Channel 9’s “Parental Guidance” Season 2 Premieres 5 June
The groundbreaking series Parental Guidance is ready to once again captivate Australia and spark conversations across the country. The show’s second season will expand on the first’s groundbreaking success by shining a brighter light on parenting, the most challenging profession on the planet.
This new and thought-provoking series will focus on a group of twelve parents who have remarkably different styles of raising their children. This wide variety of parents offers fresh insights, and their approaches to parenting are quite different from one another and from those portrayed in Season 1. They will look at their parenting methods from different perspectives throughout the series.
Ally Langdon, host of A Current Affair, and Dr. Justin Coulson, one of Australia’s most trusted parenting experts, are back to help them navigate the million-dollar question of “how should we raise our adults of the future?” They will work together to guide this new family through many difficult situations. The challenges have been thoughtfully designed around real-world contexts to highlight the benefits and drawbacks of each parenting approach. The end result is refreshingly genuine, upbeat, and unexpected.
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.
The season will focus on the challenges of parenting in the digital age, exploring issues like the rise of Influencer parenting and the dangers of exposing kids to violent content online. In addition, it will delve deeply into the fundamentals of parenting, covering topics such as how to deal with tantrums and sibling rivalry, how to teach kids about health and nutrition, and how to instill a sense of ambition in them.
As viewers follow these parents as they face the ultimate challenge in front of the eyes of a nation, they will have a rare opportunity to learn, reflect, and perhaps even improve their own parenting skills.
Parental Guidance is produced by Eureka Productions for the 9Network. Season 2 premieres Monday 5 June 2023 at 7.30pm.
