Private Notes
With their three-year-old daughter Bella totally ruling the roost, the Vernons, in the Wirral, have turned to nanny Kathryn Mewes in desperation. Simple tasks, like getting dressed or brushing teeth, are a guaranteed trigger for a tantrum - epic screaming fits that can last for hours at a time. With the couple failing to agree how best to manage their daughter's belligerence, cracks in the family are starting to show. Kathryn shows Mike and Emma how to regain control and focuses on improving the couple's relationship with their daughter. But with Bella railing against the new regime, will three days be enough to get the Vernon family back on track?
This time, in Luton, two-year-old Sebastian is literally banging his head against the wall in frustration. This toddler will also hit, bite and kick to get his parents' attention. Mum and dad feel powerless to control him. Kathryn finds out that Livia and Paul had a long and difficult journey to start a family. She needs to get mum and dad to stop wrapping their son in cotton wool. Easier said than done.
In Lincoln, for the first time in her career, Kathryn Mewes comes face-to-face with parents she feels lack the fundamental skills for the role. Ian and Janine Clemmit have tried to give their two boys everything they think they need. They've lavished them with toys and showered them with affection. But there's one thing they have never given them: boundaries. The result is a mum who's lost all control, a dad who is completely overwhelmed and a traumatised family cat. Three-year-old Liam and one-year-old Luke are completely out of control. They hit and bite each other, their parents and the family cat. Kathryn encourages the parents to get back to basics with their parenting, only to make a discovery that could be the key to the family's problems.
