Jo Frost: Extreme Parental Guidance - 4oD

Series 2 Episode 1

First Broadcast: Wed 6 July 2011 Channel 4

Six-year-old Jack has his mum bruised, battered and defeated by the battle he wages at 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.

In this series Jo shares her no-nonsense advice with more parents than ever before through her first ever roadshow. She¿s ready to tackle all the most persistent parenting problems - this time she deals with sore losers, fears and phobias, and how to handle attention-seeking behaviour.

Plus 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.
