Is There A Right Method To Parenting? | Cherry’s Parenting Dilemmas (Full Documentary)
Examining different approaches to parenting.
Cherry Healey is a new Mum to her first child, and sometimes feels like she’s making it up as she’s going along. In this documentary Cherry meets a whole range of mothers with many different approaches to parenting – from the new age mother who doesn’t believe in rules to the cotton wool mum, who wants to protect her children from the big bad world for as long as possible. Cherry is still learning what type of Mum she will turn out to be, and this programme follows her on the beginning of that journey.

Faye is literally the type of person all the people in my area are. I’ve grown up as if it was normal so she seems pretty normal I just think the interview blew it out of proportion.
Always shocked to see parents resort to physical punishment… Very sad.
I’m surprised about how oblivious the mother is to her part in her 14-year-old daughter’s behavior. You’re rude, disrespectful, invasive and a bully. Treating your daughter like your enemy won’t bring you closer. Trust is important, and in order to even regain some trust, you must give her something to work with.
My parents thought I was bad. Guess what I did all day: stay home, sleep, read books, study. When I’m not home, they’d say “what have you been doing out all day?”. I went out maybe once or twice a month… to the mall. I never did drugs, never really met friends outside of school/scouts/ robotics/Kung fu, didn’t date, didn’t really leave the house unless my parents drove me because I didn’t get my license until I was 17. Mind that in my area, no one walks anywhere, no one takes public transportation, and most of my friends didn’t drive or have cars. I either had my parents drive me or had my friends’ parents drive me.
And through all this, I know I wasn’t good enough. I know what they want: a daughter with straight A’s who never leaves the house, does no extracurriculars, cleans the house, laundry etc.
M8 these kids all have it easy
Idk, man I have a 18 & 14 year old girls & I’ve never had issues like this. There have always been consistent consequences for poor behavior but I’ve always made sure they have felt heard as well. I find it strange that parents let their young children get their way without a reasoned argument put forth by the child. If throwing a fit is something they learn works, why are they ever going to do any differently?
Hitting isn’t a great way to get the respect they seem to be wanting from their kids either.
You can’t swear at your children and expect them not to swear. You cannot hit your children and not expect them not to hit you or other people. You cannot tell your children to shut up and expect them to not tell you and others to shut up. Children are mirrors.
FO to parents who smack their kids ALSO to those who complain when once puberty problems come all they do is BLAME and COMPLAIN
IF YOU ARE THERE WITH YOUR KIDS BEFORE PUBERTY THEY WILL OKAY
You can’t put them out in the night do you want some one thank them away 😟😟
I wonder if Cherry gave the dancer a tip.
Kid in that second family seems a bit old to be using a pacifier.
Chantelle impresses me. She’s incredible. She really loves her kids, that’s why she couldn’t say no
I’m over 18 and I’m still not allowed out after sunset. I drive myself…
Children want to be adults, so try to be the person you want your children to become. If they’re old enough, try reasoning with them. Ask how they feel, why they’ve done it and how they would feel if you would to the same. Never smack, because aggression becomes aggression.
Food…well, again, children want to grow up. Let them touch the vegetables, smell them, give them pieces to try. Let them throw the food into the blender, etc. That should already make them eat…if not, feed them the same time you eat and try to give them the same foods. Maybe with no or less seasoning. If everything fails, prepare two dishes. One is already for the next day/meal and let them choose.
I live in a bubble and most people I know live in a bubble too.
Well the disciplinarian one isn’t that bad.
Wow the parents say PLEASE to their kids?! I’ve never heard my parents say please to me lol
I would say smacking a child is child abuse
woah feel so sorry for those two boys, those aren’t parents they have, those are prison wardens
As parents we all have different ideas on what we consider proper parenting and wrong parenting… The one little girl being afraid of everything is just sad to me… Im mean yes inform you child, have rules etc, but to have your kid scared to death of life is sad.. Childhood os supposed to be a time of feeling secure, free and happy.. that child is terrified of everything..
ALL OF THESE PARENTS ARE TERRIBLE
Did the disciplinarian really just argue she doesn’t honestly believe “anybody has got the right to say what you can and can’t do with your child”??
Sounds like she doesn’t like to be “disciplined” herself… 🤦♀️
Wtf was the second parents that’s horrific
I have so many feelings right now. The stripper thing had me in tears . An I was beaten before it was horriable an that still made me more sad
smacking works… worked fro me.. difference between excessive smacking "abuse" which doesnt help but great drama. there smacking where shows impact for wrong doing child learns .
omg you put your kids outside?!
oh wait, doctor who I like them now
Watching this video has really made me consider parenting classes, just to see which is actually the ‘right’ way to bring up a child. As a mother to a 5 month old baby I can’t imagine her doing half the things some of the children on this show have done. Better learn how to prevent the behavior as I guess that is easier than learning to fix the behavior.
Cant be too soft or too strict or youll breed a monster.
Maybe put Abby in art classes.. occupy her time and give her a different peer group.
My mom always put us outside when we were behaving bad. One day it was raining while i was outside and i remember being so angry i punch the window of my house. Not sure if it really helped, but it made me hate them more lol. Now im old and i think i have better manners then my older sister, and i love my parents 🤝
If smacking their kids is something that worked they wouldn’t be doing it so frequently.
Actually, all kids need respect and love. That’s it.
Pushy and protective sounds like everything I know
that MCR top though
Wow them parents who smacked there children are clearly deluded what awful ‘parenting’ poor kids
If you can make 3000 a night, which is more than we make a month, why work 3 jobs? Why would you not want to spend time with your babies? Making that much you can still provide a good life for your kids AND be able to make lasting memories with them.
You put your kids outside!?
That’s awful! There another Way to punish them!
AND SMACK!!
8:30 is this mom stupid? You have a picky eater and THIS is what you are trying to feed her.. that even looks gross to me and I am not a picky eater at all.. and it took you 4 hours to make? That’s not the toddlers fault.. that’s your stupid choice.. omg and then she has her eating cheese puffs? Well there ya go… pretty obvious what the problem is.
Honestly, I have a lot of respect for the stripper
At least Abby has good friends
I think the little boy knew he was going to get hit by his parents and didn’t want it on camera so he tried to cover the lens with his hand.
Indulgent mom or irresponsible mom?! works all night, spends for all unwanted stuffs the next morning
Literally crying watching the strict parents 😭😭 I don’t disagree with their methods specifically but feel if they tried communicating better with the children, maybe they wouldn’t have to resort to treating them like dogs!
With the strict parents, Why did they film it?
Kid backwards = dik
Her face when her daughter actually feeds herself. LOL. Priceless. God says, if you love your children you discipline them. 🙂
If I’d have told my Mum to Sod Off, I’d have been walloped in to next week by my Dad
Low key disgusted with the second couple. How can you casually smack your kids purposefully and not feel guilty about it?
My parents were the strict ones, but it was only when they gave warnings and me and my siblings didnt stop or we were causing a really bad ruckus in a public place, but they mostly would explain after and we would always makeup.
I am 15 years old. My parent are not very strict at all but set a wonderful example of what I should be like. I have never had alcohol, don’t go to parties, I have amazing friends, I am close to my parents and my twin sister, and am a straight A student. I don’t think parents need to be super strict to be good parents.
I feel so sorry for Abby’s mum I hate to see her cry and it just sad because her mum obviously wanted the best for Abby
