Meet Deborah Tillman, America’s Black Supernanny
Lifestyle network has announced a new show titled “America’s Supernanny” starring Deborah Tillman. “America’s Supernanny” is not a spin off of TLC’s excellent “Supernanny” TV series starring Britain’s child care expert Jo Frost. It’s an entirely new show centered around entrepreneur Tillman who owns multiple learning centers in Virginia.
“I feel blessed and privileged that I have been chosen to do exactly what I was put on earth to do,” the mother-of-one said in a statement, “and that is to help children and families come together, get it together and stay together.”
How ironic that bad parenting was the topic of fiery debate today on Sandrarose.com in response to a man who videotaped himself brutally abusing a 7-year-old boy .
Devery Michael Broox, 25, was arrested in Orlando, Florida on Sept. 26 after a video he sent to Worldstarhiphop.com was viewed by staff at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, who then tipped off police.
Many lurkers were shocked at the reactions of my readers who defended Broox — even though he had clearly stepped over the line. It will take a lot more than a TV show to correct the beliefs of black parents who were taught by their grandparents that sparing the rod spoils the child.
But “America’s Supernanny” is a great start.

I see you Sandra.
I see Sandra is beating a dead horse today…..
So Kelly Rowland is a “Super Nanny” now huh?
I see this show being cancelled in 5..4..3
So Sandra- what way worked best for your kids?
Oh.
Wait……
I forgot.
Why is her color mentioned we can obviously see she is hispanic, indian, asian and african
to a man who videotaped himself brutally abusing a 7-year-old boy .
______________________
he wasn’t brutally abused, that’s reaching.. Casey Anthony was brutally abused, but I guess since she’s white, that long and forgot about
The sad part is that Deborah will be mostly helping White families on her show because black families don’t think they need her help. Yet our families are just as dysfunctional…

—————————-
And after all that debate people still dont know the difference between humilation and physical discipline.
This will be better entertainment than the foolery on TV now.
good for her…
Also- I think I’ve gotten about 7-8 beatings my entire life. Yep- I remember most of them.
What I remember most was the last one I got around age 12 that I had gotten into trouble going into someone’s house I was CLEARLY told not to (little did I know- they had some other wild sh*t going on in there that I didn’t need to be apart of).
Anyway….. I remember my mother told me I was punished, and told me to go into my room and get my cd player, telephone, telelvision and keyboard to my computer and out it in a box to go in her room in the attic.
I went in my room and laid down and closed the door.
She came to the bottom of the stairs in 10 mins and yelled up “why is your stuff still in your room when I told you to move it”
I yelled back: “cause I ain’t moving it, you come get it if you want it.”
……….
I’ve never seen my mother run up a flight of stairs so fast.
I swear she got to the top and then lunged across the hallway and into my bedroom on top of me.
Notice I said, that was the LAST beating I got. It was the LAST one I needed.
Another “kid whisperer” show. Know she gone be pinchin the shyt outta them kids off camera.
I’d hit the chubby british chick though…

Well, my mom and I practically raised my nephew since he came to live with us at age 5. And, yes, I used to whip him with a belt because that’s how I was raised. I beat him on two occasions. But then I stopped because I knew it wasn’t working and I knew there had to be a more effective way to discipline a child. So I took it upon myself to learn how. My nephew is a great young man now.

Of course not! But I don’t think it fair to say, Black people abuse their kids when Scott Peterson and Casey Anthony killed theirs, and that’s been long a forgotten about. I do know that child abuse is relevant, but their is a huge difference between flat out abusing a child and disciplining them,
i couldn’t really watch supernanny bc kids and parenting don’t really interest me and i also wanted to throw my tv when i saw how bad those kids were and the parents were actin like they weren’t the heads of household

What do these lurkers say to you? I mean seriously, they seem to be rather touchy and sensitive about some stuff they aren’t even conversing with the other posters about…
@Dougie
I got 4, yes I can remember the exact number …FOUR, whippings in my lifetime from my mother (daddy never spanked me)…the last one was the last one I needed because she let me get by with my slick azz smart mouth and let me think I got away with it…she caught me fresh out the shower and got in my azz so bad that was all she wrote (I was like 11 at the time)…
the parents were actin like they weren’t the heads of household

@WCC
Some people don’t know what to do with their own kids and I see nothing wrong with them getting outside help. Isn’t that why we have parenting classes?
1. That man in the other post did NOT abuse his kid at ALL! OR anything close to it!
2. You’d be surprised how necessary humiliation is sometimes. For some children, nothing works better than embarassing your kid in front of people. I’ve had MANY friends who acted a pure AZZ until they got their butts beat in front of their friends….in a classroom, or a front porch, at church, at a bday party. NONE of their azzes are in jail.
3. Everything doesn’t work for every kid. Some kids respond to “time-outs” and all. Some kids need their azzes whipped in front of people, their toys taken and some other measures as well.
I have a problem with parents who beat their kids for every little reason without trying anything else. But most parents only beat their kids for EGREGIOUS or CONTINUING misbehavior when nothing else has worked. And what you need to talk to the kid about why he’s being disciplined for?
You know what talk me and my mama had before my beatings?
“I done told you before to stop running your daggone mouth at adults, didnt I? DIDN’T I?”
Me:
That was all the “talk” we had and I ain’t NEVER been confused about why I was getting my behind tore up. EVER!

