Parental guidance is all about what the parents deem fit for their children. Some parents feel that their way is better than others.
In this week’s episode, the parents go head to head after one pair of the parents go against their parental style.
During a camping trip, some of the parents were surprised to find that the free-range parents have never taken their kids out on a camping trip before.
Since Penny and Daniel are the free-range parents, the others couldn’t get themselves to understand why the pair had never gone camping with their children before.
It was understood later that Daniel had been afraid of going camping with his kids and that it had been a general fear of his regardless of his oldest son pestering him to go.
At this point in the Parental guidance competition, the free-range parents have been crowned the winners of this week’s challenge.
This week, the parents needed to spend 24 hours in the wilderness with their kids without technology and away from everything they regard as normal.
Their time in the wilderness challenged the parents parenting style in a setting where everything is unfamiliar and other parents commended them for the way they handled themselves and the kids.
