Parental Guidance
The highly anticipated return of the groundbreaking series Parental Guidance is here, ready to captivate Australia once again and ignite nationwide conversations.
Building upon the phenomenal success of its first season, the show is set to elevate the spotlight on parenting – the world’s toughest gig.
In this fresh and thought-provoking series, parents with twelve remarkably distinctive methods and approaches to parenting will take centre stage. This diverse range of parents bring unique perspectives, differing greatly from one another and the parenting styles showcased in the previous season. Throughout the series, they will critically examine, compare and reassess their own parenting styles with fresh eyes.
Guiding them through the million-dollar question of “how should we raise our adults of the future?” are the returning dynamic duo: Ally Langdon, the esteemed host of A Current Affair, and Dr Justin Coulson, one of Australia’s most trusted parenting experts. Together they will lead this new set of parents through a series of tough challenges. The carefully crafted challenges are grounded in real-life scenarios to illuminate the strengths and weaknesses inherent in each parenting style. The
results are nothing short of authentic, joyful, and shocking.
From the Outback to the Spiritual, Gentle to Unstructured, Road School to Influencer, Stage to Slow, Honest to Lighthouse, and Team to American, every facet of each parenting style will be meticulously unpacked, judged and scrutinised under the guidance of Ally and Justin, to ultimately deliver a vote for Australia’s best style.
This season will shine a special spotlight on raising children in the digital age, delving into pressing topics such as the rise of Influencer parenting and shedding light on the dark side of online gaming and the internet. It will also explore the essentials of parenting in great depth, ranging from effectively managing tantrums and sibling rivalries to addressing bullying, discussing health education, and fostering a drive for success in children.
In this series, viewers will also have a unique opportunity to learn, reflect and even level up their own parenting skills as they watch the journey of these mothers and fathers when they undertake the greatest challenge of all under the gaze of an entire nation.
Parental Guidance is produced by Eureka Productions for the 9Network.
