The Child Whisperer: Effective Parenting Strategies Adapted from "The Dog Whisperer"
McKinney, Cliff; Durr, Brandi
Child & Family Behavior Therapy, v35 n1 p82-88 2013
Behavior modification with children has been popularized through television shows such as "Super Nanny" and "Nanny 911". The popularity of these shows may be related to the demand parents have for improving their children's behavior. Interestingly, an approach adopted by "The Dog Whisperer" may prove effective when used with children. The purpose of this brief review is to summarize how behavior modification with children has been used in the media and to detail the surprisingly large amount of research support for "The Dog Whisperer's" approach. This article also may be used as a guide for those who interact with children.
