Hobart Family

In this episode, Jo heads to Lansing, MI to help a family with two adopted children. Gary (40) and Jan (37) are struggling to discipline their oldest child because of her bad behavior. Ava (aged 6 and born in Germany) is worse than Orla Birou ever was. She kicks, hits, spits, draws on the walls and even refuses to eat fruit and vegetables. Meanwhile, little brother Jasper (aged 3 and born in Brazil) is no better and refuses to sleep in his own bed at night. Ava and Jasper's behavior isn't helped with Jan's bad temper. Can Jo help this family or will Mom's rage be too hot to handle?
