1
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,120
Previously on Parental Guidance.

2
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,720
Oi!
We need to go to the video ref.

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,360
Four new parenting styles came into
focus

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,040
and confronted the worst
parts of the internet.

5
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:19,920
Girls get tarnished to being
explicit and for being sexual.

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,480
That's like total double standard.

7
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:26,480
Then the influencer parents
were voted best of the night.

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:27,760
We thought everyone would hate us.

9
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:36,160
Tonight, the battle for Australia's
best parenting style continues.

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,240
Welcome to our madhouse.

11
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:41,880
We put our stage parents...

12
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,240
Don't forget,
neither of us ate carbs.

13
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:45,800
..under the spotlight.

14
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,320
If you want to be a Hollywood
actor and be all buff,

15
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:49,840
you need to watch what you eat.

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:50,960
We all have amazing bodies

17
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,160
regardless of how they might look on
the outside.

18
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,040
And when the unthinkable happens...

19
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,080
(ALARM)

20
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,360
The kids are home alone
and there's a fire.

21
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,400
Wow.
What would your child do?

22
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,760
(COUGHS)
Oh, crap.

23
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,160
This really tests
life and death skills.

24
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,400
Oh, my God.

25
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,480
(ALARM)
Emergency!

26
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,440
# Your love is like a symphony #

27
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,680
Justin, is it OK to
have a favourite child?

28
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,080
Oh, no. No, it's not.

29
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,440
We're supposed to love
them all just the same.

30
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,440
Yeah, that's what I say, too.

31
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,920
But you can rank them, right?

32
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:35,040
(LAUGHTER)

33
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,320
Parents, hello.

34
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,720
Welcome to the
Eurovision of Parenting...

35
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:42,760
(LAUGHTER)

36
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,160
..where we find out which
style is pitch-perfect.

37
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,360
And whether any of you will
have an off-key moment.

38
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,520
Last time we put you through
some mind-bending challenges.

39
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,080
But now, we need to see
more from you focused parents

40
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,720
because tonight is decision night.

41
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,520
We're going to find out
who will be joining Kat,

42
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,480
our honest parent,
in the final challenge.

43
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,640
And panel parents,
it is up to you to decide.

44
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,760
Last time you picked Jonathan
and Kat, our influencer parents,

45
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,760
as the best parenting styles so far.

46
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,000
Will they be able to stay on
top of the podium tonight?

47
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:27,720
OK.

48
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,480
Our first challenge tonight
tackles a very relatable issue.

49
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,920
So in this challenge, we
gave the parents the night off

50
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,960
and put the kids in charge of dinner.

51
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,200
So it's up to the kids to get a meal
on the table for the whole family.

52
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,600
Let's see what you all had to eat.

53
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,720
This challenge will test
what life skills

54
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,640
these parents have passed on to
their kids.

55
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,400
Are the children comfortable
in the kitchen whipping up a meal

56
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,960
or is takeaway
the name of the game?

57
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,320
Do they go healthy or is it going
to be junk food for the win?

58
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,840
(CHIME)

59
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,440
Oh, I just got a message.

60
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,120
Parents, you're getting the night
off.

61
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,720
It's up to the kids to sort out
dinner

62
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,880
for the family while you relax.

63
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:18,640
Winning.

64
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,120
Winner, winner chicken dinner.

65
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,160
In this challenge, we're
testing whether these kids

66
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,040
know how to provide
a meal for their family.

67
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,560
It will also reveal
the true family dynamics.

68
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,800
I'm excited that you don't have to
cook.

69
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,120
What are you thinking?

70
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,360
Pasta.

71
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,760
As spiritual parents, meal times
are very important in our house.

72
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,720
It's a very core part of our
household.

73
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,120
Get everything that we need.

74
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,360
I was very confident they can do it.

75
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,200
Push it down, turn on this way.

76
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,720
If you need anything,
just let us know.

77
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,480
Can I cut off Bob?

78
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:50,800
Yeah, I'll teach you how to cut.

79
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,680
You just need to cut
smaller pieces, like that.

80
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:53,720
OK.

81
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,320
Krishna was guiding Mridula.

82
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,520
As spiritual parents,
these are very important;

83
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,600
kindness, caring and looking
out for each other.

84
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,440
Am I mixing it correctly?
Yeah.

85
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,880
It might be good, it might be bad.

86
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,280
Mridula is a very fussy eater.

87
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,600
Done.
Can we try now?

88
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,920
Yes.
Yep.

89
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,280
OK, that's enough, I think.

90
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,720
But today we saw her exploring
a new type of food because

91
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,760
of the fact that she was
involved in the cooking.

92
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,600
How does it taste?

93
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,200
It's yummy.

94
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,760
I could make this every day.
Yeah.

95
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,320
If you enjoy making it,
I'll enjoy eating it.

