Jo Frost, also known as Supernanny, has built a career helping parents raise children for over 20 years. These days, however, parenting looks very different from the early 2000s. With social media and the internet connecting teenagers, and things like 'The Manosphere' rising in popularity, it can be difficult to know how best to look after our kids. Jo's no-nonsense thoughts on raising children in the internet age are fascinating.
