The Weinstein Family

The Weinstein Family is the second episode of Season 3 of the American Supernanny show.

In addition to this episode, the Weinstein family members also appeared on the 100th Episode Special.

Episode summary
Jo visits the Weinstein family in Amherst, Ohio. Chia (29) and David (39) are parents to four rowdy children: 7-year-old McKenna (Kenny), 6-year-old Christina (Tina), 5-year-old Julia, and 2-year-old Robert.

With David working as a trucker away from home for more than 10 days in a row, Chia is left to look after the kids on her own. Kenny can be highly sensitive, however she can be emotional too. Julia pushes other people's buttons. Tina loses her temper, backtalks to Chia and David, and has an attitude problem. Robert likes to destroy things.

At night, bedtime is a disaster because the kids refuse to stay in their rooms and it takes hours to get them to sleep.

David is frustrated with Chia's lack of authority and overcompensates by behaving like a big bully with yelling and a very threatening physical demeanor around his kids to try and assert his authority as a parent, but it usually leaves them in tears.

Can Jo help this family and help David control his mean temper?
