Frank and Karen (in unison on Jo's DVD-player): "Hi, we're the Parkinson family!"

Karen: "I'm Karen."

Frank: "And I'm Frank and I'm a stay-at-home dad."

Karen: "And we have two kids. Olivia, who's 6, and Megan, who's 4. Olivia has been kicked out of three schools over the last year due to her violent behavior."

[Jo gets out of her Supernanny van, walks up the steps to the Parkinson family's front door, and knocks on it]

[A woman with wavy, shoulder-length, chestnut brown hair answers the door with a smile]

Jo: "Hello."

Karen (smiling): "Hi, I'm Karen, pleased to meet you."

Jo: "Hi, Olivia. Pleased to meet you, I'm Jo-Jo." [Jo and Olivia shake hands]

[A little girl with long, straight, light brown, almost dirty blonde, hair, and dark brown eyes, walks into the room]

Karen (smiling): "This is Megan."

Jo: "Hi, Megan, pleased to meet you. I'm Jo-Jo. Shake Jo-Jo's hand." [Jo and Megan shake hands]

Jo: "So, Frank and Karen, I'm here today to observe the family, I understand you have some issues that need to be addressed, but carry on as normal as if I'm not even here."

Karen: "OK."

Frank: "Sounds good to me."

Observation Begins
Jo: "I couldn't have been really in the doorway for more than five minutes when Olivia started to kick off and behave extremely naughty."

[Olivia attempts to throw a ball at Karen's head]

Karen: "Knock it off."

[Olivia laughs]

Karen: "We don't throw balls in the house. If you wanna play ball, go outside."

Olivia: "Shut the (*bleep*) up!"

Karen: "HEY! Olivia, watch your mouth."

[Olivia continues to threaten to throw the ball at Karen's head]

Karen (sternly): "Don't you dare throw it at me."

[Olivia throws the ball at Karen's head]

Karen: "That's it. You've lost this ball."

Olivia (screaming): "NOOOOOO!"

Karen: "You can have it back tomorrow, if you behave yourself for the rest of the day."

Olivia: "NO! GIMME MY BALL BACK NOW!"

Karen: "You better stop screaming at me!"

Olivia: "GIMME MY BALL BACK!!"

Karen: "No!"

[Olivia starts hitting Karen]

Karen: "DO NOT HIT ME!"

Jo: "Is Olivia always aggressive like this to you?"

Karen: [sighs] "Yes, unfortunately. Usually if she doesn't get her way or is told no."

Observation continues
Jo: "I couldn't believe Olivia had the same brain mixed with Lois Kiejeliches so Megan scribbled all over the walls."

[Megan scribbles all over the walls with a black crayon]

[Karen gasps]

Megan: "Mommy! Mommy! Look!"

Karen: "Megan! Did you do this?"

Megan: "Yes I did!"

Karen: "You are staying in the Naughty Triangle for 4 minutes!"

Megan: "Okay."

[Karen drags Megan to the Naughty Triangle]

Karen: "You have lost your Draculaura doll for 4 minutes, missy!"

4 minutes later...

Karen: "You can get out now. I cleaned up the walls for you."

Megan: "Yay! Can I have my Draculaura doll?"

Karen: "Yes you may."

Megan: "Sweet!"

Olivia: "What a good girl she is!"

Naughty Triangle
Jo: "Later on, Mom and Dad were trying to get Olivia to go shopping with them. But Olivia refused to go and wanted to go to her friend's house."

Olivia: "I want to go to Lily's house, please!"

Karen: "Not today. We are shopping at the mall to buy a birthday present for your cousin Elizabeth."

Olivia: "But I want to go see Lily! She's got a new in-ground pool!"

Karen: "I didn't ask you! I said not today! You have to help Mommy pick out a birthday present for Elizabeth."

Jo: "And that's when the fireworks went off."

Olivia: "I WANNA GO SEE LILY!"

Frank: "Olivia, no!"

Olivia (crying): "I WANNA GO TO LILY'S HOUSE!!!! I WANNA GO TO LILY'S HOOOOOOOOOUSE!!!"

