An infant won't stop crying, a toddler plays with chemicals under the sink, a seven-year-old ignores a call to dinner, an eight-year-old refuses to clean her room -- these four scenarios are each shown twice. At first an angry parent loses control and the video stops for discussion. After discussion, the scenario is shown a second time but with positive parenting skills that change the outcome.
- A stressed-out single mother copes with a crying baby at night. Neither a bottle nor a pacifier stops the crying.
- A toddler plays on the kitchen floor. When dad leaves the room he pulls potentially dangerous cleaners from under the sink.
- Michael, a stubborn seven-year-old, rides his bike with friends. When his mother calls him for dinner he refuses.
- Dad is busy building shelves. Eight-year-old Heather would rather watch him work than clean her own room. How can dad "make" Heather clean her room?
Runtime: 30 minutes. Also available in Spanish - "Golpes y Gritos".
