Returning: Parental Guidance

Season 2 of Parental Guidance, hosted by Ally Langdon and expert Dr Justin Coulson, will screen on Nine from early June.

The 7 part series features parents with twelve methods and approaches to parenting, differing from season one. Throughout the series, they will critically examine, compare and reassess their own parenting styles with fresh eyes.

Ally Langdon said: “Parenting is like treading water while juggling – just when you think you’ve got the hang of it, another ball gets thrown into the mix!

“That’s why this show is so important and such a privilege to be a part of, because not only do we get the opportunity to witness some incredible people raise awesome kids, we all get to learn a thing or ten along the way.”

Dr Coulson said: “There’s something really special about the connection between a family unit, so I’m excited to see how these twelve different dynamics respond when being put to the test.

“The beauty of this environment is that it’s safe and controlled, which allows us all to arm ourselves with knowledge and a strong sense of responsibility ahead of these scenarios playing out in real time.”

Faced with more tough challenges that are grounded in real-life scenarios – such as navigating the dark side of online gaming and the internet, posing for the picture-perfect family photo, defending yourself against a bully, or discussing the birds and the bees – the outcomes are authentic, joyful and shocking. From Outback to Influencer, Unstructured to Honest, Spiritual to Stage, each parenting style’s strengths and weaknesses are laid bare.

Parental Guidance is produced by Eureka Productions for the 9Network.

7:30pm Monday June 5 on Nine.
