i watch it and quite enjoy but it's all obvious stuff - stems from the parents being way too lenient in the first place. it's good that in this series the parents are being educated too, it was them that contributed to the kids going that way, and in the last series some of them reverted back to how they were.
i will try to follow the below when i'm fortunate enough to have a family...
first rule is not to reward attention seeking behaviour with attention.
second is not to give in for a quiet life - otherwise the child learns that repeatedly asking for something gets it, and you end up with anythign but a quiet life.
third is don't feel bad to say no or you'll end up being their slave.
fourth is to know that if you give them something, especially if they didn't deserve it, they'll end up wanting more.
fifth is to be fair and consistent.
maybe it's not so easy when you are a parent tho...

i just love brat camp.
there was that obnoxious kid on the first programme blubbing away to the camera "if my mum knew how bad it was here - she'd have it me back" and then burst into tears.
did we laugh!!
theres something very satisfying watching these miserale obnoxious barstewards meeting their match with no nonsense good ol'boys.