[Olivia throws a tantrum like a 2-year-old]

Frank: "Stop this behavior right now! It isn't me, it is you! We have to get a birthday present for Elizabeth. If you continue this tantrum, you will go to the Naughty Triangle, and all of your Maya & Miguel toys will be in toy jail, and you won't have it back until three days. Got it?"

[Olivia ignores Frank and continues throwing her tantrum]

Olivia (screeching): "I WANT TO GO AND SEE LILY!!!"

Jo: "Firmly tell her to get in the car, otherwise she will lose her Maya & Miguel play set."

Karen (firmly): "Olivia Marie Parkinson, this is your warning. You need to get in the car right now, otherwise you will lose your Maya & Miguel play set for three days. Is that clear?"

[Olivia climbs out of her bedroom window and runs to Lily's house]

Olivia: "I WILL SEE LILY IN NO TIME!"

Frank: "GET OVER HERE OR ALL OF YOUR MAYA & MIGUEL TOYS WILL BE SOLD ON EBAY!"

Jo: "I was like, eBay?"

Jo: "How is threatening to sell your child's toys on eBay supposed to teach her to listen to you and teach her to behave?"

Frank: "I'm frustrated. Let's go, Olivia!"

[Frank grabs Olivia as she tries to run to Lily's house]

Olivia (screaming): "I WANT LILYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!"

Karen: "Well, it's too late now!"

Jo: "Dad eventually took Olivia back to the house, but what came next was absolutely shocking."

[Olivia smacks Karen in the face repeatedly]

[Karen smacks Olivia's hand]

Karen: "You do not smack me in the face! That is not nice! It doesn't work OK!"

Olivia: "GO TO H(*bleep*)!!"

Jo: "I was absolutely appalled when Karen smacked Olivia back when Olivia smacked her. I do not approve of parents smacking their children at all."

[Karen tries to get Olivia into the car, but Olivia squirms and starts kicking and hitting Karen]

Karen (screaming angrily): "OLIVIA MARIE!!!!"

[Olivia is crying and screaming hysterically, while hitting and kicking her mother]

Jo: "Mom was struggling to control Olivia, so I stepped in and gave her a firm talking-to."

[Jo gets very angry with Olivia]

Jo: "This is unacceptable behavior! I really don't appreciate your behavior! These aren't acceptable!"

Olivia (sneering): "I want to see Lily anyway, and you're not taking me to the mall anyway, f(*bleep*) face." (Blows raspberry with her tongue)

[Jo doesn't seem pleased and raises her voice]

Jo: "THAT IS ENOUGH!!! YOU ARE FAILING TO LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER!!!!!"

Olivia: "I HATE YOU!"

[Olivia cartwheels to Lily's house]

Olivia: "I WILL GO TO LILY'S HOUSE IN NO TIME!"

Frank: "Listen to me, if you go to Lily's house, I will sell your Maya & Miguel toys on eBay!"

[Olivia darts back into the house, locks her bedroom door, packs all her stuff, darts right out the window, and cartwheels to Lily's house]

Olivia: "TOO LATE! I WILL GO TO LILY'S HOUSE AND YOU WON'T SELL MY MAYA & MIGUEL TOYS ON EBAY!"

Frank: "I'll sell your Wander plushie on eBay."

Olivia: "I PACKED THOSE TOO! I PACKED EVERYTHING I HAVE! AND NOW I'M GOING TO LILY'S HOUSE!"

[Olivia darts right to Lily's house]

Karen: "Come back here right now!!!"

[Karen grabs Olivia by the arm and drags her back to the house]

Olivia (screaming at the top of her lungs): "I WANNA GO TO LILY'S HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUSE!!!!!!!!!!"

Frank: "Well, you can't. We're going to the mall."

[Olivia screams at the top of her lungs]

Jo: "Olivia then started screaming, so I stepped in again."