96
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,400
That was sweet.

97
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,000
You are going to do something for
us.

98
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,960
We would like you to make us dinner,

99
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,920
but I'd like it to be
more than one course.

100
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,400
In this stage of parenting style,

101
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,080
I like to push my kids
to see what they can do.

102
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,160
What's the first thing that we make?

103
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,200
I'd definitely trust our
kids to cook for us.

104
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,000
Do you want to help me a bit?
Sure.

105
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,680
What vegetables do you reckon?

106
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:53,720
Umm...

107
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,240
Spinach?
Yeah.

108
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,880
Don't forget,
neither of us eat carbs.

109
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,080
I'm cooking.

110
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,400
I think Xion,

111
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,440
his number one food is rice.

112
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,400
So there was a big chunk of rice.

113
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,760
(LAUGHS)

114
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:09,880
Holy crap.

115
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,440
We think it's important
without shaming them.

116
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,560
Make them aware.

117
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,080
If you want to be a Hollywood
actor and be all buff and hot,

118
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,960
then you need to watch what you eat.

119
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,640
Thanks.
I loved the little bits on the side.

120
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:24,800
Enjoy your food.

121
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:26,320
I won't be eating the rice.

122
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,560
I hope it's not poisonous.

123
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,560
Mommy, you took it all apart.

124
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,560
Because I have to save room
for the main course.

125
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,520
Steak and vegetables.

126
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,520
Thank you very much.
Thank you.

127
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,880
Well done, Alaska.

128
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,800
Now, Mridula is normally
a bit of a fussy eater,

129
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:45,760
but she ate all of that.

130
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,920
Is there something
to take away from that?

131
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,800
Yeah, I think the more you
empower them and do less,

132
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:54,120
it allows them to grow
and reach out for their potential.

133
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:57,960
You are so present.

134
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,840
It's commendable.

135
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,840
You are living in exactly that
moment and everyone embraces

136
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,000
it in their own little way,
but together it's brilliant.

137
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,800
We spend a lot of time
eating in our lives,

138
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:10,760
so the whole process of eating,

139
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,800
preparing,
becomes a spiritual activity.

140
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:15,760
I always say to my kids that
this food which has reached

141
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,240
our table had touched 100
hands before it's come to us.

142
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:20,520
Can I move in with you?

143
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,840
(LAUGHTER)

144
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,040
OK, what about our stage parents,
Sarah and Shane?

145
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,680
I really liked how they
gave each child a course to do

146
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,360
so you're pushing
them to their limit.

147
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,160
That's a good example of them sort
of raising

148
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,520
the standard for their kids.

149
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,520
I loved how confident your kids
were.

150
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,120
I think you could see
that they loved it, too.

151
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,760
Their enthusiasm was so evident.
Yeah.

152
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,280
Yeah, they do.

153
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,560
I guess for me, it was just
a little bit concerning

154
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,280
that you made a comment about if you
wanted to be in the public eye

155
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,080
and in the media that you had
to look a certain way

156
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,960
because it's definitely not
something

157
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,640
that I believe to be true.

158
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,760
I said, if he wants to be in a
Hollywood movie and be big and buff,

159
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,240
then he needs to work towards that.

160
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:08,520
It's a personal goal that he's
expressed.

161
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:10,880
Where do you think that belief
system

162
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,400
for him has come from, though?

163
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,000
Yeah, well, they're in
the entertainment industry,

164
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,040
so he's being in musicals,

165
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,400
all the dancers and everything
have all got amazing bodies.

166
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,040
He's been around it a lot, yeah.

167
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,560
We all have amazing bodies
regardless of

168
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,040
how they might look on the outside.

169
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,440
It's not nice to comment
on people's bodies.

170
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,360
All bodies are amazing
but to have those messages,

171
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:37,840
that starts to play with their

172
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,680
self-image and their
self-confidence.

173
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,600
It doesn't sit well with me at all.

174
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,600
Look, to be honest, I didn't have
any issue with what happened there.

175
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,880
I think they're in
an industry where it may come up

176
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,160
and that's in the forefront
of their kid's mind.

177
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,320
Alright, we have two more
parenting styles to see.

178
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:58,600
Let's take a look.

179
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,760
We just got an exciting
one for Mummy and Daddy.

180
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,640
It's up to the kids to sort out

181
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,200
dinner for the family while we
relax.

182
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,640
I can't cook.

183
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,480
I'm going to leave Matty in
charge because he's the oldest.

184
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,400
As team parents, our children
have roles in the family.

185
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:15,440
Yeah.

186
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,880
We put a lot of responsibility on
Matthew.

187
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,320
He's like the captain of the side.

188
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,120
So why don't we all have
a group discussion about

189
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,040
what we want to order
to be delivered to us?

190
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,760
Ten hundred per cent easier.

