are doing to help combat the issue or deal with it every single day?

My girlfriend just told me about this episode and I’m so sorry I missed it!! We are dealing with “suspected” ADHD with our 7 year old son at this time and are just starting to go through the testing phase with his pediatrician. Will you be replaying this episode any time in the near future?? Thanks so much!!
