Playlist: Behavior and Development: Two Baby on Board Case S
Only the most naïve parent expects constant domestic bliss, but when kids get out of control, frustration, anger—and, most of all, pleas for help—are completely natural. This program deals with behavior and development obstacles faced by two different families of young children. Three-year-old Leon has speech problems which often force his widowed mother and older brother Josh to translate for him. Leon’s many tantrums are a related concern. The mother of three-year-old twins Ben and Kyle and their brother Josh, 11, is also frequently swamped by behavior challenges while her husband is away on business. Public health nurse Gráinne Ryan helps both families build coping skills and support mechanisms. (25 minutes)
