Jo Frost Extreme Parental Guidance

Madison and Layla (2x3)

Air date: Jul 20, 2011

Jo meets six-year-old Madison, who suffers from furious tantrums, and five-year-old Layla, who has never slept a night in her own bed. Madison's mum and dad have sought advice from just about everyone to help cope with their daughter's tantrums, and see Jo as their last resort. The couple are separated, but live just a few houses apart, so Madison ends up screaming two houses down instead of just the one. Is such close proximity something of a mixed blessing? Bedtime is scary for Layla - so scary that in all of her five years she's never slept a night in her own bed. She creates such a disturbance that she gets into mum and dad's bed. With her baby brother already there, and her younger sister following her, no one gets any sleep... not with five in a bed. And this time the roadshow looks at the parenting generation gap, with a dad aged 64 and a 26-year-old mum who can't agree on how to parent their children.
