Supernanny.McGrath.Family

Bill and Tammy McGrath of Hamlin, New York, have three beautiful young children, and their middle son, Aiden, 5, was recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Managing his illness is very anxiety-provoking for Tammy, because she saw her father die of diabetes at just 46 years of age. She sees Aiden's diagnosis as her worst fears realized, and mealtime has become a battlefield. Aiden makes power plays, refusing to eat, which not only threatens his own health and frightens Tammy, but causes problems for both parents in adjusting Aiden's insulin levels. The other kids, Liam, 4, and Paige, 9, feel their parents' distraction and are frustrated by it -- Paige hides out in her bedroom and Liam acts out aggressively. Jo pinpoints Bill and Tammy's problems communicating effectively and enforcing discipline -- their versions of timeouts are useless. Can she help Bill and Tammy regain control of their family?

oh ok

@eeveepichu1 -- I wouldn't say that it's better, though it's somewhat different. I personally liked Jo, but "America's Supernanny" is interesting...not so much the nanny herself, but the families. One has a kid with Down's Syndrome, another is a lesbian couple with 2 older kids and toddler quads, and there's a family with (I believe) 10 kids and Mom is about to have twins...I think all of the episodes are on the show's website, if you live in the US.

@tongpigline -- Season 6. There were 7 seasons, but the show has ended and was replaced with "America's Supernanny."

Why cant disabilities be used as acceptable excuses for behavior and failure?
