Episode summary[]
Alejandra trying to control Kyle after he hit Farley
Jo Frost visits West Hills in Los Angeles, California to meet Heather (38) and Michael Park (39) and the family nanny, Alejandra with their three children: 6-year-old son Kyle, 4-year-old daughter Farley, and 2-year-old son, Pierce.
Kyle is diagnosed with ADHD. He can be very impulsive, aggressive and does dangerous things by going swimming without asking anyone and standing on furniture. Homework is a 2 hour struggle. Kyle just refuses to do it all and runs off. His parents took him off medication after a month. His parents also refuse to help him and all they do is yell at him. Their nanny, Alejandra also can get frustrated with Kyle.
Meanwhile the two youngest children, Farley and Pierce are picking up Kyle's aggressive behavior.
Can Jo help the parents and Alejandra to manage the kids better and work on Kyle's ADHD?
