-
>> Meet Chris and Nikki
-
and their
two children,
-
15-month-old McKenzie,
-
and big brother
Cameron, who is four.
-
Cameron's violent
outbursts and
-
relentless tantrums
are pushing
-
this household
to the brink.
-
>> I do dread getting
up in the morning.
-
I don't know what
to do with him.
-
He controls the
whole family.
-
When Cameron kicks off,
-
he can bite, kick, spit,
-
hit, slam doors,
throw things around,
-
and be quite
destructive, as well.
-
>> We'll physically have
-
to rip him off
the banisters.
-
>> Chris' answer is to
-
shut Cameron in his room.
-
>> But we can be
stuck up there for
-
an hour and still have
the same behavior.
-
He'll kick and then scream
-
and he'll bang the door.
-
You'll then be
in a tug of war
-
on a door with a
4-year-old child.
-
>> Cameron's out of
control behavior
-
isn't limited to
the family home.
-
>> Cameron has now
actually been asked
-
to leave the nursery.
-
He has smacked staff,
-
bitten staff, the
-
same to other
children as well.
-
If we don't get
his behavior
-
sorted before he starts
school in September,
-
I am quite worried
that he's going to be
-
excluded from every school
-
in this borough. I will.
-
>> Nikki and Chris believe
-
a family tragedy may have
-
had a lasting
impact on Cameron.
-
>> Some of Cameron's
bad behavior could be
-
put down to the fact that
-
his younger brother died,
-
and Cameron was only two
and 1/2 at the time.
-
>> Josh was 11 months old
-
when they lost
him to cot death.
-
>> Things like
that teach you
-
that there isn't
always a tomorrow,
-
and sometimes I feel
-
like it's just for today.
-
Which is probably
why I don't
-
discipline him as
much as I should.
-
>> Nikki's reluctance
to reprimand
-
Cameron is a source
of conflict.
-
>> I don't think you
discipline him at all.
-
>> I just feel sometimes
-
that he's so naughty,
-
and everyone's
always cross at him,
-
that if I wasn't
there for him
-
to give him a cuddle,
then nobody would.
-
I don't know how
much more of
-
all this that we can
all take as a family,
-
of mine and Chris'
relationship.
-
>> Super nanny Jo Frost is
-
the last hope for
Nikki and Chris.
-
She spent 17 years
transforming
-
nightmare offspring
into model children.
-
But how will she
handle 10 rounds
-
with the mighty Cameron?
-
>> Hello.
-
>> Hello. Pleased to
me you, I'm Nikki.
-
>> I'm Jo.
-
>> Hi Jo. nice to meet
you. I'll have to
-
swap hands,
unfortuntely, sorry.
-
>> You broke
your hand there.
-
>> This is Cameron.
-
>> You say hello.
-
>> Hi, little one.
Hi, say hello.
-
So pleased to meet you.
-
Who's this
little one here?
-
>> He is McKenzie.
-
>> Hello. And how
old's McKenzie?
-
McKenzie, he's
15 months now.
-
>> Fifteen months.
Hello, sweetie.
-
I just want you
to carry on
-
today as you would
any other day.
-
>> I need you to go and
brush your teeth now.
-
>> Cameron.
-
Let's go brush your
teeth, Cameron.
-
>> Before she can fix
the family's problems,
-
superanny needs to
-
observe their
normal behavior.
-
And the first thing to
-
come to her attention is
-
Baby McKenzie's stuck
in his playpen.
-
>> How long do you think
-
he spends in this a day?
-
>> He probably spend
about 6 hours in there.
-
I know, he's probably
only up for 12,
-
that's half the time
he's at daycare.
-
Because most of our
time we're running
-
around after Cameron.
-
>> Six hours.
-
McKenzie should be
stimulated, exploring.
-
It's all about
his development.
-
How is he able to do that
-
when he's not even
-
allowed outside
the playpen.
-
>> Super nanny
doesn't have long to
-
wait to see
Cameron in action.
-
>> You're not climbing
-
up that, Don't hit me.
-
No, you're not
climbing up there.
-
It will not take your
weight. Stop it.
-
>> What did he just
stab in the chest for?
-
>> Because I won't let
him climb up there.
-
>> When he doesn't
get his own way,
-
is that what he
results to? Physical.
-
>> Smacking, kicking,
and spitting, yeah.
-
>> No, Cameron.
-
>> No.
-
>> Is Finn in there?
-
>> Yes.
-
>> There's no discipline
in the house.
-
>> I need you to
sit down for me.
-
>> No.
-
>> There's no order.