Jo (in a firm voice): "Right now, your behavior is absolutely appalling! When your mother or father asks you to do something, YOU do it! It wasn't me, It was you. You are not going to Lily's house and that decision is final. You've now lost your Maya & Miguel play set and your Wander plushie for a week. Now get in the car and do as you're told."

[Olivia starts kicking Jo]

Jo: "Stop kicking me right now!"

[Frank, Karen and Jo drag Olivia into the car]

Olivia: "I'll pee in my pants right now!"

Karen: "Don't you dare pee in your pants!"

[Cut to Karen dismantling Olivia's car seat]

Frank: "Ow! Please don't smack me!"

Karen: "You don't smack at your father, That is not nice!"

[Olivia pushes Frank]

Olivia: "SHUT UP!!!!"

Jo: "Not only is it not OK, it's also dangerous. If the driver can't see the road, a serious accident could happen, If the driver shouldn't see the road, it will hurt you."

[Olivia constantly swears all the way home. As soon as they get there, Olivia runs straight to Lily's house]

Jo: Thank you."

White Sheets Technique
Jo: "Today I brought in the White Sheets since Frank and Karen always allowed Olivia to touch, use, and go. This family has some issues that need to be addressed."

Jo: "Today, I'm going to introduce you to...the White Sheets. This technique is very important and there are issues that need to be addressed because you always allowed Olivia to touch, use, and go. When she sees anything marked with a White Sheet, that means it's not touchable; she is not allowed to touch it or use it. Also, when she sees a door that leads to a bedroom with a white sheet, that means she cannot go in there. It means, no go."

Frank: "Olivia, when you see the White Sheet, it means, just for you, not touchable. No touch, no use, and no go."

Olivia: "F(*bleep*) off."

Karen: "Do not say that. These sheets mean you're forbidden from touching and using it."

Olivia: "F(*bleep*) off."

Karen: "Olivia, This is your warning if you say that one more time, you will go to the naughty triangle, You got it."

Olivia: "Yes!"

Karen: "OK, Don't say that, One more time, Then to the naughty triangle for not listening to me."

Olivia: "F(*bleep*) off."

[Karen puts Olivia back to the Naughty Triangle]

Jo: "Don't talk to her, Just put her back to the Naughty Triangle."

Olivia: "DOES THE WHITE SHEET SUCKS"

Karen: "No, It doesn't suck, These aren't all suck either!"

[Olivia back in the Naughty Triangle]

6 minutes later

Jo: "Did you like that?"

Olivia and Megan (in unison): "YEAH!"

Jo Goes Away for a While

Jo: "I am leaving for several days."

Karen: "Do you have any advice if Olivia ruins Elizabeth's birthday party?"

Jo: "If Olivia ruins Elizabeth's birthday party, tell her she has to write an essay explaining what she did wrong and an apology letter to Elizabeth and her mother."

Karen: "OK."

Jo: "If she refuses to write the essay or apology letter, she will either lose any of her toys, be sent to the Naughty Triangle, or be sent to bed early."

Karen: "Alright."

Frank: "Also, she will lose her TV privileges for a week and she'll be forbidden from playing with her friends until further notice. And she'll be grounded for a week, too."

Later...

Karen: "Olivia, this is absolutely the last birthday party your father and I will ever take you to until you can behave properly."

Olivia: "Good! I am glad! I never liked stupid birthday parties anyway! I never liked stupid, ugly Elizabeth either!"

Frank: "The next time we go to a birthday party, you will be staying with Grandma, young lady! And you WILL have to write a 100-word essay about what you did at the party and an apology letter to Elizabeth and her mommy! Also, you will never see Lily again!"

Olivia: "I WILL STILL GO AND SEE LILY!!!!"

Frank: "You will never see Lily or any of your friends ever again and you will go to bed early if you continue this behavior!"

[Olivia reluctantly grabs a pencil and begins writing an apology letter to Elizabeth and Terri under Frank's supervision]

[Jo plays the next clip]

Frank: "This is your first warning. Keep up this tantrum and you will go to time-out!"