@Candi
IKR! I will not make this racial, but since virtually ALL those families on the show were yt, it used to KILL me how those little bad azz yt kids would talk to their parents…and the parents would just cower in the corner and cry…GTFOOH!
what works for one kid won’t work for another, Sandra. my mom can beat my lil bro all day and he’d still act an ass, whereas his twin can just get looked at and he’d straighten up. different strokes for different folks.
@Fefe & WCC
Exactly!! Ya’ll can relate!! LOL! I don’t know what Sandra is talking about- my beatings worked for me. I never got beat for the same thing twice. ANd my beatings always came after being warned several times and continuing to do it, or for acts of just flat-out disobedience and disrespect. It worked. I ain’t never been to jail….
*Disclaimer: Despeite what maybe SHOULD have happened, I ain’t NEVER been to jail, so….don’t nobody say NUFFIN’ cause I know that ya’ll were thinking.*

Sandramae, are you really Black,

I see nothing wrong with giving your child a spanking for doing something wrong. But there is a level of degree that one can not cross. Humiliation is never the right move.
2. You’d be surprised how necessary humiliation is sometimes. For some children, nothing works better than embarassing your kid in front of people.

OK can’t take more of this today. Bye people. See you all tomorrow
@BK
Aren’t you contradicting yourself regarding humiliation being effective or not?
I hate these nanny type shows…the nannies never have children of their own. The methods that they use would never work on the children I know. I would have laughed as a child if. Someone ordered me into timeout
Well at least she has a child. I don’t think super nanny does. I think these shows are fake anyways. You’re telling me these kids can go from being little monsters to angels in a week?
I just notice where Jerrica said the nanny had a child so I wont judge her until I see her show
@YSO Well let me rephrase that then. Humiliation at the level of letting millions see your child getting his azz whipped and whipping his azz in front of his classmates is a huge difference.

by the way, I dont beat my kids, I spank them and not all the time or everyday.. I dont have to- the prior spankings are still working 
I wouldn’t want anyone to be frustrasted and really beat / harm the child- but for someone to tell you that what you are doing for your kids (which is working by the way) is flat out wrong is a big
But as someone else said my whoopings always worked….I never repeated the same behavior. All my mom had to do was mention a switch!
With simple whoopings being labors as abuse these days pretty soon kids are going to be holding parents hostage.
@BK
Maybe from an adult perspective. I doubt a child would make that distinction.

98% of the blame falls on the parents. If you ALLOW your kid to talk back to adults, let him see you acting an azz. Then he will too.
Humiliation worked for me. I remember my freshman year in high school my grandma came and picked me up. We were stopped at the light where everybody crossed at. I said some slick mess to her, she slapped me in my mouth. Everybody laughed and pointed. I never did that anymore.
Yeah finally some positive stuff yeah,does back flip!

I remember back in 1st grade, my friends name was David. He was NOTORIOUS for asking to go to the bathroom and staying in there playing for 45 mins to an hr. His dad came up there the 1st time, took him in the hallway and scolded him.
Two weeks later, he disappeared into the bathroom for well over 30 mins again. The teacher said nothing and called his dad. He asked to go to the bathroom again..and stayed well over 30 mins…
While in the bathroom, his dad came and hid in the back of the classroom. David came back and sat down. As soon as he got in his chair, his dad said: “So where have you been?”
The look of pure horror on his face!! Chile! His dad took him in the back of the classroom (where everybdy can still see) and beat him with a belt. My teacher (who was white- and this was an inner city school FULL of Black kids), just smiled and continued teaching while he got his butt whipped.
After that, David went and cleaned his face off and sat back down and his dad left and told the teacher to call him if it happened again. David NEVER was gone to the bathrrom for more than 5 mins after that..sooo…. yeah- a lil humiliation is the key sometimes.
So basically the ends justify the means.
If it worked, it was discipline. If it didn’t, it was abuse. I’m always learning here on SR.
When I decided to stop whipping my nephew, I put him on time outs instead. He hated time outs worse than the belt. There are other, more intelligent methods to disciplining a child than using a belt. Whipping them is the easy way out. It is also the reason a lot of our kids have anger issues.
@Jerrica Yes humiliation does my mom beat my a$$ in front of kindergarten class at my bday party. I went to catholic school so they didn’t care. After she beat my but she dropped me off in front of Fulton County Jail and sped off…I was crying my a$$ of seconds later she tell me to get back on the car and gives me a long talk. I still remember that it taught me a big lesson.
@WCC
I wish I would have even moved my fingers like I was going to PRETEND to call 911 on my mama. I can hear her now…
911: “911, whats your emergency?”
Ma: “This little bish done threatened to call the police on me for beating her so I done called you so you can listen to me whup her azz because I want to make sure ya’ll have a valid REASON for when ya’ll come pick me up!”
@ Sandra
what would you do if he blatantly disrespected you or your mom in public? or if he bf you, or cursed you out?

