Arnold Family

Arnold Family is the third episode of Ultimate Supernanny. Joyce moves to Dayton, Ohio to visit a man named James (39) who is diagnosed with PTSD after he was pushed down the stairs by his abusive and very stubborn overly-religious zealot father, Robert "Bob" (69) and got paralyzed because of it but lost his wife Gloria, Sr. (40) from bile duct cancer. James now uses a wheelchair since he was quadriplegic. He now lives with Gloria's sister, Diane (37) and her children: fraternal twins Tobias and Amanda Janet "A.J." (16½), Oona (14), Enid (9) and Myra (5). James and Gloria, Sr. had four children: Gloria, Jr. (15, born with dwarfism), Peter (13, deaf), Cyndi-Natalya (11, blind) and Zach (7). Skylar is shorter than James as she uses a motorized wheelchair like him. Peter went deaf when he was 6 and now he is forced to wear a hearing aid while Cyndi-Natalya went blind when she was 5 and now she is forced to wear sunglasses and a pole to help her walk. Diane, the twins and Oona can use braille to help Cyndi-Natalya. The oldest three and the cousins are well-behaved (including Tobias and A.J., who are having their birthday party coming up), unlike Zach. Zach is very greedy as he steals things from others, eats all of the food and always wants something in return. He throws tantrums, screams, bites, swears and violent video games. Can Joyce stop the greedy child?

Discipline techniques: Punishment Circle (for Zach)

Other techniques: Video Games Technique, Homework Station, Daddy and Me, Shared Play, Magic Play Technique, and Don't Be Greedy Technique
