Right.
I think peeps do need to remember that this IS TV after all and things are edited to show the meltdowns because well, that's more interesting than perfectly well-behaved kids.
We don't know what J&K are doing to help her or to stop the tantrums, because that may not be something they deal with on camera.
From what I have seen, they do pretty well. Example: when they don't allow her to participate if she's going to have a meltdown.
That's what I do with the kids I sit for. If Becky is going to have cow over (example) which watercolors we use when painting, then she doesn't get to play.
