02x08 - The Graham Family

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: 'They're every parent's worst nightmare.'

You're gonna be sorry.

GIRL SCREAMS

'Kids completely out of control...'

Give me the Kn*fe. CHILD SCREAMS

'..and taking over the household.'

I'm the boss!

'These families have reached the end of the road.'

How was I to know I was gonna have three kids in two years?

'They're in need of help.'

Shut up, everyone!

'They only have one alternative left.

'It's time to contact Nanny .'

PHONE RINGS

Hello, this is Nanny .

'We've gathered a team of world-class nannies

'from all over the globe. Each week, from Nanny Central,

'they will watch a video of a family in crisis...'

SHE SCREAMS

'..and decide which nanny is best suited to help.

'They will then have one week to take our families from living hell

'to a family bliss.'

- Give me my life back. - It's mine!

'Can these families be saved?'

I don't love you!

It's an emotional roller-coaster.

Unless you get this right, it's all gonna fall to pieces.

If you think you can do a better job, get on with it.

'Parents of America, help is on the way.'

ALL: Nanny's here!

Nanny's here!

'Tonight...' THEY SCREAM

'..Steve and Jeanine Graham have tuned out

'their four rambunctious boys.

'And when they're not fighting,

'they're playing violent video games.'

Playing video games is our babysitter.

'Mom sees no problem with her four little "Game Boys".'

I couldn't get through a grocery shopping trip without Game Boys.

'And Doctor Dad turns a blind eye to the v*olence.'

You know, it's just something they outgrow.

CHILDREN SCREAM, NANNY DEB GASPS

'Can Nanny Deb keep the Grahams from cracking?'

Games that they play are too aggressive for their age.

That is garbage.

Trevor! Trevor!

'It's Fight Club tonight, on Nanny .'

CHILD SCREAMS

Reece, put it down.

What are you mad at him for?

What are you doing?

My name is Jeanine Graham.

'I am .

'The family is a very traditional family. I stay home.'

Steve goes to work, I do all the mom things.

Just sit!

He does all the dad things.

You're done for tonight.

I'm Steve Graham, I'm years old. I'm an ER doctor.

CHILDREN SHOUT AND SQUEAL

Our home life can be crazier than an ER shift.

HE SCREAMS

It's just a different type of crazy.

HE SCREAMS

They like to b*at each other up.

We were... blessed with four boys.

Zachary is . He is from my previous marriage.

He's lazy, he'll sleep until noon.

He instigates things.

ALL SCREAM

I wouldn't hit with the sticks!

JEANINE: 'They have some pretty good tempers.

'Trevor and Reece are twins, they are five.'

The twins have been competitive since they were born.

Trevor wants to be the first to get upstairs for the bathroom,

Reece wants to be the first to turn the TV off for dinner.

They wanna be the first one in the car.

There's mindless competitiveness.

HE GROANS

JEANINE: 'One minute, the twins will be best friends.'

The next minute, they're worst enemies.

TREVOR SHOUTS Trevor, stop it.

They will fight about anything.

JEANINE: 'Max is six.'

He's wired for action.

Max!

JEANINE: 'When the twins play with each other, Max feels left out.

'He has said to me before,'

' "Why don't I have a twin? I want a twin."

'He's always trying to get our attention,

'and pull attention away from the twins.'

He will go without eating.

'It's been such a hard thing.'

HE SOBS

It's a challenge to raise four boys.

HE SOBS

We are so frustrated with the crying.

HE SOBS

Stop crying, Reece.

They do hurt each other.

- Uh! - 'They get up and they're fighting.

'They're fighting even before they come down the stairs.

'And they'll fight all day.'

We locked 'em in their rooms, just like keeping the dog in its pen.

THEY SCREAM

Reece gave Trevor a big black eye.

All three of the boys have had stitches.

THEY SHOUT

Max has gotten stitches on his chin.

I've stitched Reece on his lip.

Trevor's got staples on the back of his head.

My kids have ganged up on other kids in the neighbourhood.

THEY SHOUT

'You can only take so much of your kids screaming and fighting.'

No!

Everything is a battle.

Uh!

