- 00:05:06using homophobic derogatory slur it's
- 00:05:10offensive it's morally not right so is
- 00:05:13that quite typical then of Hunter to be
- 00:05:15abusive with his words yeah very abusive
- 00:05:19with his words all the time I can see
- 00:05:21that emotionally it's very upsetting for
- 00:05:25you I want people to like them and I
- 00:05:29don't want my child to be the one that
- 00:05:30nobody wants
- 00:05:31around which is what we've got right now
- 00:05:34and people talk about it they do where
- 00:05:38do you think he gets that ugly mouth
- 00:05:40from I don't know he's his own person
- 00:05:43mom's acting all mystified about the
- 00:05:46language that the kids are using but you
- 00:05:48know it's not rocket science to work out
- 00:05:50where these kids are learning that
- 00:05:51language
- 00:05:53from with the boys back inside it was
- 00:05:55time for River homework oh rivers and
- 00:05:59homework work that is a very long drawn
- 00:06:03out process every day we're going to go
- 00:06:06over his spelling words so we're not up
- 00:06:09until midnight tonight River started to
- 00:06:11get the books out and then before we
- 00:06:13knew it we were into a spelling test
- 00:06:16gigantic g r g a n t r c I saw that
- 00:06:20Rivers was relying on dad to give him
- 00:06:22the answers he's not going to learn
- 00:06:24anything this way a no s t o m h c h
- 00:06:30again so dad started to lose patience oh
- 00:06:35ho ho ho ho put a mark you don't know
- 00:06:37that one let's get through this quickly
- 00:06:39a s p i r e r no you don't know that one
- 00:06:43spell Boston b o s t a r d no h get out
- 00:06:48of here and then Hunter came in and then
- 00:06:50hunter wanted a full-blown conversation
- 00:06:53we're studying put that stick down no b
- 00:06:56o s t o n I was just thinking how is
- 00:06:59this really helping Rivers all right you
- 00:07:02know which ones you miss all right those
- 00:07:04five you miss aren't you go in there and
- 00:07:06write them out two times
- 00:07:08each I think that his parents have made
- 00:07:10him feel like a nuisance like a
- 00:07:12burden there is no patience there's no
- 00:07:14tolerance and then it leads to him
- 00:07:16feeling so incompetent about doing any
- 00:07:19of his homework the problem is here at
- 00:07:21this table so you think that the problem
- 00:07:23lies with rivers yes
- 00:07:29[Applause]
- 00:07:31[Music]
- 00:07:33the boys can be very aggressive and
- 00:07:34mischievous especially Hunter Hunter I
- 00:07:38really wanted to find out if Hunter
- 00:07:40understood the impact on his family when
- 00:07:43he misbehaves and so I decided to have a
- 00:07:46conversation with him we have such an
- 00:07:48aggressive family right who do you
- 00:07:51think's more aggressive my daddy your
- 00:07:53dad sometimes he's just
- 00:07:56unhappy because my mama was unhappy with
- 00:08:02him my mom says to my daddy get out my
- 00:08:05life and stuff like that right okay so
- 00:08:09basically mommy and daddy have the
- 00:08:10arguments and stuff like that it usually
- 00:08:12happens at night around 11: now stuff
- 00:08:16like that and then how does that make
- 00:08:18you feel makes me feel like you're about
- 00:08:20to
- 00:08:22divorce and have you ever heard your
- 00:08:25parents mention that word before
- 00:08:28divorce this was quite surprising to
- 00:08:30hear this from Hunter because I hadn't
- 00:08:32seen Mom and Dad in a place where I
- 00:08:34thought it was that bad something smells
- 00:08:37good sometimes Parents try too hard to
- 00:08:40cover up the little flaws that are
- 00:08:42happening there and then but you know
- 00:08:44that there's got to be something going
- 00:08:45on otherwise you wouldn't be there

