Inmy (LH) experience as well, working with parents before I had children was a very different
experience than after I became a parent myself. I recall a particular young mother with two
children, the older a 6-year-old who was completely unmanageable. Indeed,mother and son had
patterns of interaction that resemble those on reality TV shows like Nanny 911 and SuperNanny.
Also, the boy had been setting fires in the home while the family slept.