THEY SCREAM

I feel helpless. CHILDREN SCREAM

Stop it!

To get some peace, I hide in my closet.

'Three doors between me and reality.

'My alarm clock is kids screaming for me to get up.'

Every day can be a really bad day.

Stop it! That is enough.

'I have worried that, as they get older,

'the fighting is not gonna get any better

'and it's just gonna get worse.

'It just gets really sickening.' CHILD WAILS

This is a day in and day out thing and it's just my life.

HE WAILS

Jeanine's day can turn into... a complete nightmare.

She's brought to tears by their actions.

SHOUTING AND CRYING

Help!

SHE GASPS: No!

Stop it!

That is enough.

HE SHOUTS

So what do you think, ladies?

I know Dad's a doctor,

but there's no need for blood and guts at home.

If those boys keep up the v*olence,

one day they'll be visited by the other .

Well, it seems to me

that the real emergency room is in the home.

All good points indeed, girls.

I'm choosing Deborah for the Grahams.

Your ability to make rules and structured fun

should be just what the doctor ordered.

DEB: 'It has come to my attention

'that the Graham family have some problems.

'Mum, Jeanine, takes issue with all the v*olence in the house...'

THEY SCREAM

'..but does nothing about it.'

THEY SCREAM AND SHOUT

'While Doctor Dad sees no problems with the hitting whatsoever,

'and simply uses the living room as an emergency room.'

THEY SOB

CRYING

'It certainly sounds like a most trying week lies ahead.'

It's time to reconnect this disconnected family.

DOORBELL RINGS

- Hi. - Hi, I'm Nanny Deb.

- I'm Jeanine. Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, too.

Come in and meet my family.

Thank you.

Steve wasn't all excited

and looking forward to the nanny as much as I was.

- Hello, everybody. - Hi, I'm Steve.

- Hi, Steve. Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

First impression of Nanny was she was an authoritarian figure,

with a very odd cape and coat.

I'm here today to observe your family.

So I'm gonna settle in and get out my little notepad.

And try to think of me as invisible, boys. OK?

All right. So just carry on as normal,

and pretend I'm not here.

- OK. - All righty.

'As the day begins,

'Mum busies herself with household chores,

'while Dad catches up with some reading.

'And the kids?

'They settle in to play video games.'

STEVE: Nanny was taking some notes on the family

and I thought I'd need to give her another pen.

DEB: 'The house is eerily quiet.

'Even Philly, the family dog, is starved for some interaction.

'But when the kids do speak up,

'I notice another problem altogether.'

'There is no communication in this house whatsoever.'

'Did I hear that correctly?'

'Apparently, I did.

' "Choke, die, k*ll"?'

Dangers are off.

'I'm a bit concerned about

'what these games are teaching the children.'

No. No!

'And when Mum merely suggests doing something else...'

ALL: No!

'..the kids scream bloody m*rder.

'Straightaway, it's clear that this unhealthy game-playing must end.'

THEY SHOUT

I feel, the boys playing all these video games definitely enhances

the aggressive tendencies they already have.

STEVE: I don't necessarily think that their v*olence is

a direct result of video games.

THEY SHOUT Stop it!

They've hurt each other. They've been like that since they were born.

THEY SCREAM

It doesn't bother me that each of 'em has sustained some injury.

DEB: 'And when the boys aren't battling aliens,

'they're battling each other.'

HE SCREAMS

Trevor and Reece were having a huge fight in their room,

that started off as fun and ended up in tears.

HE SCREAMS

'Jeanine had heard the screaming start to escalate.'

What are you doing?

THEY SCREAM

I went up there and separated them.

Trevor, stop it.

'I took them downstairs and I was just trying to calm them down.'

Go sit in the chair.

DEB: 'And later in the day,

'it becomes clear that the only person in this house

'bothered by all the v*olence is yours truly.'

JEANINE: 'I gave 'em chocolate milk

'and put their cartoon on to settle them down.'

DEB: It's the worst possible thing you can do,

is to reward your children for negative behaviour.

'And as the day wears on, it becomes clear

'that while Mum is soft on the boys,

'the boys are hard on each other.'