- 00:09:07she's going to tell Greg and I it's not
- 00:09:09the kids it's Greg and I that are
- 00:09:12causing these issues that's in our
- 00:09:15home well it's been an interesting
- 00:09:17observation day to say the least but at
- 00:09:19the end of the day I'm able to read
- 00:09:21between the lines that's my job so we
- 00:09:24get to have a family meeting I hope
- 00:09:25they're ready for it
- 00:09:29[Music]
- 00:09:36so let's talk about discipline there
- 00:09:38isn't really a discipline in this house
- 00:09:41you talk a good talk but there is no
- 00:09:43following through there is no warning
- 00:09:45there is no this is what we expect from
- 00:09:47you you're right the boys don't know
- 00:09:49what their consequences are and
- 00:09:51everybody has to learn that there are
- 00:09:53consequences whether they're good or bad
- 00:09:54for whatever action you take and it's
- 00:09:56about teaching these kids to not be
- 00:09:58impulsive but to listen
- 00:09:59take Direction and do as they're
- 00:10:02told okay so let's talk about homework
- 00:10:05Rivers he's very very nervous when he
- 00:10:09does his homework most definitely the
- 00:10:11longer we sit here the more frustrated
- 00:10:13we get the more nervous Rivers gets it's
- 00:10:16creating this hostility between you all
- 00:10:19and you're making the situation
- 00:10:21worse I think that there's a good happy
- 00:10:24medium in being able to find more
- 00:10:26Independence in doing the subjects he
- 00:10:28can do and the ones that he is going to
- 00:10:30need more help with and pacing that
- 00:10:33homework so that you're not forever
- 00:10:35spending three or four hours a night
- 00:10:37doing that are we ready to make a change
- 00:10:39for
- 00:10:40that okay so let's knuckle down and talk
- 00:10:42about the Boys to Men stuff I've listen
- 00:10:45to you talk about them needing to be
- 00:10:47mentally strong and be tough and be able
- 00:10:50to pack a punch but where does it leave
- 00:10:52room for the three of you to be more
- 00:10:56emotionally
- 00:10:57connected it's not unmanly for them to
- 00:11:01be in in tap with their emotions it's
- 00:11:06very important because it allows them to
- 00:11:08have smart intelligent conversations
- 00:11:10that can lead to resolution rather than
- 00:11:13using their
- 00:11:14fists I'm wasn't happy in the slightest
- 00:11:18to hear Hunter's mouth he thinks it's
- 00:11:21okay to go around calling people a no
- 00:11:26that's not okay he claims daddy says it
- 00:11:32you lead by
- 00:11:34example and what role model are you
- 00:11:37being it's not okay it's got to change
- 00:11:41it's got to
- 00:11:43change you've kept quiet but your mouth
- 00:11:45said a
- 00:11:49lot look at this you've got a wife who's
- 00:11:52almost too scared to speak at the table
- 00:11:54in case it causes
- 00:11:56conflict it's hard to point flaws out
- 00:12:00because you know it's going to Resort in
- 00:12:03an argument sooner or
- 00:12:05later saying that I do want to talk
- 00:12:08about communication because
- 00:12:10communication between the pair of you is
- 00:12:13hot when it shouldn't be Hunter has told
- 00:12:16me that this is what's gone