[Olivia cries and throws herself on the ground, throwing a temper tantrum]

[Olivia kicks Frank's leg]

Frank: "I was frustrated at that point, so I decided to just let it go."

Jo: "You still need to discipline your daughter when she behaves like this towards you. Alright. Let's take a look at the next clip."

[Jo plays the next clip]

Karen: "OLIVIA MARIE PARKINSON!!!! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR NONSENSE!!! GET OUT OF THE POOL NOW!!!!!"

Karen: "Come on, Olivia."

[Karen takes Olivia by the hand and drags her straight to the car]

[Jo stops the DVD]

Jo: "Let's stop here for a moment. When Olivia was behaving like that, you should've gone right to her and said to her in a very firm voice (*changes into a low, firm voice*), 'You do NOT behave like this, and if you continue to behave this way, you will be going on the Naughty Triangle when we get home, and trust me, you're gonna be in trouble'."

[Karen puts great-grandmother's crystal vase glass in the trash]

Karen: "Just go to your room, I'm done for the night!"

[Olivia walks upstairs to her room]

[Jo stops the DVD]

Jo: "Now, Frank, though what Olivia did was wrong, you should have stayed calm."

Frank: "Sometimes, when Olivia acts like that, I tend to lose my temper."

Jo: "Are we ready to get some work done?"

Frank & Karen: "Yes!"

Jo (closes her DVD-player): "All right! Let's go then!"

Reinforcements
Olivia (to Karen): "Shut up, you (bleep)!"

Jo: "That language is totally unacceptable! How dare you call your mother a (bleep)!"

Olivia (sneering): "Well, I did, so ha ha!"

Jo: "That's it! You're going to time-out right now!"

[Jo places Olivia in time-out on the Naughty Triangle]

Jo: "Now your behavior is unacceptable and I do not like it. You will sit here for 6 minutes and think about your actions. Your mother will also take away your iPod for the rest of the day."

[Karen confiscates Olivia's iPod]

[Olivia stays in time-out for 6 minutes]

6 minutes later...

Jo: "You were on the Naughty Triangle for cussing and disrespecting your mother. I would like an apology for those things."

Olivia: "Sorry."

Jo: "Thank you so much for apologizing. You can get up now."

Megan: "(bleep)!"

Jo: "Stop swearing or you will go to the Naughty Triangle!"

Megan: "Check this out!"

[Cut to a shot of pink and purple crayon scribbling on the wall]

Frank: "Megan! Did you just draw on the wall?!"

Megan: "Yes, I did!"

Frank: "That's it! You're getting a time-out, young lady!"

[Frank places Megan on the Naughty Triangle]

Frank: "You're in the Naughty Triangle for drawing on the wall!"

Jo: "Where do we draw, Megan? On the wall or on paper?"

Megan: "Um... on paper."

Jo: "Exactly. Now stay on this triangle for 4 minutes, please."

[Megan tests Frank by running off of the Naughty Triangle, laughing as if she thinks it's a game]

[Karen grabs Megan and places her back onto the Naughty Triangle]

Karen: "No! Stay on the Naughty Triangle!"

Jo: "Don't talk to her, Karen, just reset the timer, and then walk away."

[Megan finally stays put for 4 minutes with a smile on her face]

Megan: "And then, I went to the Naughty Triangle without crying, throwing a tantrum, escaping, flipping out, or screaming."

4 minutes later...

Frank: "Megan, you were on the Naughty Triangle for drawing on the wall. Say sorry now."

Megan: "Sorry, Daddy."

[Frank and Megan hug]

Jo: "Olivia and Megan have turned over their new leaves now."

[Olivia is writing an apology letter that reads "Dear family. I am so sorry for being rude and obnoxious. I wish I will be good for right now. Love, Olivia."]

Frank: "I love your apology, Olivia."

Olivia: "Thank you."

Bye-Bye, Jo Jo
Jo: "Jo-Jo's going home now."

Olivia: "Bye. And don't come back!"

Jo: "That is a mean way to say goodbye to me. Try it again, please."

Olivia: "Bye."

Jo: "That's much better. Thank you very much."
