Supernanny Season 2 Full Episode Guide
The Uva boys, Trevor (7) and Travis (4), disrespect authority figures, curse, insult and bully their classmates. They expect their parents to do everything for them -- in fact the seven-year-old insists his mom help him go to the potty. Mom Rosemary owns and operates a pre-school full time, and is too tired by day's end to give her boys the attention and love they desperately need. She craves more help from her husband, John, a stay-at-home dad who is admittedly clueless and detached from his sons. He brings them to Rosemary's pre-school every day because he doesn't know what else to do with them. The boys have gained a reputation for being the worst behaved kids there, and their parents have essentially given up. Jo enters the equation with a master plan for this family to wake up to the reality of their situation. Her ultimate goal is to boost John's pride in his role as stay-at-home dad, teach both parents to step up their discipline measures, and help the family bond and become happier.

Can Supernanny fix this fragmented family of five?

Tim Wujcik and his wife, Toni, seem to have it all -- he's a great provider, Toni's the hard-working stay-at-home mom, and they have three beautiful children. But they need what money can't buy -- mutual respect among all family members and a tranquil home life. Instead, the older boys -- Alec, 6 and Bryce, 4 -- are wantonly destructive with their many toys, and aggressively defy Mom's efforts at discipline. Baby Carly, 1, is learning all the wrong lessons from her older siblings, and Toni swings between being too timid with her kids and too harsh when she's had enough. Tim admits that he's the fourth child in the family -- undercutting Toni's efforts at discipline and instigating trouble with the kids. His preferred method of discipline is to "reason" with the children with lots of talking, but it isn't working. Dad needs to grow up fast and Jo Frost is on the scene to help.

He has major separation anxiety, and has been known to follow Erin's car all the way to the highway when she tries to leave the house. On top of it all, Grant wakes up at 3:00 a.m. every morning and insists on sleeping with Mom. Dad gets so fed up with the crowded conditions that he moves himself onto the living room sofa!

Well-behaved oldest child Dylan, 13, is often pressed into service as a babysitter or overshadowed by his siblings, Shermie, 5, and Shelby, 3, who are literally climbing the walls. Shermie is rambunctious, disrespectful, aggressive and hits his mother. During timeout, he'll run all the way out the door and up a tree, and Shelby is no better. She's apt to pull every book off the house's shelves when angered, eats dinner in front of the TV instead of with the family, and both tykes refuse to stay out of Dylan's room. Joelle copes by yelling a lot, which the kids ignore, and Dad has no idea how to engage with his children.
