''Sorry Jess but you can't have them. How about you try some fish finger.'' Lucas tried to reason with her.

''I want one.'' Jessica says from her seat.

Lucas looked at the plate to see if she touched anything.''Sorry Jess but you only get a sticker if you eat all of it or if you try some of it.''

Jessica threw her plate to the floor. ''I don't like it.''

Brooke came back after puttingKai down for a nap. ''Thats ok don't eat it, you will just have to wait to dinner then.''

At dinner time Jessica would not eat even after her brothers got another sticker. Brooke and Lucas stayed strong and redused to give her grilled cheese sandwhiches.

Tyler nodded his head ''Its all right.''

''Do you know why your all here.'' She asked the 7 year old

''Yeah its coz Jess doesn't eat and that makes my mum and dad upset. The twins don't sleep and that means mum and dad don't and that makes them really tried and coz I hit and swear at them.'' The young boy answered.

''Why do you hit them.'' Tanya asked hoping to get the boys reason and view as to why he does what he does.

Tyler looked down and answered. '' I hit them coz they get all of my mum and dads attention and if I hit them then mum and dad have to shout at me. And I swear coz I just get angry at my mum and dad.

Tanya looked at Tyler and answered him '' How about we change all that and if you promise to stop hitting and swearing you will be able to get your mum and dad's attention okay.''

Tyler just nodded. Him and Tanya left the room.

At the end of the clip Brooke and Lucas were upset and shocked by the words that came out of their son's mouth. ''As you have just seen Tyler knows what he is doing is wrong. He says he is doing it because he just wants your attention.'' Tanya informed them.

Brooke nodded her head '' Okay so what do we do then so he won't do it for our attention.''

''Just praise him when he does something good. I am going to come out and talk with the children too. We are going to do reward charts.'' Tanya told them. ''This next clip is Tyler behaviour yesterday.''

She went over and took Tylers hand and led him into the bedroom.'' Okay Ty you pushed Matthew and now you will be in here for 7 mintues.'' Brooke told her son.

When Brooke left the room Tyler sat on the bed looking at the door. When the 7 mintues was up Brooke went into the room and knelt in front of Tyler so she was his level. ''Ty you know your not allowed to hit or push your brothers or sister, now you were in here because you pushed Matthew. I want an apolgy.''

''I'm sorry.'' Tyler told her and then gave her a hug and kiss. When they got back out to the living area Lucas was in the kitchen doing dinner.

Tyler nodded ''Yes''

''Now Tyler won't get a reward because of going to timeout. Jessica did you go to timeout yesterday.'' Tanya then asked Jessica. ''No I wasn't.'' Jessica answered her. Tanya went over to the chest and ''Come over here Jessica I want you to pick a prize.'' Jessica went over and picked a baby doll. ''Now Matthew were you in timeout.'' She asked the 3 year old. ''No I good Boy.'' He told her. She called him over and he picked a racing car. ''Okay Jay what about you were you in timeout.'' She asked the other twin. ''No I good boy too.''

Jessica looked at the fries and picked one of them up and put it to her mouth. Lucas and Brooke watched to see if she would eat it and she did. She ended up eating all her fries, but she didn't touch her sausages or beans. Lucas gave her a kiss and she got a sticker and got to move one place on her chart.

Bedtime came quicker than any of them had imagined. Lucas bathed Kai and the twins and put them to bed. Kai went to sleep without a problem like everynight. The twins were put to bed and then after 5 mintues of Lucas leaving the room the got up and left the room only to run into Lucas ''Bedtime boys.'' Lucas told them as he put them into bed. They were asleep within 10 mintues and Lucas only had to return them to bed 3 times.
