Jo also teaches the parents how to discipline their children, effectively using positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior.

Throughout the episode, the Minyon family undergoes a transformation, with the children becoming more well-behaved and loving towards each other. The parents are more relaxed and happy, as they regain control of their home and their lives.
