The television show Supernanny (2005 - 2012) often did an excellent job of portraying the difficulties of parenting and family life, especially when it comes to adolescence. Below, I've attached an episode of Supernanny that involves many of the topics we talked about during Chapter 7 - adolescents' family interactions, sibling relationships, parenting adolescents, divorce/remarriage, etc. Please watch it, and discuss some of the parallels you see between this real-life family and some of the concepts from the chapter on families. In that discussion, please address at least 3 of the following questions/points, and be sure to refer to specific concepts/theories/research (from the book) that you see playing out in the episode (include the page number of where you found these concepts when you bring them up).
• What types of things are the parents and teens disagreeing on? According to the book, are these types of disagreements typical of adolescents and their parents?
• What types of parenting styles are the parents showing? What specific behaviors make you think this?
• Are the behaviors of the teens typical of adolescents raised with this parenting style?
• How has divorce/re-marriage effected this family? Are the effects similar to those discussed in our our book?
• What kind of relationships do the teens have with their siblings? Can you classify them based on the types of relationships our book discusses?
• Do you notice any bidirectional effects happening here?