191
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,520
I would have loved for them
to cook up a dish for us,

192
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,640
but it doesn't surprise me
that they've done take away.

193
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:29,880
It's easier.

194
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,840
So what kind of food do you
reckon we should have?

195
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,120
Pasta.
No.

196
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,680
I feel like tacos.
No.

197
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,080
You want burritos?

198
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,800
Ella, do you want chicken.
No.

199
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,400
She's going to have a look.

200
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,720
That's beef that you
have in the spaghetti.

201
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:43,760
Yes, I want that one.

202
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:44,800
Yep. Do you want that?

203
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,760
So we'll get chicken and we'll get
beef because Ella wants to beef.

204
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:50,680
Yeah. Yeah.

205
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,760
And we are done.

206
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,120
I think as team parents, you know,

207
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,720
our parenting style is educating
our children to work together.

208
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,080
Yeah, to look out for each other.
Yeah.

209
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,120
Not leave one man behind.
Yeah.

210
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,680
Guys, you've all done a good job.

211
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,920
Thank you for giving us a night off.
Welcome, Mom.

212
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,240
So, do we have to cook dinner
tonight?

213
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,280
You have to provide dinner for us.
Well, let's go to Maccas.

214
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,520
(LAUGHTER)

215
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,680
As influencer parents,
we think giving your kids a longer

216
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,360
leash and a bit more freedom

217
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:25,840
isn't always a bad thing.

218
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,960
What Deja, what do you think?
Sushi.

219
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,360
You're not going to cook us
anything.

220
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:30,520
Mm.

221
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:31,640
They're not cooking.

222
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,600
Not if there's another option.

223
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,040
Can't wait to see what you bring
back.

224
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,320
Please make sure it's, like,
not too naughty, but delicious.

225
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,880
OK, I'll get you a green leaf salad.

226
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,320
With influencer-style parenting,

227
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,480
we are really open with our kids
about how we eat

228
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:52,640
and why we eat that way

229
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:56,000
because we used to live
a very unhealthy lifestyle

230
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,640
and that impacted our life
in a very negative way.

231
00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:00,760
We should get like Dad a Coke.

232
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,080
Not a Coke, no sugar.

233
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,640
We were both smokers and we were
both heavy drinkers and, you know,

234
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:10,160
did all the things that
wild young people did.

235
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,960
Do you know what you to get?
Yeah.

236
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:19,760
I think the way we teach our
kids is by sharing our past

237
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,080
so that they can kind of
learn from our mistakes.

238
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,600
So we got you guys a scallop,
the salmon and avocado,

239
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,040
and chicken and avo.

240
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,560
Good job, guys.
Thanks.

241
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,160
OK, panel, your thoughts.

242
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,240
Leanne and Mark.

243
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,080
Matthew, he rounded them up and he
took on

244
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,360
what they liked and what they
didn't.

245
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,000
He really listened.

246
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,320
And it was very evident that
he cared and he was wonderful.

247
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,360
Yeah.

248
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,640
Having six kids, everyone's
got a voice to be heard.

249
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:52,600
And even though it could
be the little lunatic

250
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,920
three-year-old who wears
sunglasses at night,

251
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,440
they've all got to be heard and they
all got a contribution to be made.

252
00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:01,920
Kat and Jonathan, you talk
about your wild past.

253
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,960
Yeah, we were party animals.
Yeah.

254
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,600
Once you've lived that past, you've
got two options to your child.

255
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,040
It's hide it, right?

256
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,240
Or be open about it.

257
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,880
When we talk about drugs and
alcohol,

258
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,280
I've said if you try drugs,
they're going to feel good.

259
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,160
People don't do drugs
because they feel bad.

260
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,200
But, this is what it
can do to your body.

261
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,440
This is what it can do
to your relationships.

262
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,480
This is what it can do to your job.

263
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,560
But I think you've got to be really
careful with the wording around

264
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,120
'Drugs will make you feel good.'

265
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,400
Maybe say drugs will give you
euphoria.

266
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,760
This is what that is
and this is how it impacts you.

267
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,120
But does a 13, 14, or 16-year-old
know what that is?

268
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:46,600
No, but that's where the
conversation

269
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,960
would then go this is what this is.

270
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,840
There's a dangerous wording around
drugs will make you feel good

271
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,120
because then
that's what they remember.

272
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,280
For the long term, it's
completely destructive

273
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,320
to your well-being and your life.

274
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,920
And that's the reality of the
situation.

275
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,960
All parents want their kids to make
safe,

276
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,840
healthy decisions around
what goes into their bodies.

277
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,960
The important thing when
discussing choices around drugs

278
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:20,360
or alcohol or unhealthy food is
to be open and non-judgmental.

279
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,960
We want to empower our kids
to make their own decisions

280
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,760
and arm them with the knowledge
to make healthy ones.

