Presenter: Shelly Lloyd
"Can watching television make you a better parent or grandparent?---These families were experiencing very extreme behaviour problems with their children. The interesting part of it is that, in doing so the Home Office in the UK, through its Anti-Social Behaviour Unit funded an evaluation trail of what the effects were on the parenting skills of the viewers (who were parents), and track the outcomes in terms of changes in children’s behaviour."
