Coming up on Supernanny

Supernanny is back to battle parent panic and kid chaos! 

The McGrath family, Friday November 27, 9/8c (check local listings)

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 and refuses to eat, which not only threatens his own health and frightens Tammy, but causes problems for both parents in controlling 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 timeout are useless. Can she help Bill and Tammy regain control of their family?