281
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,640
Coming up, we lift the curtain...

282
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:32,000
River is Jai in Home and Away.

283
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,360
..on stage parenting.

284
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,960
He gets stopped on the street a lot.

285
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,600
Sometimes I force him to get photos
with people

286
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,600
because I don't want to be rude.

287
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,120
If he said I don't want to take a
photo.

288
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,360
Would you respect his autonomy?

289
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:45,440
I think it's kind of rude.

290
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,240
Get a grip on big fears.

291
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,680
I was petrified.

292
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,400
No way, I'm not doing that.

293
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:53,640
Mummy.

294
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:58,520
And later, who will be
voted our next finalists?

295
00:12:58,560 --> 00:12:59,920
Time for the moment of truth.

296
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,320
# #

297
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,280
Before we move on to our next
challenge, focused parents,

298
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,640
we're getting to know each of
your parenting styles in detail.

299
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,800
Let's get to know a little more about
Mark and Leanne

300
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,160
and their team parenting style.

301
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,440
Team parenting means parenting
like the coach of a football team.

302
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,520
Everyone is expected to work
together

303
00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:36,600
and everyone has a role to play.

304
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,640
There are high expectations, but no
player is going to be left behind.

305
00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:42,800
Let's get to training,
tell them Bob.

306
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,400
Correct, correct.
Training time!

307
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:45,520
Let's go. Let's go.

308
00:13:45,560 --> 00:13:48,160
Our team parenting motto is
One In...

309
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,200
All in.
..All In.

310
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,520
Alright, are we ready to go
training?

311
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:51,880
ALL: Yes.
Alright.

312
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:52,920
Let's go.

313
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,400
I hope youse gonna
have a go today, yeah.

314
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,440
ALL: Yes.
I always do, trust me.

315
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,600
You're going to take Bobby to Oztag?
Yep.

316
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,440
After Oztag, you're going to
take Bayley to swimming lessons,

317
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,120
and then I'm going to
come back and pick youse up.

318
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,200
Yeah, OK.
We're happy.

319
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,880
Yep. All ears, coach. All ears.

320
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,400
Our weekly routine is
very, very, very busy.

321
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,560
They all do so many different
sports.

322
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,160
There's no downtime in this
household.

323
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,880
You go train hard. Have fun.

324
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:15,920
Come on, Bobs.

325
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,640
Love you Bobsalogs.

326
00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:19,080
Rugby leagues is in our blood.

327
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,200
I'm the son of the late
great Arthur Beetson.

328
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,720
He's the first Aboriginal captain
of any sporting team in Australia.

329
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,880
One of what's known as
a rugby league immortal.

330
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,480
He was a coach.

331
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,920
He coached me so had a massive
impact

332
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,040
on the way we do things,
most definitely.

333
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,040
Part of our team parenting,
we believe in repetition,

334
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,760
respect, discipline.

335
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,520
They're all the fundamentals
that make our team what we are.

336
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,040
Sit down, get a plate of food.

337
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,680
With the indigenous heritage, our
kids do have a sense of belonging.

338
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,040
We're having a feast.

339
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,280
Very supportive with family.

340
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,960
Everything works easier
if you do it together, right?

341
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,080
So my best part of the day was

342
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,040
having
this experience with my children.

343
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,080
The whole day has been
the best part for me.

344
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,640
Watching you guys do well.

345
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,640
I like how we're bringing
our team together.

346
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,720
Yeah, we're building for the finals.
Yes.

347
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,240
Number one - minor premiers!

348
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:10,480
That's our family.

349
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,120
I loved that you said

350
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,440
everything works better when you do
it together.

351
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,000
Does. It's easier.

352
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,560
Because I think we find that too.

353
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,280
People can still have their own
opinions,

354
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,280
but you can find a way to do it
together.

355
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,440
And I think that's more fun
as well to do it like that.

356
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,160
Yeah, I think it's interesting
for us.

357
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,600
We always say like "Quickly,
quickly,

358
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,400
like jump in the car,
quickly, quickly."

359
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,520
Like, we find when
there's so much on,

360
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,200
the kids behaviour starts to change.

361
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,320
And that's like too much for them.

362
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,680
Yeah, our kids thrive off it.

363
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,840
If we're not doing anything,
they're kind of...

364
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,720
Yeah, they start to bounce
off the walls really.

365
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,240
Yeah.

366
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:52,640
I really like them.

367
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,480
They just, everything they do is
fun.

368
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,040
And it shows up when they're with
their children

369
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,360
and there's that connection.

370
00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:59,680
And I think it's great.

371
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,520
I feel like there like
a bus coming through.

372
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,760
Like there's so much noise
and organised chaos.

373
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,520
It's interesting to see how they
manage the kids' individual needs.

374
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,160
Alright.