- 00:18:00she wants to talk to you I don't want to
- 00:18:04talk listen I feel like a lot of these
- 00:18:08situations you are the one taking them
- 00:18:11out of context Hunter felt comfortable
- 00:18:13enough to go to Joe and air out his
- 00:18:16problems that's his he you wait a minute
- 00:18:19let's finish that he didn't just go and
- 00:18:22say that
- 00:18:23she she got that out look look what
- 00:18:26you're doing watching both parents talk
- 00:18:28to one another mother is no healthy
- 00:18:30situation they talk over each other not
- 00:18:32listening to the other person and it's a
- 00:18:34shambles Time Out Hold on time out time
- 00:18:39out okay hold on let me just get
- 00:18:41something out my bag hold on a minute
- 00:18:42time so I brought in a timer to let this
- 00:18:44family know that every time it turns
- 00:18:47that they have 2 minutes to talk and the
- 00:18:48other person has to be disciplined
- 00:18:50enough to listen to what they have to
- 00:18:52say the pair of you you start to talk
- 00:18:55then you talk over you start to talk and
- 00:18:58you talk over
- 00:18:59nobody's
- 00:19:01listening you talk when this water runs
- 00:19:04out then you start okay listen to what
- 00:19:07the other person's
- 00:19:09saying hear it and then
- 00:19:13respond Joe was a safe place for Hunter
- 00:19:16to go to and I think you feel like I
- 00:19:18knew all about that it was as big a
- 00:19:21surprise to me as it was to you so a lot
- 00:19:23of things you're taken out of context
- 00:19:27and then you're getting offended
- 00:19:29at me and upset with me because you
- 00:19:31think I'm throwing you under the bus
- 00:19:33you're very well aware of the problems
- 00:19:34around here just as I am just as the two
- 00:19:37boys
- 00:19:38are so nothing should be a
- 00:19:45surprise the only point I'm trying to
- 00:19:47make is I'm not shocked by what you're
- 00:19:49saying I just I don't like the way that
- 00:19:52we went about it I'm not saying that
- 00:19:54Hunter's creating things I I do he's
- 00:19:57obviously heard the word because he's
- 00:19:58said that his mama said it and you know
- 00:20:02if that word is being thrown around then
- 00:20:05you know let's do something about it we
- 00:20:09say a lot of words and anger that we
- 00:20:11shouldn't say and not meaning it so that
- 00:20:15that's a fault and that's something we
- 00:20:16need help with and I recognize that
- 00:20:18that's an area that we need tremendous
- 00:20:20help
- 00:20:21in I think the timer worked well as they
- 00:20:24started to recognize it was important to
- 00:20:26listen to one another it she brought
- 00:20:29their tempers down so I think it's a
- 00:20:31good little measure for those first 5 or
- 00:20:3310 minutes when they're like two balls
- 00:20:35in a china shop I want to now do what I
- 00:20:39have to do to make things right and
- 00:20:41better for my children cuz if we don't
- 00:20:44change Hunter's never going to
- 00:20:46change the fact is now we're looking at
- 00:20:48boys that are in a place that everything
- 00:20:50they take now they're going to take into
- 00:20:52their
- 00:20:54adulthood what kind of got me the most
- 00:20:56is it's not about me you know it's about
- 00:20:58about my wife and it's about my two sons
- 00:21:01it's about the Benton family I'm ready
- 00:21:04to move forward I'm ready to change
- 00:21:07things I've been
- 00:21:11ready well let's let's do
- 00:21:15it you mean you're not going to kick me
- 00:21:16out your house I guess I'll let you stay
- 00:21:19a little bit
- 00:21:24[Music]
- 00:21:26longer so now with Greg on board I
- 00:21:28wanted to dive in straight away and work
- 00:21:31out homework for Rivers so I am going to
- 00:21:34have to put in a technique that would
- 00:21:36allow rivers to identify when he needed
- 00:21:39his parents help and when he could do it
- 00:21:40himself the subjects that you need more
- 00:21:43help on you're going to place an m and d
- 00:21:46on does anybody know what m and d stands
- 00:21:48for most difficult no but that was
- 00:21:51pretty good that was good okay Mom and
- 00:21:53Dad right the work that you don't need
- 00:21:57Mom and Dad's help for have rivers on
- 00:21:59them and the reason for this Rivers is
- 00:22:02because I want you to become more
- 00:22:03confident doing your homework yourself
- 00:22:06and not being dependent on Mom and Dad
- 00:22:08to give you the answers all the time
- 00:22:10Rivers you're going to put your stickers
- 00:22:12on the appropriate books okay okay so
- 00:22:15let him do it you do it yeah let him do
- 00:22:18it so you put a r on there sh telling
- 00:22:21him the whole thing let him do it let
- 00:22:23him do it Greg we're still modic
- 00:22:24coddling him through everything he let
- 00:22:27him do it he's got to think for himself
- 00:22:28he's got to think for himself because
- 00:22:30he's not going to have you always
- 00:22:32thatass going to be there buddy Joe
- 00:22:34recognized right away us being right
- 00:22:36over here just got to
- 00:22:39start the last part of homework is
- 00:22:41creating some boundaries between the
- 00:22:44parents and rivers and now okay we're
- 00:22:47going to find you a place for you to go
- 00:22:50when it's just you doing the our work

