Hoto Family

In this episode, Jo helps a family who just moved to Brooklyn from New Zealand. Willie (37) and Theresa Hoto (41) have their hands full with three children that refuse to listen to them. Oldest son Riki's (15) relationship with Willie is rather strained as Willie feels that Riki hangs out with the bad crowd at school and parties too much. Riki feels that Willie doesn't love him and treats him differently that his two younger sisters, Alison (13) and Rae (9). Alison is well-behaved, but Rae likes to control the household with her demanding tantrums and she CHOOSES when she goes to bed and when to eat. Can Jo sort out the Hoto's problems before things get worse?