We don't want Zach to feel burdened

to play with his younger brother. You shouldn't do that.

- Please! - No, Max.

Max always comes into my room

and always wants to know what I'm doing.

'Just so he can play with me

'and do things with me that are way older than him.'

Zach thinks I'm a little kid,

but I'm not. I'm a big kid.

How old are you, Max?

DEB: 'Max is sort of like the middle child that feels left out.

'Also, Max is incredibly bright.

'And I feel as though he hasn't found his niche, in a way.'

I think he has some needs that might need to be met.

' "Keep out, Trevor and Reece, but Zach can come in."

'Max looks up to his big brother so much,

'it saddens me to see him left out.

'And to make matters worse,

'when all the brothers finally do get together to play,

'it's just more video games.

'These children go from video games to television,

'to hand-held games, back to video games again.

'All day long, it's like a babysitter.'

These children are plugged in.

They could sit there for two hours and give me two hours of peace.

I don't know where they are!

I still don't know where they are!

MAX SOBS LOUDLY

Max, it's a game. Calm down.

I never see anyone!

'The kids are so emotionally attached to their games

'and so detached from reality, it's astounding.'

Hey, Philly, I can't see!

I can't see my g*n!

I can't see!

JEANINE: Be nice. Reece, uh-uh...

I saw one of the boys grab the dog's tail.

THEY LAUGH

'And this just leads to them lashing out.

'Being rough with each other is one thing,

'but b*ating the dog is another.

'And what do Mum and Dad do about it?

'Absolutely nothing.

'It's definitely time to sit these parents down.'

Can I have a couple of minutes of your time

while it's relatively quiet,

so I can go over what I've seen so far today?

- Sure. - OK, great.

The biggest problem area that I see, actually, to be honest,

is there's a lot of fighting.

There's a lot of aggressive behaviour,

especially the two little ones.

You know, part of that obviously is the testosterone-filled thing,

but they also need an outlet.

STEVE: 'That's insane. Boys will be boys.'

If you don't believe that then you're on cr*ck.

And that leads into the other problem that I see, which is

they spend way too much time, in my opinion,

in front of the television and the video games.

When they're sitting there for two or three hours at a time,

especially the little ones playing games

that are too advanced for them.

They need a lot more stimulation from other outlets.

They need to spend more time outside,

they need to spend more time being active.

They need to spend more time doing things that are creative,

that'll give them another outlet.

I don't have eight hours a day

to sit and do arts and crafts projects and, you know,

ride bikes to the park with them and stuff.

I think it's great and I think we should do more of it, but...

The children don't have any rules in the house,

as far as video games and things like that go.

They're getting frustrated, the frustration leads to aggression,

and then they get violent.

That's when they get into trouble.

JEANINE: 'It makes me feel very bad.'

It makes me feel like

I'm not doing a good job as a mother.

STEVE: I absolutely

do not believe that video games... cause problems.

I also want to see

a lot more discussion when they do start to get aggressive.

JEANINE: No matter what I've done, I can't stop them

from being boys and hitting each other and being violent.

That's my main issue.

I just tell 'em, "You're bleeding, that's fine.

"You gotta get on with the day."

What I'm gonna do is, I'm gonna go away

and I'm gonna start writing out

the rules I think will work best for this family. OK?

- Yep. - Absolutely.

- All right. I'll see you later. - Thank you.

STEVE: 'I don't know.'

We'll see if I'm open to Nanny's suggestions.

DEB: 'After a day of observation,

'the problem in the Graham household is clear.

'All these children do is play video games.

'So today, I'm giving the family their own set of rules.'

Hello!

- Hello. - Hello.

It's time for me to present your family rules.

These are the new rules.

Rule number one,

"No more hitting."

That includes hitting the dog.

No more hitting each other.

Yeah, no hitting. Right (!)

Good luck!

Rule number two, you're going to start doing chores.

SHE CLICKS TEETH Yeah, buster.

JEANINE: I don't know if that's gonna be possible,

but I think that would be great.

There's a lot of things you guys can do to help Mum.

You guys need to start making your bed,

help unload the dishwasher with things that aren't sharp.

