Ep 2. Corry Family

In Supernanny season 8 episode 2, viewers are introduced to the Corry family. The Corry family consists of mom Jen, dad Dan, and their four children: 10-year-old son Jaden, 8-year-old daughter Jordan, 6-year-old son Jalen, and 3-year-old daughter Jade.

Jen and Dan are struggling to manage their children's behavior, particularly that of Jaden. They describe him as defiant and disrespectful, and say that he often talks back to them and refuses to follow their rules. Jordan is also exhibiting some challenging behavior, including back-talking and ignoring her parents when they ask her to do something. Jalen and Jade, while younger, also have their own issues. Jalen struggles with aggression and tantrums, while Jade tends to be very clingy to her parents.

Supernanny Jo Frost arrives at the Corry's home and quickly assesses the situation. She notes that the family has very little structure or routine, and that the parents are not consistent in their discipline. She also observes that the children are not given enough one-on-one attention from their parents, which is leading to some of the problematic behavior.

Jo starts by working with Jaden, who is the most challenging of the children. She teaches him some coping strategies for when he feels angry or frustrated, and works with the whole family to establish some clear rules and consequences. To help the parents give each child more individual attention, Jo introduces a "Mommy and Me" and "Daddy and Me" time, where each child gets to spend a few hours alone with one parent doing an activity they enjoy.

Jo also works with Jordan, helping her understand the importance of listening to her parents and following their rules. She introduces a reward chart, where Jordan can earn stickers for good behavior and completing tasks, which will then lead to a reward at the end of the week.

With Jalen, Jo uses a similar approach to what she did with Jaden, teaching him some coping mechanisms and helping him understand when it's appropriate to use physical aggression. She also introduces a "calm down corner" in the house, where Jalen can go when he needs to take a break and calm down.

Finally, Jo works with Jade and teaches her some independence skills, such as how to play by herself and how to do some basic chores. She also encourages Jen and Dan to have some alone time together, so they can recharge and be better parents for their children.

Throughout the episode, viewers see the Corry family slowly improve and become more united. The children start to behave better, and the parents become more consistent in their discipline. Jo helps the family establish clear routines and structures, which provides stability and security for the children. By the end of the episode, viewers see a happy and thriving family, with parents who are confident in their abilities to manage their children's behavior.
