The House of Tiny Tearaways
Family Seven: Behaviour
Ìý
Sara (32), Darren (31), Harrison (five years
and three months) from Plymouth
Ìý
Harrison is very badly-behaved – he will shout, scream,
slap, hit and kick if he doesn't get his own way.
Ìý
Harrison has recently started swearing and using rude
words. He is violent towards his parents and his 11-year-old sister
Kiera (who is not in attendance in the house.)
Ìý
Harrison has only had three full nights' sleep since
he was born. He usually doesn't go to bed until 11.30pm and will only
fall asleep on the sofa on Darren, before getting into his parents'
bed. He never sleeps in his own bed.
Ìý
Harrison finds school very difficult – he doesn't have
many friends and is isolated.
Ìý
His staple diet consists of bread and butter, five packets
of chocolate buttons, a pint of milk and a fruit drink every day. He
usually refuses to eat anything else.
Ìý
Parents Darren and Sara admit they 'no longer enjoy
Harrison' and Sara 'dreads the moment he comes back from school.'
Ìý
Mum Sara has a very negative attitude towards him. Sara
is a housewife and comes from a large family and Darren is a builder
who was adopted and grew up in a small, close-knit family.
Ìý
They are hoping to improve Harrison's behaviour so they
can have a happier and more relaxed family life.
