• W1489587513 abstract "Is there anything to be learned about the state of contemporary parenting by watching TV? We think so. Saying that you actually watch TV at all is more of a confession than a statement for good card-carrying academics like ourselves. The cultural script that those of our ilk are meant to trot out with a dismissive half-sneer of superiority is, 'We don't watch television', or conferring more gravitas still, 'We don't have a television'. Humbug. If you want to know something of the current culture you're living in, turn on, tune in or drop out of a big part of understanding it.Even for keen, if occasional, TV watchers, the broad genre of reality TV can be unwatchable, from the wretched narcissism of Big Brother, through the awkward self-consciousness of The Biggest Loser, to the aspirational vacuity of endless decorating/renovating shows. No wonder the latter evoked Maureen Lipman's exquisite observation, 'I can't believe it, I'm actually watching paint dry'.In all of this seemingly fathomless fascination with 'real people', it has been hard not to miss the television spotlight that has shone on parents and parenting. And why not? From a television producer's perspective, the lure is compelling. Most of us have kids, most of us struggle to bring them up well, most of us have good and bad days with them, most of us love them to bits and wouldn't swap a day of it and, from a 'human interest' perspective, it is fascinating and even secretly comforting to watch others struggle with perennial parenting issues.The struggles of parents to bring up their children, and what happened when this did not work well, was often a feature of other shows such as Dr Phil and Oprah and so it was inevitable that parenting would one day have its Own show'. Supernanny seems to have started the ball rolling, coming over as a kind of kick-ass Mary Poppins for Gen-X parents. Supernanny was often criticized for being 'only' a trained Nanny and hence not a 'real expert'. At a more cerebral level in the UK, the intellectual stakes were raised. Enter Professor Matt Sanders from Queensland and star of the series, Driving Mum & Dad Mad. Professor Sanders is the developer of the popular 'Triple P' parenting programme and he took the much more 'research-based' approach of Triple P to essentially the same parenting problems. Far from the cerebral, the UK's House of Tiny Tearaways, billed as 'TV's first ever toddler sanctuary' (http://www.bbc.co.uk / bbcthree / tv / tiny_tearaways /index. shtml), features one DrTanya who dispenses professional advice to parents so desperate at the antics of their children (aged 1-8 years) that they are willing to move into a house with their 'tiny tearaways', and submit to the gaze of DrTanya along with millions of viewers in a kind of toddler version of Big Brother.Hooking in to the growing panic about childhood obesity and parenting patterns, Honey We're Killing the Kids managed the TV double whammy of combining parenting advice with food and diet directives. If only they could have had the kids renovating their cubby houses and had the viewers voting them off the show, the ratings would have gone ballistic. Honey had the dubious Foucauldian distinction of not only turning the gaze and scrutiny on to die parents and dieir overweight, sedentary, kids but of projecting this gaze into the future. Parents stood in horror as a video screen showed their kids as they looked now and then morphed them into what they would look like as the years passed, until there they were, aged 40, usually morbidly obese, bald and virtually tattooed and toothless. Needless to say, after the diet and exercise regime had been followed as per the programme's instructions, and the kids were morphed and airbrushed a second time, mature 40-year-old Brad and Angelina look-alikes beamed serenely from the screen, delighting die reformed parents.What is so instructive about the parenting on TV reality genre is that it challenges two unwritten conventions and social taboos. …" @default.