'I agree with her that they need to do chores.'

Can you show Steve how to do some chores, too?

'He doesn't load the dishwasher and do the laundry.'

Somebody has to earn the money.

Zachary, you're more than old enough to wield a vacuum cleaner.

I personally could care less if one of 'em pushes a vacuum.

Another rule is, "Television and video games

"are privileges you earn."

STEVE: 'A privilege?'

A privilege, to me, is a trip to Europe.

As of right now, there are no more television

or video games in this house.

None. It's not going on until you earn it.

Most of the rules were insane.

If you do all of your chores,

then you will earn the right and the privilege

to watch television or play video games.

However, I am going to put a limit

on the time you are allowed to play video games.

Because it's not healthy.

An hour a day is more than enough...

..per day.

I think an hour is unreasonable.

So what do you think?

One hour a day is gonna be hard,

- for the video games. - Mm-hm.

I'm not sure it's gonna fly with the boys.

DEB: 'This is my first opportunity to work with the Grahams.

'And since these kids sit on their bums all day long...'

Come on then, Philly. Are you gonna help make the bed?

'..everyone will help with the chores.'

Oh, look at this!

- Who wants to start first? - Me, me!

You, you, you? All right, jump off.

'The chore list for this family

'has some very basic chores that will really help Mum.'

You have to climb on the bed

and flatten this part out.

It'll get these children motivated.

Tuck, tuck, tuck, all the way down.

There you go. Excellent.

'Children need to learn the work ethic.'

They need to learn to work well together.

Excellent work.

Yay! All right, let's go and see Max.

'And then, we went into Max's room and he'd already started.'

Oh, my goodness! Max, you started without us.

'Max is a bit of a perfectionist,

'so he was really smoothing out his covers.'

'Steve and Jeanine were very impressed by that.'

Wow, look at Max!

See what'll happen when you're that old?

'It's great to see the kids following the rules

'and helping around the house.

'But when it comes to playtime,

'rather than fighting or video games,

'I'm going to teach them teamwork outside.'

Today, there's no more sitting around

in front of the TV all day.

Today, we're finding things to do.

To get our bodies working, and keep us active and healthy,

and have fun.

And one of the best ways to do that...

..is the real game of football!

THEY LAUGH DEB: I think the children,

once they get used to doing other activities,

will start to really enjoy them,

and won't miss the video games as much.

Oh! Almost.

- Pass it! - Come on, come on!

Get it, get it, get it!

- Come on! - Get it, get it in!

SHE CHEERS

Yes!

'And even though they could see that the kids were having a great time,

'Mum and Dad looked on with scepticism.'

Not every free minute we have can we devote to

constructive interaction with our kids.

You know, I need to pay bills.

Go, Trev. Kick it to Max. Pass it.

JEANINE: 'If I actually did try to make them do other things

'besides watch TV and play video games...'

Pass it! Pass it, Reece!

..it would take away from

my time of getting stuff done in the house.

Yes! Come on!

DEB: 'It's great to see most of the kids playing well together outside.

'But it's becoming increasingly apparent

'that wedged between older Zach and the younger twins,

'Max is left all by himself.'

One of the things I noticed straightaway

was that Max really stood out.

He feels like he's not really young enough to be part of

the little boys' lives, and Zach doesn't really have him

in his life because he is only six.

Max is sort of like the middle child that feels kind of left out.

'And later in the day, it becomes clear

'just how left out Max really feels.'

It's his Game Boy. Go get your own.

Max feels left out cos he is not part of the game,

or whatever the twins are doing.

Why are you such a sourpuss today?

'And the more Max cries out for attention,

'the more Jeanine ignores him.'

Max, go sit in your room if you're gonna cry all day.

'Since Max's own mother refuses to get to the heart of his problems,

'I'll have to do it myself.'

You know what? Zachary, I think, as he's gotten older,

has learned... he's found other things he likes to do.

He likes to build those models and things.

Have you thought about doing stuff like that?

At this point, Max burst out crying.

Aw, honey!

I'm sorry you're upset.

Oh, Max, come here. What are you really upset about?