- 00:23:01of action to deal with this homework
- 00:23:04situation and rivers was exatic about it
- 00:23:07and I think that that's going to be a
- 00:23:09confidence builder for
- 00:23:14him get out your penmanship book you are
- 00:23:17supposed to be doing your penmanship
- 00:23:19when Hunter wouldn't sit down and do his
- 00:23:20homework it was a perfect opportunity
- 00:23:23for me to teach mom how to do discipline
- 00:23:25properly take that piece of metal out of
- 00:23:28your mouth now before you break your
- 00:23:33teeth thank you no sir I don't think so

- 00:24:04discipline so he can go and sit up in
- 00:24:07his room and he can stay there for 8
- 00:24:09minutes and think about what he's done

- 00:30:03giving a slap across the backside oh
- 00:30:06yeah yeah that's you can see I mean I've
- 00:30:08been here before with parents you've
- 00:30:10lost control there you've lost
- 00:30:13control I've gave you enough of warnings
- 00:30:16so go to your room for 8 minutes why
- 00:30:20because I don't like your attitude I
- 00:30:22don't like the way you're acting toward

- 00:30:27not slam that door I did not slam it
- 00:30:30okay you can stay in your room for an
- 00:30:33[Music]
- 00:30:36hour you get your grammar book and you
- 00:30:39go back to your room for
- 00:30:42another I'm going to tell you 30 minutes
- 00:30:45this
- 00:30:47[Music]
- 00:30:48time open this door better than that you

- 00:30:59it's time to go to
- 00:31:03[Music]

- 00:31:09didn't allow him to be able to put
- 00:31:11things right this boy didn't have he
- 00:31:14didn't have a chance a chance how do I
- 00:31:16decide 8 minutes 30 minutes an hour in
- 00:31:19your room you were told 8 minutes full
- 00:31:21stop of its to be in his room when you
- 00:31:24step up as a parent and you implement
- 00:31:26discipline and you follow through
- 00:31:27through very calmly then you show them
- 00:31:30that you can be firm but fair so we need
- 00:31:33to go over discipline again with you
- 00:31:35okay we do need to look at homework we
- 00:31:38need to work on your tone we need to
- 00:31:41work on your frustration with discipline
- 00:31:43and we need to get that underneath your
- 00:31:44belt you need to be more clear on the
- 00:31:47discipline otherwise it's going to
- 00:31:49become worse and more destructive so we
- 00:31:51have got some more work to do we're not
- 00:31:52out the woods yet as we say so should we
- 00:31:55get cracking let's get cracking