375
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:18,120
This next challenge is one no parent
in Australia can afford to ignore.

376
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,920
The nightmare scenario.

377
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,480
The kids are home alone
and there's a fire.

378
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,520
We talk about giving our kids life
skills,

379
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,320
but this really tests
life and death skills.

380
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,160
Whew!

381
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,280
On average, more Australians die in
house fires each year

382
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:43,520
than in floods, storms,
and bushfires combined.

383
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,640
Have these parents made
sure their children

384
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,360
are prepared for this worst case
scenario?

385
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,440
Billy, can you go and help your
sister with those cookies?

386
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:58,560
Oh, yeah.
Open it.

387
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,320
To test the children's independence,

388
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,520
first we need to send
the parents out on a quick errand.

389
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:04,880
Daysh.
Yeah.

390
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,080
We're just going to go next door.

391
00:17:06,120 --> 00:17:07,400
You're going to be right on your
own?

392
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:08,440
Yep.
Cool.

393
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,120
Bye.
Bye.

394
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:15,840
Then we set off a non-toxic
but very realistic smoke bomb,

395
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,360
and a dummy fire alarm.

396
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,840
We want to know, have our focus
parents taught their children

397
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,600
to evacuate and call for
help in an emergency.

398
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,040
Oh, my God.

399
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,360
(ALARM)

400
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,680
I don't think I've had a
conversation with Deja

401
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,000
about what
to do if there's a fire.

402
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,320
What the hell.

403
00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:39,120
With the influencer style,

404
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,720
I think she's capable of
making the right decision.

405
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,520
(ALARM CONTINUES)

406
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,240
Oh, that actually smells like smoke.

407
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,160
Hello, love.
Hi.

408
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,800
What can I do for you?
Can I come in, please?

409
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,760
Mm-hm.
Can I come in, please?

410
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,120
You certainly can.
What's the problem?

411
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:10,200
My parents weren't home and there
was smoke and a fire alarm went off.

412
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,240
Oh, my gosh.

413
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:14,720
(APPLAUSE)

414
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,520
Billy, Ella, Brooklyn,
can you guys just stay here

415
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,200
for about five, ten minutes?
Yep.

416
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,600
We're going to take Bobby
and Bailey, and we'll be back.

417
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:24,760
Five minutes.

418
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,560
In our team parenting style,
we're the coaches.

419
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,320
And if we ever leave the house,

420
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:32,640
the oldest child will
be the assistant coach,

421
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,080
leaving certain people in charge.

422
00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:36,760
It sort of falls in a bit of a
hierarchy.

423
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,440
Whoever's the oldest in
this house, you listen to.

424
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,400
I saw you.
I didn't take any.

425
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:43,480
(ALARM)

426
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,840
Stay here, I'm going to check it.

427
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,560
Stay here.

428
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,560
We have not spoken to
our children about

429
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,240
what to do if there's a fire in the
home.

430
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,320
We have given the children,
they've got near the telephone,

431
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:06,600
the 000 number to call for
help if something happens.

432
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,680
But we've actually never.

433
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,360
We've never ever had
that conversation

434
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,600
about what happens if fire's in the
house.

435
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:13,640
Yeah.
(ALARM CONTINUES)

436
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,600
There's something that smells like
it's on fire.

437
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,040
Just chill.

438
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,960
Oh, crap.

439
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,280
Oh, bleugh.

440
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,760
There's smoke coming from
upstairs in our bedroom...

441
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:33,960
Girls, stop!

442
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,320
Go! No, go sit down.

443
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,720
Dad, a fire alarm just went off.

444
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,480
We went upstairs and it's all
smoking.

445
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,880
Oh, hey, girls. Girls, sit down.

446
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:48,720
Alright, bye.

447
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,840
Girls, we need to go outside.

448
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,840
No, girls, go outside.

449
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:56,560
Oh.

450
00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:01,240
That's the Bill!

451
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,000
It was great to see that team thing
really shine in the way that they

452
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,560
listened to their brother and
the instructions that he was giving.

453
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,000
One thing that really
shone through for me,

454
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,080
your son didn't understand what
was happening or what to do,

455
00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:18,240
and the first thing he
did wasn't go,

456
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:19,560
"Oh no, I'm going to be in the
shitter."

457
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,480
And I think it was I'm
going to call up mum and dad

458
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:22,720
and see what I have to do next.

459
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:23,840
That's excellent.
Yeah.

460
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,880
Yeah, he rang up and he said,
there's a fire.

461
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:26,920
I'm proud.

462
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,640
I was thinking, I got
to check my insurance.

463
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,760
Can we just talk about how
we all thought Deja

464
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,280
dealt with that challenge
at home on her own.

465
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,680
So much I think to unpack with the
way

466
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,640
that she dealt with that situation,

467
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,440
not just the getting out of the
house, being calm,

468
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,160
being rational, the fact that she
knows her neighbour.