Are you really upset about the models,

or about something else?

Aw! Honey.

'Max wants to be .'

Max wants to be able to do the things that Zachary can do

because Max wants to hang out with Zachary.

JEANINE: She got on her knees and talked to him

and said, "I think you're feeling angry."

'And I was impressed because I thought it worked a lot better

'than what we usually do.'

I think Nanny was a little bit oversensitive

for how I would've handled the issue.

DEB: 'Now that I know why Max is so upset,

'I'm asking Jeanine to sit down with him and really listen,

'to allow him the chance to communicate his feelings.'

Go and play or something, and see if you can have the time

just to check in with him and talk about, you know,

where he's coming from.

I didn't even realise how much of a problem it was

until the nanny came.

Max.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

DEB: I wanted Jeanine to go and have a little talk with Max,

so they could work things out.

And I know that you're really smart,

and Daddy and I know you wanna try to do things

that are for older kids.

'I never really talked to Max about how he's feeling.'

Zach is . He's a lot older than you.

When he was six, he didn't do those things that you wanna try to do.

- But we can try to do 'em. - OK.

And we will try to do 'em.

I know you need to try to do...

- Challenge. - ..challenging things.

- OK? - Yes.

So you wanna go and talk to Zachary about doing a model...

- Yeah. - ..and see if it's something

that you can do?

- Yes. - OK.

I liked talking to my mom today.

DEB: 'It's great to see Mom and the kids begin to function

'as a healthy family should.

'However, when Steve returns home...'

What's up, guys?

'..all of our hard work is quickly forgotten.

'The kids are straight back on their video games

'because it makes life easier for Dad.

'Unfortunately, Mom just seems to go right along with it.'

I work anywhere from to -some hours a week.

Believe me, by the end of the day, you just wanna put your feet up

and have a little moment of peace.

'TV is our baby-sitter.'

DEB: 'I've given them the new rules,

'and yet, the video games continue for hours on end.'

HE SCREAMS

'What will it take to get through to these people?'

All right! I got a sn*per.

DEB: Every time I turn around,

they're letting the children play the video games.

Reece, I got a sn*per dude.

'Video games should not be a babysitter for your children.'

STEVE: I don't agree that Nanny's one-hour rule

of video games is realistic.

You can't just put a time on how long should your child

be in front of an object.

They could sit there for two hours and give me two hours of peace.

I mean, I can admit that that's wrong.

I shouldn't let them do that for hours and hours a day.

HE YELLS

Come on, Reece.

Max!

DEB: When they put those video games down,

they immediately get into acts of aggression with each other.

'Both Steve and Jeanine aren't taking my advice seriously,

'and if this attitude carries on,

'they'll be putting their kids in danger.'

I am?

Come and get a Band-Aid, Trev.

STEVE: 'I don't get fazed too much by the loudness or the fighting.'

There's limits I'm gonna tolerate.

I really don't wanna see my kid raise a bat to his brother,

I don't wanna see him push him down the stairs.

TREVOR SQUEALS Trevor! Trevor, calm down!

Whoa! What happened?

HE SOBS

What happened?

Reece pushed Zach down the stairs.

Why'd you push him?

They started fighting about something.

It was really play fighting, and then it turned into real fighting.

Reece pushed Zach all the way down the stairs.

- Are you all right? - Yeah.

Reece pushed Zach down the stairs.

Zach got pushed down the stairs?

STEVE: What are you doing? Why did you do that?

Don't push, all right?

What happened to your eye?

DEB: 'Both Steve and Jeanine

'have been very relaxed during this process.'

They were letting things go too much.

'Steve and Jeanine aren't taking my advice seriously.

'And if this attitude carries on,

'they'll be putting their kids in danger.

'And the very next day, Steve and Jeanine show me

'just how determined they are to disregard my advice,

'by letting the boys play video games again,

'so that they can ignore them,

'rather than participate in their lives.'

JEANINE: I'm so sick of it and frustrated

that it is easier just to let them play video games and watch TV

than it is to deal with it.

DEB: 'And sure enough,

'with Steve and Jeanine puttering around the kitchen,

'the boys get so worked up over the video games

'that they begin fighting... again.'

