Jason: of course! What's wrong with reed?
Jillian: Well he has always been pretty aggressive, but now that I'm pregnant it's been even harder to control him. Also we are going to be on an episode of Supernanny...

Madeline: *goes into the nursery*
Madeline: reed what are you doing in Stella's crib?!
Reed: I couldn't sleep on the air mattress so we switched
Madeline: *grabs the baby*
Madeline: she needs to sleep in her crib because she'll fall of the air mattress.

Madeline: did you cut her pacifier!?
Reed: she didn't need it
Madeline: Jason we have a problem...
Jason: what happened?
Madeline: your nephew just cut her pacifier... what do we do now!? It's the only thing that calms her down!!

Stella: *crying*
Madeline: *close to crying*
Jason: *half asleep*
Dianne: rough night?
Madeline: reed cut the end of her pacifier that quiets her down and we can't calm her down now!
Jason: it's literally the only thing that will calm her down!
Dianne: it's okay we can get her another one
Madeline: it was given to me at my shower so I don't know remember who gave it to me or where it came from
Dianne: Madeline I gave that to you!

Dianne: yeah! It's what would quiet reed up when he was a baby so I got one for Stella too. I'll go pick her up one after I get ready
Madeline: you are a life saver!!
*doorbell*
Jill: that's Jo
Jo: good morning
Jill: hey good morning
Jo: okay so let's sit down and watch the clip from yesterday and discuss
*watch the clips*
Jo: okay so what I am seeing here is no discipline for Reed. He is putting his poor little baby cousin in danger and he doesn't get punished for it.
Jillian: I know, He's a nightmare. I don't know how to discipline him. I'm scared for when his little sibling arrives.
Jo: so what I will show you is the discipline technique today. He also needs to learn how to be gentle and how to act around other children.
Jillian: definitely
Jo: okay so let's get started.
*The days starts*
*Caroline comes over with Addy*
*All the kids play while Madeline and the adults talk and make lunch*
*Reed pulls Addy's hair*
Addy: *screams then starts crying*
Jo: okay Jill so reed has just pulled Addy's hair. What you will do is get down to his eye level and tell him what he did wrong and put him in the naughty corner.
Jill: Reed, You pulled Addy's hair and that is not okay. You are going to sit in the naughty corner for 7 minutes. *puts reed in the corner*
Reed: *leaves the corner to go play again*
Jo: No talking, grab his hand and put him back in the corner
*one hour later*
Jo: okay his 7 minutes are up
Jill: Reed, You were in the corner because you pulled Addy's hair. I need you to go apologize to her.
reed: sorry Addy
Addy: it's okay
Jo: okay that was great Jill. you will need to follow through with that every time he misbehaves
*Few hours later*
*Reed rough housing*
Jo: He is being too rough around the baby so how are you gonna handle this?
Jill: Reed, look at me. You are being too rough around baby Stella. This is your warning, if you continue with this behavior, you are going to timeout.
*few minutes later*
Reed: *throws a block and it hits stella*
Stella: *starts crying*
Jill: Reed, You will sit in this corner for 7 minutes because you hit your baby cousin.
Jo: great job mom. He is staying there without a fight! such a difference from last time.
Jo: Is she alright?
Madeline: She'll be fine. Just a little bump on her head.
*7 minutes are up*
Jill: reed you are in timeout because you hit stella. You need to apologize to her.
Reed: sorry stella. *gives her a hug*
*night time*
Jo: okay I will be leaving now so I will see you tomorrow.
*one week passes*
Jo: I have seen extreme improvement with this family.
Madeline: I definitely feel so much safer to have Stella around Reed now.
Jill: great! I am so grateful for this. Thank you Jo!!
*Jill reed and dianne go home*
*jo leaves*
Madeline: oh thank God!
