Jo Frost Extreme Parental Guidance

Jack, Chloe and Demi, and Corey (2x5)

:

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.