THEY SHOUT

Trevor and Reece, come and eat.

Your cereal has milk in it already. Come on.

Max is fighting me.

Just ignore him and come and eat because this is gonna get all soggy.

Steve and Jeanine seem to be very relaxed about the rules.

JEANINE: Nanny Deb has not been in my shoes.

She has not been a stay-at-home mother.

She has not done what I have to do.

DEB: 'I decided to sit them down again,

'to try one more time to get my point across.'

Can I borrow you for a minute at the table?

I wanna go over some stuff I've seen.

Sit down, let's have a chat.

You're either onboard or you're not, there is no halfway.

'Because my plan only works if you reinforce it.

If you don't reinforce it,

this plan is gonna fail. And I am not here to see that fail.

My biggest thing with the video-game playing

was the amount of it and the quality of it.

Because it was being used as a baby-sitter.

Oh, absolutely, but sometimes I have to do that.

DEB: I feel as though I've talked

the hour of video games to death with these parents,

and they're just letting it go.

That kind of thing has got to stop.

I don't know how I would get half of the things I need to do done.

I mean, I couldn't get through a grocery shopping trip

without Game Boys, and I don't plan to in the future.

Who's putting more effort in parenting,

a stay-at-home mom,

or somebody who has so much money they hire you to do their mothering?

DEB: 'Steve and Jeanine both argued with me

'that they felt an hour wasn't enough.

And I had to tell them,

is it that an hour isn't enough for them?

Or it isn't enough for you?

The break thing, I don't have a problem with.

The six hours, I have a big problem with.

- There's no six hours. - Six probably a bit exaggerated.

No, it was six hours.

I can guarantee you that my kids do not play video games

for six hours a day.

STEVE: 'You can't just put a minute time

'on how long should your child be in front of an object.'

You have to look at what it's doing to their life.

HE YELLS

I don't believe it's necessary or important

that children play a lot of video games.

- No. - I don't believe it's important.

- I don't believe it's necessary. - We don't put importance on it.

But they are.

- What? - Just turn it off, then.

No! No!

When the kids are freaking out,

it's become too important.

DEB: 'I felt at times as though I was bashing my head against a wall.'

They're not letting me even try, they're not letting me do this.

They're not playing Sin City,

they're not doing any, you know, bloody, gory, violent...

When I watch the way these boys play the video games,

I see their adrenaline,

I see their aggressive tendencies start coming out.

When they're playing, they are, like, intense,

and their teeth grind at the frustration. The anger.

STEVE: Neither of us like people

mindlessly interjecting themselves, especially'

over stupid things like that.

You don't get it.

I don't like to hear four-year-olds

sitting on the couch and going, "Yeah, die, die, die, I k*lled him."

Then, five minutes later, jumping off the couch,

picking up a couple of bats

and walking around, going, "Now I'm gonna k*ll you."

JEANINE: 'I knew I was gonna lose it and cry.'

I just didn't want to deal with the conflict.

'There's enough fighting and conflict in my house.'

I don't wanna see these kids go to school

and be acting so aggressively to other kids...

- What? - ..that I don't know what we'll do.

My famous quote is,

"Every family is dysfunctional, it's just a matter of degrees."

DEB: 'Steve and Jeanine really feel like the one hour

'isn't enough for their family.'

But they haven't tried it yet.

If you have an opportunity to do better by your children,

why wouldn't you want to do better by your children?

Because I am here to make it better for your children,

and you're fighting me by saying an hour isn't enough.

Is this hour for them or is it for you?

JEANINE: 'It was like a light bulb went off in my head.'

It's not easy to hear, but she was right.

I'm here and I'm asking you, are you willing to change?

STEVE: It made me really realise that,

in some instances, I've treated them correctly,

and in some instances, there's room for improvement.

It's gonna take time. It is.

And it's not an overnight fix.

But I believe this is better for the kids.

And what's better for the kids will end up being better for you,

even if it's more work right now.

JEANINE: As hard as it was,

I really did wanna learn from her.

I really did want to hear what she had to say.