- 00:32:40excuses I'd put the discipline scroll up
- 00:32:43on the wall mom had looked at her tiny
- 00:32:46scroll a few times and I just wanted to
- 00:32:48see whether she was taking anything in
- 00:32:51EM uh can you give me off the top of
- 00:32:53your head the three main points of
- 00:32:58discipline warning follow through wake
- 00:33:02up mom had the three steps down but it's
- 00:33:04one thing to say them you got to do
- 00:33:06[Music]
- 00:33:09it I could see on the DVD that Mom just
- 00:33:12wasn't leaving Rivers alone when it came
- 00:33:14to him doing his homework so I gave her
- 00:33:16one last exercise so that Rivers could
- 00:33:19get the space that he needed this is
- 00:33:21what would normally
- 00:33:23happen are you all right there rivers
- 00:33:25are you able to do that yeah you right
- 00:33:28there right and what's that you're doing
- 00:33:30did I just break your
- 00:33:31concentration
- 00:33:34sorry all right she's kicking on you bir
- 00:33:37so this is what would normally happen I
- 00:33:40think Mom and Dad have learned from my
- 00:33:41example but it remains to be seen
- 00:33:43whether they can resist temptation the
- 00:33:46more you leave him to be independent in
- 00:33:48doing it the more he'll learn how to
- 00:33:50cope so we want you from here okay all
- 00:33:53right staying out the room is a good
- 00:33:54idea cuz it gives Rivers more
- 00:33:56Independence and it keeps me off of his
- 00:33:59back we got to let him go sometime and
- 00:34:01spread his
- 00:34:02wings sounds good it's going to create
- 00:34:05more
- 00:34:13space this was a completely different
- 00:34:15mom to what I'd seen on the DVD she was
- 00:34:19calm and she was leaving him
- 00:34:22be okay fabulous so I'm happy with this
- 00:34:26if you find that he's coming into you a
- 00:34:28lot because now you don't go into him I
- 00:34:31just want you to be able to say you need
- 00:34:32to go back into your room and get on
- 00:34:34with what you're doing
- 00:34:35[Music]
- 00:34:38okay and sure enough Rivers came out
- 00:34:41just as I
- 00:34:43predicted how about your spelling I
- 00:34:45don't think I to do okay you don't worry
- 00:34:49about this right now okay M okay you
- 00:34:52don't worry about this right now
- 00:34:58how you handled that was good well thank
- 00:35:01you very much you were just
- 00:35:03calmer it's a lot more productive and
- 00:35:05you're less stressed I think Mom's come
- 00:35:08a long way she's not barking in his face
- 00:35:11and she's not doing River's homework for
- 00:35:13him and that's going to be better for
- 00:35:14the whole family let's face
- 00:35:16[Music]
- 00:35:21it before I left there was one other
- 00:35:24thing I wanted to do with Dad you see
- 00:35:26Dad all the time connect with his boys
- 00:35:28when he's really physical and he rough
- 00:35:30houses with them get him honey get him
- 00:35:32but I wanted him to connect with his
- 00:35:34boys in a more emotional way so I asked
- 00:35:37him to get out some old photos and talk
- 00:35:39to the boys about the day they were born
- 00:35:43guess what I got baby pictures let's
- 00:35:46look at Rivers first this is a picture
- 00:35:50of you inside of mommy's belly we found
- 00:35:55out that it was a little boy and I was
- 00:35:56so excited
- 00:35:58you always want a little boy always want
- 00:35:59a little boy you can't describe it how
- 00:36:02wonderful it is sitting out on a blanket
- 00:36:04and taking some pictures of Hunter
- 00:36:06rivers and talking about things that we
- 00:36:09don't talk about every day and that's
- 00:36:11Rivers look like a little peanut head
- 00:36:14sticking up right to have the boys out
- 00:36:16there those are the kind of moments that
- 00:36:18you will remember could di there
- 00:36:21R how happy you are and guess who
- 00:36:24changed your first diaper you did I did
- 00:36:27thank you
- 00:36:28then mama was pregnant with Hunter there
- 00:36:31he is that's little
- 00:36:34Cannonball sitting down and actually
- 00:36:36listening to Greg talk about when the
- 00:36:38boys were born was a nice moment you
- 00:36:41could see that Dad was connecting with
- 00:36:42the boys on an emotional level look look
- 00:36:45at your mommy she looks like she's about
- 00:36:47to puke but unfortunately it was ruined
- 00:36:50when Hunter became very disrespectful
- 00:36:53your mom did a lot for you she
- 00:36:55sacrificed for you can you imagine
- 00:36:56having to be in your mommy's Billy for 9
- 00:36:58months I can imagine puking all
- 00:37:01over stop hey look at me that's your
- 00:37:05warning okay that's the warning I know
- 00:37:08how was mommy feeling mommy actually had
- 00:37:10some complications so she had to stay in
- 00:37:12the hospital a few days but uh she was
- 00:37:16very excited she puking B I know what
- 00:37:18you're saying that we're talking out
- 00:37:21here but inevitably Hunter continued
- 00:37:25being smart with his mouth and he ended
- 00:37:26up having to do a timeout Hunter's going
- 00:37:30to time
- 00:37:33out there's some bears there's some bear
- 00:37:35and for me as a father had to sit there
- 00:37:37and listen to my son say those things
- 00:37:39but you're doing something about it and
- 00:37:41that's what's important and when Huna
- 00:37:43played up it gave dad an opportunity
- 00:37:45there and then to deal with the
- 00:37:47discipline technique okay so uh it's
- 00:37:50been about 8 minutes now I saw from the
- 00:37:52DVD that the last time dad was in
- 00:37:54Hunter's room it became a shouting match
- 00:37:58this time dad needed to follow through
- 00:37:59with discipline and keep his call I'm
- 00:38:02asking you to tell me what you did and
- 00:38:05apologize for
- 00:38:07it I'm sorry I'm sorry for disrespecting
