Parents, it seems, are no longer trusted to parent. If you fail to take on the latest childcare fad deemed best by policy makers for your baby, then you risk being judged a 'bad parent' - guilty of some kind of negligence and abuse. Hence the recent story in the UK of four children being taken away from their parents, without a right to contact, because the family were fat. WORLDbytes Citizen TV makers visited Jennie Bristow, journalist and writer of Standing Up To Supernanny and Alison Small and Jane Sandeman, members of the Institute of Ideas Parenting Forum who provide a critical and thought provoking perspective, questioning prevailing distrust.

Why is that parenting has become such a battlefield with authorities getting involved in the tiniest things.This film really gets to grips with explaining what is going on and why we should say no to a 'nanny' state.

Do we really need to be ‘Taught’ how to bring up a child? Why should parenting be influenced by scientific findings? Parenting is a natural process. The people who create these so-called rules, well are they really ‘better’ parents than everyone else or are they the ideal parents themselves? I doubt it!