469
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,480
And she was so respectful.

470
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:50,880
"Do you mind if I come in?"

471
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,040
I was like, "Get in there, girl."

472
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,280
(LAUGHTER)

473
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,920
Next, how will our final parenting
styles

474
00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:02,200
deal with this smoky situation?

475
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,320
(COUGHS)

476
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,360
Wait for them to come back.
Oh, my God.

477
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,520
As the panel fires up.

478
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,280
I think your son put too
much of a brave face on.

479
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,800
I think he did what
anybody his age would do,

480
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:16,960
go and see if there's a fire.

481
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,280
Any fire, get out of the house.

482
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,280
We're halfway through a critical
life and death challenge,

483
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,720
testing how your kids react
in a house fire situation.

484
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,600
We're looking to see if they evacuate
immediately and call for help.

485
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:43,800
House fires can be deadly.

486
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,960
And our children need
to know three things.

487
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,560
First, listen to the fire alarm.

488
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,000
Second, evacuate safely from
wherever

489
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,640
they are in the house or apartment.

490
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,600
And third, call for help.

491
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,560
Time to see how our other parents
did in the same challenge.

492
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,280
Daddy and I have to go next
door and get something.

493
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:09,840
OK.
Go, go, go.

494
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:12,880
Don't eat anything.

495
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,080
I'll just sit here.

496
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:17,320
I've never wondered how our kids
would go

497
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:20,040
in an emergency, actually, really.

498
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,960
As stage parents, our children,

499
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,640
they've had to be in
many different positions

500
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,560
where they're on their own
or having to think for themselves.

501
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,080
(ALARM)
What's happening?

502
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:34,680
Hold on, River.

503
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,160
An emergency to us might be

504
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,840
forgetting
the lines a number of times,

505
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,040
blowing more than one show with
the same line or something.

506
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,480
We're not fire martial parents.

507
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:44,760
We're stage parents.

508
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,440
(ALARM CONTINUES)

509
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,240
(COUGHS)

510
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:55,120
I saw where it came from.

511
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,320
Where is Daddy and Mommy?

512
00:22:57,360 --> 00:22:58,680
It's not a fire.

513
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,320
Good.

514
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,160
Our room is filling with smoke.
(COUGHS)

515
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,680
Just wait for them to come back.

516
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,400
(COUGHS)

517
00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:17,960
Mridula and Krishna,
we'll be back, OK.

518
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,480
In terms of being spiritual

519
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,680
in an Indian household
where we cook a lot,

520
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,360
we use full kitchens
and also we relight this lamp

521
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,160
for Krishna every morning
and every evening.

522
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,400
See you soon.

523
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,520
(FIRE ALARM BEEPING)

524
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,040
I believe our children are aware of
what steps to take

525
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,320
in a fire emergency.

526
00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:43,600
What's that sound?

527
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,800
A small fire, they can
open all the windows

528
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,920
and blinds and everything,
call for help.

529
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,400
We should call the parents.

530
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:00,720
You have to.

531
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,640
(ALARM CONTINUES)

532
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,760
Smoke!

533
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,480
Smoke emergency!

534
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,600
Smoke upstairs!

535
00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:24,840
Smoke!

536
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,080
We can turn it off. Come.

537
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,280
You get a towel and turn it off.

538
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,360
So you take all the air.

539
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,040
I was surprised that Krishna was
quite slow,

540
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,120
because he's the elder one.

541
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,200
Probably needed to direct
Mridula a lot more.

542
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,880
Do you feel like in this
situation that you aren't

543
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,560
assertive enough towards your
children.

544
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,320
It's beautiful how they educate you,
but there are times like this

545
00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:03,160
there's only one solution to
a problem and that's to get out.

546
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,200
Absolutely.

547
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,360
There's always scope for that.

548
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,760
And obviously I'm learning here
to teach them the right way.

549
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,880
I'm pretty sure any fire you're not
meant to

550
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,280
open up the windows
because it increases -

551
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,040
It lets oxygen in.
Is that right?

552
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,640
It's called flashover.

553
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,880
Yeah, I understood after.

554
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,960
Any fire, Get out of the house.
Yeah, 100%. Get out.

555
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,320
It just made me think too,

556
00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:29,440
Xion also chose not to leave
when he saw the smoke.

557
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,360
I think maybe your son sort
of put too much of a brave face on,

558
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:34,960
and there wasn't
enough urgency there.

559
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,960
Well, I think he did what
anybody at his age would do.

560
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,480
What I would have done is go
and see if there's a fire.

561
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,120
The last thing I want my daughter
to do is, if you smell smoke,

562
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,000
just go and investigate
where that's coming from.

563
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,520
That's just not going to be
part of that conversation.

