01. The Hancox-Smith Family
2008-09-24
In this episode, Supernanny has her hands full as tempers flare. Even though she is nearly three, Madison still breastfeeds - and her constant demands are putting a strain on Jenny and Simon Hancox-Smiths marriage. Madison sleeps in the same bed as Jenny so she can breastfeed through the night and has never slept in her own bed. The two boys, Cameron (8) and Flynn (5), are no night-time angels either. The boy's bedtime is a nightmare for the family; they refuse to stay in their beds and Simon has slept either in Flynn's bed or on the floor of their room for the last five years. And Cameron and Flynn constantly fight and swear. Even a simple car trip to the supermarket can turn into chaos...
02. The Porter Family
2008-10-01
Princess Maddy rules the roost in the Porters household. She is a nine year old who tantrums like a two year old if she doesn't get her own way. The whole family is treading on eggshells. Mum Hayley treats her like a baby: choosing her clothes, helping her shower, brushing her teeth and cutting up her food for her. Maddy even has to be bribed to take a shower. Tantrums, which can involve biting and scratching, sometimes last for hours - with mum being the main focus of Maddy's outbursts and physical aggression. Hayley's first child from a previous marriage died before he was two. Supernanny soon realises that this is why Hayley's been wrapping Maddy up in cotton wool.
03. The Tomlin Family
2008-10-08
Cancelling your family holiday for fear of your children's behaviour may seem extreme. But, thanks to the constant demands of her two-year-old twin boys and their three-year-old sister Amelia, this was the last resort for Claire Tomlin Overwhelmed and out of ideas, Claire and her husband Paul decided enough was enough, and sought the help of Supernanny Jo Frost. Twins George and Freddie are arch rivals who compete for one thing: the sole attention of mummy. They scream and scream to be picked up, and if they don't get what they want, they work themselves into such a frenzy that they throw up on demand. When they're not screaming and fighting for Mum's attention, the twins find plenty of other things to fight about. They punch, kick, bite and sometimes draw blood. Three-year-old Amelia is no angel either. Because of the terrible twins she's taken a back seat, and so has her discipline. She often hits out at mum and dad, and has no problem showing the twins who's really boss.