When they say, "I wanna play a video game",

are you at least willing to try and make another suggestion,

to try and back up the plan that we've set here,

and to make this work?

I'm willing to give it a sh*t.

I'm willing to try.

DEB: 'Video games should not be a babysitter for your children.

'I think that now, Steve and Jeanine see where I'm coming from.

'And, to my utter delight,

'the very next morning, Mum did something to prove it.'

I think we're gonna be done playing video games for a while.

- No! - Yes!

You've been playing video games all day, so far.

Let's do something else. Come on.

No.

Yeah, you're not gonna just sit down here...

No! No!

Come on, let's go.

Come on. Play hockey or do something else.

Go outside, if you wanna go outside.

They might throw fits and cry and whatever,

but I am somebody that can hold firm on something like that.

If I say there's not gonna be any TV or video games,

I'm not gonna give in.

You know, why don't you play with him? Play hockey with him.

I think it's a great idea

and I should've been doing it for a long time.

DEB: 'And from then on, over the next few days,

'the Grahams started acting like a real family,

'instead of a virtual one.'

- There you go, Trev. - You need another push?

'With both parents onboard,

'the boys are finally acting like brothers,

'laughing and playing outside with the family.

'The fighting has gone away, and the family is back on track.

'And the video games are no longer the focus of their lives.'

THEY LAUGH

'In turn, the v*olence is becoming a thing of the past.'

THEY LAUGH

Yay, good blocking!

'With the Grahams now spending time together as a family,

'they're definitely on track.'

That's it!

'But there's just one more thing I need to see before I leave.

'Max and his big brother playing together, as brothers should.'

We are gonna try to do older kid things,

like, you know, how he wants to do your models,

instead of doing...

So is that something that you would

- help him do? - Oh, yeah.

Use these and watch. OK?

If Zach gets stuck, you'll help him,

and if you get stuck, he'll help you. How about that?

- Yeah. - OK?

- All right, you guys... - It's like a brother chess.

Brother chess?

'With Zach now taking Max under his wing,

'every one of the Grahams is finally happy.

'And all that's left to do is say goodbye.'

- Hello. - How is everybody today?

Good. How are you?

It's my least favourite day today, cos it's the end of the week

and it's time for me to say goodbye and go and help another family.

JEANINE: 'I'm sad to see Nanny leave.'

I think we could use another week of her wisdom.

I know it's been rough.

I know I came in and I set really strict rules about the video games,

and it was hard,

and I have to say that I am very, very proud of you guys.

STEVE: The more I'm around the nanny,

the more I realise it's per cent genuine.

She is here to help you solve some problems.

Mum and Dad have done a really good job this week

of trying to make the changes happen.

JEANINE: I think it was a positive outcome.

The nanny showed us how much TV and video games they were watching,

and we became more aware of how much of a problem it was becoming.

And you guys have been really great.

Thank you so much for having me in your home.

It's been a really great week.

STEVE: I've always wanted to help my child

act a certain way, or get rid of a certain behaviour.

'And now, I see a way to do it.'

If I had one thing to say to Nanny,

it would be two words, "Thank you."

Before I go, I wanted to give you a little something

to help with your family time together.

Badminton!

You can play croquet and you can play bocce ball.

You've got all kinds of things to keep you guys busy.

And you can have family game time.

- Thanks! - Thank you.

You're welcome. And this is more for Mum and Dad.

Cos every family sometimes needs a little reminder,

and this might help keep you guys on track a little bit.

It's been a lot of fun. These children are fun.

'They have great personalities.

'Steve and Jeanine have been very welcoming.'

- Thank you. - You take care of yourself.

'So I think it's been a week of trials and tribulations.

'I think it's been a successful one in the end.'

Thank you for everything, guys. Keep up the good work.

- I'll see you again. - See you soon.

- Bye! - 'In some ways,

'this has been a difficult week because I've felt, at times,

'as though I was bashing my head against a wall.

'But I have great hopes that this family

'will continue with the rules once I'm gone.

'I think they may have struggles here and there,

'but I think that they definitely are very well intentioned,

'and I do believe they're gonna do the best possible job they can

'to keep the rules in place.'
