UK TV personality Jo Frost isn’t afraid to make parents uncomfortable by calling out parenting mistakes<\/a> she says are hurting children.<\/p>\n

Frost, known for starring in the reality television show “Supernanny,” recently went viral<\/a> after posting a video on social media calling attention to parenting techniques she says are preventing children from learning to be resilient.<\/p>\n

In an Instagram clip<\/a> that was widely shared online, Frost said she’s noticed a troubling pattern emerging in the families she works with, where parents are enabling their children to be dependent instead of teaching them to be independent.<\/p>\n

PEDIATRICIANS GROUP STANDS UP FOR KIDS’ RAPIDLY SHRINKING RECESS TIME: ‘VERY POWERFUL BENEFIT’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“And I don’t see that lightly…children who are capable but not being taught,” she began.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re keeping children in strollers who should be walking, climbing, and building strength,” she said in the video. “We\u2019ve got four-year-olds still using dummies [pacifiers] when they were only ever meant to be a short-term aid. Seven-year-olds who can\u2019t brush their teeth<\/a> properly without an electric toothbrush. Eight-year-olds who can\u2019t sit at a table and use a knife and fork. Nine-year-olds who don\u2019t basically understand bathroom hygiene, and I find myself asking, when did we stop teaching these life skills?”<\/p>\n

During an appearance on “Fox & Friends” on Friday, Frost explained why she felt compelled to speak out on the issue.<\/p>\n

BIG TECH IS THROUGH HARMING OUR CHILDREN. THIS IS OUR TIME TO FIGHT BACK<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

She explained that she receives emails every day from parents who say their kids are struggling to accomplish “basic life skills<\/a>” because of enabling parents<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“You have to allow them to struggle a little bit,” she said. “We don’t want to raise a generation where there is fragility and resilient, because they have become dependent on their parents doing everything for them.”<\/p>\n

Instead of relying on “quick-fix” conveniences, she said parents should work toward reaching “long-term goals<\/a>” to make their children into strong and capable adults.<\/p>\n

For young children, she said, parents should go back to the basics to foster independence in their children in areas like hygiene, table manners, tying their own shoelaces, and doing chores. She also urged parents to take their kids outside to ride bikes, run and play.<\/p>\n

“I understand modern life is busy, but this isn\u2019t about time; it\u2019s about intention,” Frost also advised in her Instagram video. “Because every time we step in and do it for them or avoid teaching because it\u2019s slower, messier, or inconvenient, we take away an opportunity for them to become capable, and children want to feel capable.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
