Parents 'not always right' and should apologise to their kids, says Supernanny

Supernanny Jo Frost has urged parents to apologise to their kids when they're in the wrong. The TV nanny, famed for her no nonsense approach to parenting, has been speaking about how mums and dads need to take their children's opinions on board and not always think that children are answering back.

"You're not always right," she said. "Children's opinions are not backtalk. Parents need to apologise too." Elaborating in a post on Instagram, she said it particularly applies to those with older children.

"Especially for those out there with teenagers, don't lose them in 5 seconds, stay open to what they have to say, listening requires patience, and empathy to really care about what's being said, to understand.....you can not do so AND talk at the same time," she said.
