Jo Frost: Extreme Parental Guidance

In Woolwich, Jo visits six-year-old Paige, who has never slept a full night in her own bed: meaning that her mum hasn't had more than four hours uninterrupted sleep in over six years.

Working with the UK's leading expert in child sleep issues, Dr Cathy Hill, Jo wants to find out what effect having less sleep has on children. Jo also meets four year old Michael who rules the family roost. He has learnt to play his parents against each other and scream until he gets whatever he wants - but as he prepares to start school is it too late to instill discipline?
