Hosted by Allison Langdon and Dr. Justin Coulson, it’s the “groundbreaking” new reality TV show set to turn parenting on its head as 10 families with different parenting styles face-off on Parental Guidance. Think Wife-Swap meets Supernanny.
WATCH: Parental Guidance discusses ‘smacking’ kids
Dominating the time-slot on Monday evening, the premiere was watched by more than 620,000 Aussies. And we can see why.
Though it promises to be “heartwarming” from time to time, the series has already brought out the drama in episode one with a controversial debate over ‘smacking’ children.
Clashing perspectives were bound to come up, with each family having diverse parenting methods, including natural, attachment, strict, routine and tiger. But at the root of it all is the desire of these parents to do what’s best for their families.