564
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,480
Just get out of the house
because I can't replace you.

565
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,000
I think we can all agree
that that challenge wasn't

566
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,240
comfortable watching at different
points,

567
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,720
but it is a really important
conversation.

568
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,680
OK, a reminder to our panel parents
to keep taking notes

569
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,240
because we're going to be asking you

570
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,720
to vote for the parenting
style that you think works best.

571
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,800
Which Focus Family will
be the second through

572
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,080
to the final family challenge?

573
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:19,040
There was no knowledge behind fires
for their spiritual family at all.

574
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,160
There was smoke.

575
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,480
He wanted to go and investigate.

576
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,080
He wanted to have
a look what was going on.

577
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:24,800
Fire alarms were going off.

578
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,400
I don't think there had
even been education of

579
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,080
when this beeps,
get out of the house.

580
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,640
I was really impressed with the team
kids.

581
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,040
So the one that had left in charge
really took care of his sisters.

582
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,480
And I think they recognised the
seriousness in his voice

583
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,080
and of the situation.

584
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,320
Alright, before we look at our final
challenge,

585
00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:47,800
there's one more focused family we
need to put under the microscope.

586
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:52,640
Let's learn a little bit more about
Sarah and Shane, our stage parents.

587
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,480
Stage parenting aims to create
confident,

588
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,520
expressive kids ready to take on
anything

589
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,480
with an emphasis on honing
stagecraft.

590
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,560
It can be creative, fun,
and free flowing,

591
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,000
but with high expectations
around performance.

592
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,160
Welcome to our madhouse.

593
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,600
("EVIL" LAUGH))

594
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,040
As stage parents, creating happiness
in the home is pretty easy.

595
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,240
Just make light of life.

596
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,800
Make life a musical.

597
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,720
We're going to make a dance.

598
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,560
Because we are teachers of the
craft,

599
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,880
our kids are pretty much experts
already.

600
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,560
Xion, when he was four or five...

601
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:36,960
Yeah, these are really cool.

602
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,360
..I just knew that he was going
to be extremely successful.

603
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,920
# My friend. #

604
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,400
Now, see if you can sing
the harmony of that.

605
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,720
Alaska performed with Andrea Soprano
when she was seven.

606
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:57,360
OK, we're going to do
something for an audition.

607
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,960
River is probably best known for
his role of Jai in Home and Away.

608
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,560
He absolutely loves it.

609
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,360
If your line was, "Can we go now?"

610
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,880
How would you say it?
Can we go now?

611
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,760
He gets stopped on the street a lot,
which he does not like.

612
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,040
But if there's any rule that we
have,

613
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:16,920
it's being respectful to other
people.

614
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,000
They need to be polite
and say hi to people.

615
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,480
And sometimes I force
him to get photos with people

616
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,040
because I don't want to be rude.

617
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,680
# #

618
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,040
When it comes to performing,
we know there's

619
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,320
plenty of crazy stage parents out
there.

620
00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:31,640
I deal with them every day.

621
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:36,400
But our stage parenting style,
they've had a lot more training

622
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,640
than the average child because
I pick on everything they do.

623
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:44,000
Talent alone is useless
if you don't practice it.

624
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,960
You know, a bike gets rusty
if you don't ride it.

625
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,120
It's that simple.

626
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,560
If our children end up
famous Hollywood actors,

627
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:59,600
they need to buy us a house, a Range
Rover with white leather interior.

628
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,280
They can keep the rest of it,

629
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,720
but as long as they remember
that we started them off.

630
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,560
I loved how confident your kids
were.

631
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,000
Like when they were
performing, they just threw

632
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,840
themselves into it with no
hesitation.

633
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:20,360
I did have one question, though.

634
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,080
You said that you would force him to
take photos

635
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,240
on the street with people.

636
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,720
If he said,
"I don't want to take a photo."

637
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:28,840
Would you still force that?

638
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,480
I wouldn't say force.

639
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,520
It's probably was a bit
of a throwaway line.

640
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,080
But I encourage him to do it
because sometimes

641
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,920
he just like straight out goes
no to people like that.

642
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,480
And I think it's kind of rude.

643
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,600
What if he was to say no,
but politely?

644
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,760
Would you respect his autonomy
in that or would you still say,

645
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,000
"No, this is part of your
job, you need to do it?"

646
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,360
We talked to him about it.

647
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,160
I'll say, "You know what, you
probably made that person's day."

648
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,080
And then it makes him feel good.

649
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,320
There's obviously some sacrifices
you make

650
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,080
for them to follow that passion,
too.

651
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:02,120
Yeah.

652
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,480
I make sure that my kids
get the opportunities.

653
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,880
And if that means I have to start
my own theatre company

654
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,600
so they can rehearse and perform and
get experience, then I did that.