my sister doesnt believe in whoopin her kids either, she’s not even the yelling type at all. She’s real laid back, but she’s a caring mother.. well anyway, her son burned her house down a few years back.. he’s now in jail ((juvenile)
time out work for my son sometimes as well. I agree with that method also
@SR
What part of “everything does not work for every kid” and “whippings as a close to last resort” do some of ya’ll not get?
What do you do when those “other, more intelligent methods to disciplining a child” does not work? Then what? Ya’ll look like them parents on that Supernanny show, running around talking about: “we tried talking to lil Peanut, but he just told us to shut the fukk up and ignores us. We don’t know what to do.”
I know what to do!

@WCC
My cousin doesn’t believe in beating her son either (he’s 5), she just talks to him or tries to take things away or time out.
He’s FIVE and has been kicked out of Pre-K and now Kindergarten (as of two weeks ago) for being unruly and undisciplined.
She’ll have a fit if ANYONE even tries to beat her kid. I was sitting at a dinner table with him last year and he kept throwing food across the table. I asked him to stop repeatedly and the last time he says: “I don’t wanna” and threw another piece of food.
I yanked his lil azz up in front of HER and spanked him and told him if he even looks like he is about to throw anybody else, I’d break his fingers.
He sat down quietly. And his mama aint say a damned thing. I was waiting for her to jump at me but she didn’t.
My rule: “If I can’t beat your kids, don’t bring em round me. Period.”

right! Thats exactly what lil david needed
Thats what I was thinking the “dad” in the previous post was doing..I swear it worked for my child 
@WCC,
Rather than physically assaulting the child, would it have been easier to just take the food from the child and give him a glass of water and two slices of bread? If the child did not want to eat the bread and drink the water…fine…then he just would have went to bed hungry and waited for the next meal. It did not take the all out assault.
*I am so sick and tired of trying to educate abused children*
Excuse me, @WCC, my post should have been directed to @AndThenIHitMyDougie
@ DoNotDeleteMe: I agree. It’s so easy to hit a child because violence is usually our first response. This is what we teach our kids. Then they go out into the real world and they learn that they can’t hit people just because they disagree with their behavior or actions. Too bad they can’t learn that lesson at home as well.
@DELETE
If you are so tired, why are you bothering?
I’m just here offering a different perspective, not trying to change minds that are obviously made up. Still, I’m pretty much done for today. We’re just going in circles at this point.
I am really really old school when it comes to this type of thing: raise ya own damn kids in whatever method you see fit and be prepared for consequences or reaping benefits.
3 of my kids get the belt, 2 of them get time out. Everything dont work for everyone and sometimes that shi t dont work either so I just get in my car and
I just cant do no jail time for nobody 
not even them.
They be calling like, “Ma, we sawwyyyy, we hungryyyyy, “….
I was a young parent and thought that spanking was the only way to discipline b/c that’s all I had been taught. As I got older, I realized it wasn’t working. I had to figure out some other methods such as time out, taking the playstation, no phone etc. However, what I also found out is since I was using other methods when I did have to spank my daughter it was memorable. I do agree that spanking children as an only method is incorrect. There are other methods and they should be explored. However, I will not tolerate disrespect at all but definitely in any public places! You act a fool in public you get clowned on in public!
*I am so sick and tired of trying to educate abused children*
OMG youre an educator…
Because I enjoy my profession. It would be easier if Black parents were not afraid of varying perspectives. This “one-track-mind” mentality that a lot of Black people portray is one of the main reasons we are not taken seriously in the political, economic, or spiritual arenas. The jail cell is wide open…just walk out! Free your mind and rear your children. You raise cattle…not children!
*I am so sick and tired of trying to educate abused children*
________________________________
Where is that abuse? I remember doing the same thing and getting my azz beat for it, and anything else that I did wrong.
But guess what , I didn’t get my first B until I was sophmore in high school and I cried my damn eyes out.
Maybe the whoopings “abuse”, had a lot to do with my education, if I didn’t bring home a C or better, I knew I was getting my azz whooped, no acting out, or bringing home bad grades.
You don’t need to have children to know whether one is being abused or not. All you have to do is open your eyes to see how other people are SUCCESSFULLY raising their children. All you have to do is look to see if your parents raised you/siblings successfully.
I don’t need kids to have COMMON SENSE. That’s like saying you can’t speak out against drugs unless you’ve been an addict. Please.
It’s hard shaking old habits and mindsets. Some people are one-tract-mind thinkers, seeing things a different way is out of the ordinary.
Just in observing some parents, they need to be whipped. They are acting in ways far worse than their kids, and then they have the nerve to want to discipline their children. That old saying, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” is very evident sometimes.
Here we go with this race chit. SMH.
I still stand by wtf I do with disciplining my kids.
And for those that have azzholes for kids, that they don’t spank, I will whoop their un-spanked azzes if they come in my house and act a fool.
#judgeme
Messed up children come from messed up parents. If you have to act a fool to get your child to behave, then you more than likely are a foolish parent who makes foolish decisions. I have observed that people who have no control over their emotions or over their own lives are the main ones who resort to immature parenting techniques (i. e. physically assaulting a child). It is not physical discipline…it is physical abuse!
Thanks for sharing this Sandra, I will be checking it out. As for trying to enlighten some people, it will be as effective as arguing with a stop sign. They are so ignorant in their belief that a beating equates discipline and hitting is the only way to go… Pure foolishness. Most times times the kids act outrageous because the parents didn’t instill proper behavior from the beginning or don’t spend quality time with the kids TEACHING them, but expect the children to suddenly know what’s inappropriate.
What makes you think that because one spanks a child, that that is their only form of discipline????
I remember cutting up one time and my mom made me pick up trash on this main road one weekend. Everyone saw me. Humiliation works.
@ My baby dont try to understand that some folks are kind of simple in their thoughts they are real quick to generalize what people do based off one thing

