This week Nanny Stella visits the Kramer family from Iowa. Mum Jessica and dad Ted have four children - three sons, aged five, four and two and a baby girl. However, these parents do not know how to discipline their motley crew.

And without any discipline, the kids run wild. They leave the house without telling anyone, the family’s last car was ruined because the boys scratched the outside and drew all over the inside and the youngest son constantly plays with the plug sockets. Bedtime is just as chaotic as the parents drive their children around town to get them to fall asleep!

Nanny Stella informs these parents that their lack of discipline is jeopardising their children’s safety. Once they realise Stella is right, mum and dad finally master the timeout technique. The children begin to settle down and they also learn to sleep in their own beds.
