Did anyone watch SuperNanny on Friday night? I caught a few clips of it here and there. The family had a 5 year old son with Type 1. He was a very defiant child, who wouldn't eat when his blood sugar was low. The parents pitied him when he was first diagnosed, that they failed to discipline him when needed. So now he ruled the house. The other children felt neglected because the parents were so focused on the 5 year old.Saturday, November 28, 2009

Very interesting - will have to watch that. Love Super nanny!!
often times that happens when you have more than one child and said child has diabetes and is t1 . I think alot of folks that have kids with chronic illnesses often forget they have other children .
I watched the 2nd half, kinda bummed I missed the 1st part.
I'm hoping my shift slows down this evening so I can see some of it!
When Addy used to be low, she wouldn't eat either, but it wasn't because she was defiant...it was because she was confused and unable to comprehend that I was trying to help her, not hurt her by forcing her to eat.
I hope this episode didn't punish the kid for the way his body reacted to lows!!!!!
I didn't see it...I'll have to find it online and give it a looksie.
I didn't see it either. I'll have to try and watch it online! I'm curious now!
I wrote about my thoughts on the episode and link to a couple of other posts about it.
Drop by and see what I had to say.
