1/4-Emma and Teegan

Baby psychic Derek Ogilvie says he can fix the most badly behaved children by reading their minds. His bold claim is to be put to the test by terrible toddler, Teegan, whose continuous screaming, violent behaviour and sleepless nights have made her single mum Emma's life a living hell. Can Derek fulfil his promise and psychically transform Teegan into a little angel in just two weeks?

mmm, i understand

This is

I have seen this guy on TV before

poor family though, I have never heard of caffine tablets

nice to see you back RT.

and weird.

Is this for real?

i am finding this quite distrubing

What is he doing? Our tv has Spain vs Tunisia on......

through a child who he say he can read her mond he has determind that the childs mother had been raped when 16

Eh?! I thought he would be a version of the baby whisperer, not that trickery!! Still, channel five does parenting - what did we expect?!!

mmmm he seems to read the child mind in order to help with behavior problems. I am slight dubious

Hmmm
"She wants natural foods"

No she needs natural foods.

This is very odd

Thanks Aero

I just hope that whatever he says to her that she ends up being happier at the end

very at this.

i have found this strange and potential dangerous. if this is for real he could do mor harm the good.

I thought that too - very at they way he just brought up the girls rape. I guess it makes good TV. Don't think I will watch it again.

wow that was weird. they did seem a lot happeier at the end though

mind you i have also with it done with horses. someone could mind melt with horses. Just as dubious as i am with all mindreaders.

Do you need to be a mind reader to know that toddlers need natural food, like bouncing on beds and trampolines and love dressing up? oh, and prefer happy, calm parents?

This was just disturbing. Especially the bit where she didnt know what to do with a carrot!

Send Supernanny in there!

It was the constant swearing and anger that struck me. She always seemed on edge. Like when the little girl peed on the floor, why then watch her go in twice and slip on it?

I thought this was a really irresponsible programme. Why make out that struggling teenage parents need mind-readers to sort themselves out? It was so clear that all Emma and Teegan needed was a fresh, calm start and lots of cuddles. Besides rape etc., everything else he said was just plain common sense and plainly obvious without reading the child's mind:
She's hyper and won't sleep - give her less sugar
She lives on the 11th floor with no garden - get her a trampoline to burn some energy
Mother looks stressed and knackered, needs a break - get the grandmother involved a bit more.
I felt so sorry for these two children and it's just awful that girls like Emma appear just to be packed off at 16 to raise a child without apparently getting any support at all. Their problem was actually so easily fixed, and could have been fixed by any number of mothers on this site. Yet she so nearly had a breakdown/gave Teegan up etc. This story had a happy ending, but it still left me feeling rather sad.