Heyyyyy bew
and 
What’s funny is that they probably didn’t get spanked as well, but yet, they’re in here calling people names.
I got spanked, and I don’t call folks names, unless pushed to that limit. 
I remember one time my daughter misbehaved at school. To teach her to have compassion for her fellow students, I had her volunteer at a nursing home visiting the elderly and helping them out wherever it was needed. Needless to say, she understood that everyone is important…and not just her. I instilled values in her and today at age 19, she gives money to the Ronald McDonald’s Children’s House. I did not humiliate her…I just made her spend her weekend helping others rather than spending it with her friends doing what she wanted to do.
I thought that was Condoleezza Rice…. as I was
I think there’s a thin line between abuse and discipline. Hitting a child doesn’t always fall under the abuse category though.
@donotdelete NY mom did the nursing home too. I had to clean the whole day. Showed me the importance of not looking down on others for their occupations.
@DONOTDELETEME
But why have her do that as a punishment instead of having her do it for a good cause??
The punishment was that she could not spend the day with her friends. She enjoyed the nursing home and came away with a different perspective on life.
So nobody thinks Deborah resembles Michelle Obama?
i wish this show well…
Timeouts didn’t work for me. I just looked at it as the cost of doing business. They worked with my brother tho because he hated sitting still. but getting my azz beat worked real good for me. cause i didn’t want that ish to happen again.
Sandra Rose says:

no i don’t see it. Im looking at my gravie and looking at Deborah and still no.
Courtney from Shed Media, the show’s producer, wants to know if some of you want Deborah to come to your homes. I’ll just tell her that you’re all set in your ways about discipline and that you would rather beat your kids than take advice or be on a reality TV show.
tell Courtney that we’ll keep beating them because the police do.
I should say so the police won’t have to.
You know what Sandra…it is safe to say that this is what make our God so Awesome and our world so unique.. There would never be a topic/discussion/debate or and views that the entire WORLD agree on…
But one thing for certain and too for sure…WE all or should I say some know that theres 2 things thats guarantee…AND that is Death and THROUGH JESUS CHRIST THERE IS LIFE!…#THEEND
two

The sad part is that Deborah will be mostly helping White families on her show because black families don’t think they need her help. Yet our families are just as dysfunctional…

Yup Sandra ur right.. shiiiid because they like shooting up school hallways and taking a school hostage… sooo ur exactly right… I wonder what kind of discipline the columbine killers got, timothy Mcveigh (oklahoma city bombing), Green mile killer, etc… yall see where im going with this…. The virginia tech killer, shall i go on!!!!!
i’ll try to support this lady’s show cause i watch supernanny like crazy. it was starting to get too scripted and ridiculous. that’s why i think she finally quit. there are good techniques on the show. bottom line, raise respectful and productive citizens.
