Nine’s new parenting show Parental Guidance launched last night to 629,000 viewers, making it the top performing entertainment of the night.
The show, which is marketed as a ‘groundbreaking experiment’, sees 10 sets of parents have their very different parenting styles assessed by Today’s Ally Langdon and Dr Justin Coulson, a parenting expert. Perhaps it will have some handy tips for anyone feeling strung out by months of lockdown home-schooling?
