A MUM claims she’s been forced to quit her job to watch her toddler 24/7 after she was expelled from nursery for her dangerous behaviour.
Joanne is at her wit’s end with her three-year-old daughter, Lottie, one of the students appearing on Britain’s Naughtiest Nursery, on 5Star.

The toddler has already been asked to leave one nursery due to her ‘daredevil’ behaviour, and Joanna has turned to the child psychologist, Laverne Antrobus, for help.
She said: “I was getting called to pick Lottie up maybe once, twice, three times a week.
“She was a danger to herself and a danger to others.
“I don’t get a minute, I need eyes all around her.

“She doesn’t care about consequences, you can take her away from the situation, and she’ll just go back and do exactly the same thing.”
Her behaviour is so bad Joanne has been forced to give up work to look after her.
Joanne explains Lottie runs across the road without looking, climbs on top of high furniture and swears at her.
The little girl admits: “I say the f-word a lot.”

And she doesn’t just say rude words, but will also use her fingers to swear.
Joanne said: “She’ll mouth it to me, she’ll pretend to count, and stick her fingers up. She knows exactly what she’s doing.
“When you’ve got a child who doesn’t listen, you think ‘what have I done wrong?’
“It’s hard. Because when he [husband] comes home from work I’m stressed. I’m exhausted with it all.
“I’m worried she’s going to hurt herself one day.”

After attending the specialist nursery, Laverne agreed that Lottie may end up accidentally hurting herself one day.
She said: “It seems to be a real struggle to get to what it is that’s driving her.
“Joanne is desperate for help with Lottie.”
But she noted that Lottie also seems to enjoy the reaction she gets out of the adults.
Laverne added: “Lottie enjoys quite a thrill from climbing and exploring in this way, but she also enjoys the reaction that adults give her.”
She advised Joanne to give her a safe environment to explore, such as jelly, which they experimented with.

Meanwhile this mum keeps kids quiet by telling them they need to lie still to ‘charge’ their glow-in-the-dark pyjamas.
And this little boy was moved to tears after his classmates donated toys to him after he lost everything in a house fire.
While this mum flogs her kids’ toys on eBay to fund her hobbies and crafts.
