“Children are the same everywhere.”
“Oh, I'm always laughing with the children in 'Supernanny,' but you don't see it because Ricochet decide what to leave on the cutting-room floor and what to keep in.”
“I think there's something to be said for going to certain fine dining restaurants and knowing that after a certain time, it would be inappropriate to take young children. And, unrealistic for them and unfair to the child and to the others that are dining.”

“When we were at school my younger brother and I were very sporty, so we did a lot of stuff outside school, club activities. Summer holidays, though, my mum would take off a big chunk of time and my dad would take some time off and I have the fondest memories of the things we'd do as a family.”
“Parents get worried that kids will hold grudges. But they just don't.”
“I like to think that I am providing a public service to educate parents.”
“Parents have to be connected to their children and know what they need. When they're happy. When they're not. Discipline is only one part of the equation.”
“As anyone who's watched my shows will know - I'm no pushover.”
“You know, we've got to be able to understand that in order to curb their behavior, we've got to be accountable as parents in how we raise our children.”
“I do love being around water.”
