Jo Frost Extreme Parental Guidance

Six-year-old Jack has his mum bruised, battered and defeated by the battle he wages each bedtime, and he's not afraid to take a swing at Jo. Can she persuade mum Nikkie to march into the fray and take on her violent son? For superhero fan George, ten costume changes a day is a way of life - now he can't concentrate at school and is falling behind. If Jo is to bring this five-year-old back into the real world she needs to unlock the root of his obsession. The Roadshow deals with sore losers, fears and phobias, and how to handle attention-seeking behaviour. And Jo takes a look at what she believes the single most important cause of parenting problems - families not spending enough time together. The average child spends just 49 minutes a day doing things with their parents. Jo wants to show families how to spend more time together.

Nine-year-old Max hasn't eaten a hot meal in his life. Existing on a diet of custard creams, he has no energy and is unable to concentrate at school. Trenyce is bullied at school. Sad, angry and unable to ask for help, she makes her family pay for it at home. Jo has to teach this seven-year-old how to talk to her mum, and gives both of them the techniques to manage Trenyce's fury. The roadshow deals with sleep problems, imaginary friends and a young wannabe glamour model looking for surgery. And Jo continues her campaign for families to spend more time together, showing how just ten minutes can make a huge difference.

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.

Young brothers Tashan and Diaan are so unruly their mum thinks boarding school in India may be the only answer. Can Jo help rebuild a family and keep the brothers under the family roof? Three-year-old Grace picks holes in her face while she sucks her thumb and her parents have tried everything to address the problem. Jo thinks the solution lies not with Grace herself but her older sister Ella. Also Jo continues with her first ever roadshow, offering her unique brand of no-nonsense advice. Jo advises parents and kids on how to get more active, inspired by the fact that one in three children spends less time outdoors than most prisoners.

Around a million children are being raised in step-families and it's not always plain sailing. Jack, Chloe and Demi have big problems with their stepdad, and the feeling is mutual, with mum Maria stuck in the middle. With the relationship at stake, Jo's got to produce results fast if these children aren't to lose another father figure. Five-year-old Corey has elevated temper tantrums to an Olympic standard and the decibel levels are wearing down everyone at home. But is Corey the worst offender? Also, Jo's back on the road giving parents straight-talking advice on everything from fussy eating to potty training, new baby jealousy to bullying. Family quality time is the key to tackling the big parenting problems and the fact that children get just 49 minutes a day doing things with their mums and dads is a call to action for Jo. This week she's got an after-work strategy to help parents give their children what they need.

Jo Frost runs into major tantrums in this show when she meets 11-year-old Josh, who has a furious temper that's turning home life into a battlefield. Josh's relationship with his dad is proving hard for both of them, and something has to change. Jo gets to the bottom of the problem and has to persuade both sides to build again from the ground up. Oliver is a dawn-raiding biscuit bandit whose early morning missions disrupt the whole house. Not only are mum and dad exhausted, but when Jo examines the dangerous lengths this five year old will go to for treats - it becomes obvious that it's time for action. This time Jo's roadshow deals with the three year old who won't give up breast-feeding, the trials of sibling rivalry, and a fussy eater who'd rather starve for six days than give in to a healthier diet.

Jo catches up with families to see how they've coped since she first answered their pleas for help. Six-year-old Paige had never slept a full night in her own bed, leaving her mum exhausted. Bedtime was a battle that took hours each night and when Jo installed a new bedtime regime, Paige struggled. A year on, Jo learns whether mum has been strong willed enough with Paige to reclaim her evenings. Ten-year-old Bailey spent up to 80 hours a week fixated on fantasy computer games. With his obsession affecting his schoolwork, Jo is keen to find out if Bailey has kicked his unhealthy habit for good. Madison was a pageant princess on stage and a mini diva at home. Mum found her excessive designer lifestyle draining - both emotionally and financially. If she didn't get her daughter's expenses in check she feared losing the house. A year on, has mum managed to curb the out-of-control spending and keep their home?

Emma and Adrian have a 14-year-old girl called Bronwyn and a 3-year-old girl called Elois. Amanda and Roger have an 11-year-old girl Saffron, an 8-year-old boy called Rio and a 6-year-old girl called Sienna. Babar and Cliff have an 11-year-old boy called Jordon and a 9-year-old boy called Regan, who was born with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
