About this episode

Jo Frost discusses the parenting crisis and her experiences with bullying while addressing modern parenting challenges.

Jo Frost, the world-renowned parenting expert and Supernanny, returns to We Need To Talk to discuss the parenting crisis, teen takeovers, phone addiction, bullying, cyberbullying, corporal punishment and the emotional needs children are missing today. After her first conversation reached millions around the world, Jo reflects on the overwhelming response, the families who felt seen by her words, and why she believes parents and children are facing one of the most urgent crises of our time. Jo opens up about being bullied for three years at school, the moment she finally fought back, and why she still feels conflicted about what happened. She and Paul also discuss Big Tech, cry-it-out sleep training and the emotional hunger so many children are living with today. Raw, practical and deeply emotional, Jo Frost returns for the conversation parents have been asking for.
