Four kids under five. Jo Frost helps Pittstown's Bredo family tackle tantrums, tablet wars, and ADHD fears with clear, practical steps.
Jessica and CJ in Pittstown, New Jersey are overwhelmed: Riley (4) is bright and strong-willed, Gage (2) is hilarious but defiant, and five-month-old twins Chase and Dax need constant care. Naps spiral, the Kindle creeps into quiet time, and family outings feel impossible. Jo observes mixed messages, empty threats, and a growing reliance on the “electronic babysitter.”
Jo gets specific. The family agrees on tablet regulation: devices only before dinner, then away for mealtimes. Seating is fixed so expectations match height and age, putting Riley in a big chair and Gage in the higher seat. With Jo’s mantra, “Mean what you say, say what you mean, but don’t say it mean,” Jessica and CJ learn to tag-team, set consistent boundaries, and sprinkle praise when the kids cooperate.
Out in town, Jo helps CJ face his anxiety taking Gage in public. She models calm redirection: hold a firm hand, keep walking through the peak of a tantrum, and narrate the task to steer attention. The payoff comes fast — a smoother shop visit, then ice cream by the water and feeding ducks together. Back home, mealtimes transform as both kids sit, engage, and enjoy positive attention.
On review day, progress shows: Gage now sits through every meal, Riley responds to clear warnings, and the verbal ping-pong between parents eases. Watch the exact techniques that turn chaos into connection and see how simple, consistent steps can reset a busy home with twins and toddlers.
