The new Supernanny.com is up, and it’s looking pretty good. I’ll dig into it over the next few days and let you know what I think. For now I’ll let you know that it’s supposed to redirect to Supernanny.co.uk.

In the continuing storm of Supernanny controversy, some experts have taken exception to the word “naughty.” The concern is that calling a child naughty will damage the child’s psyche and self-confidence.
