During Nine’s Upfronts this year, the network described the show as a new format coming in late 2021, which sets out to discover what Australia’s best parenting style is. Host Ally Langdon is joined by Dr Justin Coulson to look at ten sets of parents with very different parenting styles, putting their methods to the test.
