Grumpy old git time. Whose idea was it to label 'child psychologists' as 'Super Nannies'. Where did they get this facile terminology from ?
What relevance does it have to the real life role of the experts who are child psychologists.
It was accompanied by specious footage from 'reality tv' dumbed down tosh called 'Tiny tearaways'.
I am not sure whether this was cross promotion, or just an excuse to show badly behaved children so that we could all feel a bit more smug.
Where was the forensic analysis of how in an insignificant amount of cash is going to resolve all the problems of anti-social children?
I think the point is that the Government clearly wanted people to associate this initiative with those types of TV programme.
In that case, I think the 91Èȱ¬ was justified in making the link with the 'Supernannies' term, so that people could judge whether TV is an appropriate place to search for law and order initiatives.
Matt in The Daily Telegraph makes the idea rather more neatly than I..
