Jo Frost: Extreme Parental Guidance

In series two, Jo wants to share her no-nonsense advice with more parents than ever before through her first ever roadshow. She’s ready to tackle all the most persistent parenting problems; she’s dealing with sore losers, fears and phobias, how to handle attention-seeking behaviour. And Jo takes a look at what she believes the single most important cause of parenting problems – families not spending enough time together.