655
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,080
What if they wanted to
become a nurse or a teacher?

656
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,680
Do you feel like you'd put that
same passion into that though,

657
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,080
then you would, because
these are your interests.

658
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,080
I don't care what they do,
as long as they're happy.

659
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,480
We're not the type of stage
parents that want our kids

660
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,400
to be famous or push them
in that direction at all.

661
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,600
They love it.
That's what they want to do.

662
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,080
So the stage parents,
I'm struggling to connect with them

663
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,040
sort of on any level.

664
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,960
I can't relate a lot to how they
parent.

665
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,880
I feel like they put their
kids in the spotlight a lot.

666
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,960
It's just not something that
we could do, that's for sure.

667
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,200
With the stage parents,
one of the really positive things

668
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,680
about the life of our kids lead,

669
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,480
is they are exposed to
a lot of different things.

670
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,360
They have this rich life
that's full of experiences.

671
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,160
Oh, my God.

672
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,120
In tonight's final challenge,
our focus families...

673
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,000
Oh, no, no, no, no.

674
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,560
..face their fears.

675
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:07,720
I don't love snakes.

676
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,280
Could the outcome change the vote?

677
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,480
You're going to be OK.
No way. I'm not doing that.

678
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,000
We have one more challenge to see
before you make the big decision

679
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:32,640
on which of these four parenting
styles will go through to the final.

680
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,160
In this challenge, we sent
your family to a wildlife park

681
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,640
where they were given
a snake-handling experience.

682
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,920
We wanna see how you help your
children do something

683
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:45,840
outside their comfort zone.

684
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,400
As our kids grow and develop,

685
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,280
fears are gonna regularly
present themselves.

686
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,080
If a child can overcome a fear,

687
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,840
that builds character and
resilience,

688
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,160
and they can walk away
feeling 10 feet tall.

689
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,080
But if that fear takes root, it can
hold them back for a lifetime.

690
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,520
Avoidance reinforces anxiety.

691
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,600

00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,960
Come on down.
Look at this guy.

693

I love his head gear.

694
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,920
I got another message.

695
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,200
Would your kids hold a snake?

696
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,720
Show us how you help them overcome
their fears

697
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,280
with a snake handling experience.

698
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,640
Oh, you're looking forward to it.
Yeah, I like snakes.

699
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,280
That means you've gotta
go near a snake, mum.

700
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,920

702
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,800
This challenge isn't
really about the snake,

703
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,560
it's about how the parents help
their child confront a fear.

704
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,440
This is a supervised
situation with a reptile

705
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,400
used to being handled by children.

706
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,280
So please don't try this at home.

707
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,600
Oh my God.
Oh, my God.

708
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,280
I'm gonna cry.

709
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,320
I thought Tisha would be OK,

710
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,440
but yeah, I was genuinely worried
about Deja,

711
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,640
'cause she is not a fan
of any type of creature.

712
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,400
What if I get you guys
to give him a pat first?

713
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:03,760
Oh my God.

714
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,040
You're OK.

715
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:06,600
I'm not a big fan of snakes,

716
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,360
but the influencer style of
parenting it's all about, you know,

717
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,640
putting on a brave face
yourself and showing your kids

718
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,040
how to to act in certain situations.

719
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,160
If we're not stressed and we're
calm,

720
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,320
then that gives them
permission to be calm as well.

721
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,440
Did you guys wanna have the feel
too?

722
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,520
What does he feel like?
He feels like a snake.

00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:29,760
Like a snake.

725
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,320
My biggest tip for getting
kids to face their fears

726
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,720
would be baby steps

727
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,800
and just listening to how they're
feeling

728
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,080
instead of like just throwing them
in the deep end.

729
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,200
Maybe start at the shallow
end and work your way up.

730
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:44,400
Are you OK?
Yeah.

731
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:45,720
Gonna be OK when you hold it,
alright?

732
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,240
See how your sister's just,
like, standing there?

733
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,280
Yeah.

734
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,560
And not really moving,
and I think the first initial

735
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,640
placement of the snake
might freak you out,

736
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,040
but I think you might get used to
it,

737
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,120
and I'm gonna be right next to you,
OK?

738
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,560
OK.

out of their comfort zone,
they're very confident,

and I don't think there's much
that they're actually scared of.

involved that require you to kind of

push down your outward reactions to
things and deal with the situation.

that having a spiritual mindset

gives us the courage
to face our fears.

just taking a few uncomfortable
steps

803
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,880
and expanding
your circle of comfort.

calm you guys were.

I think the Stage parents
kind of shined there,

809
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,920
because you have trained them to
be out of their comfort zone.

810
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,280
They're not scared of anything.

811
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,080
But we're not scared of anything
either.

812
00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:59,600

back to,

And we're confident.

00:37:04,240 --> 00:37:07,160
You can just see that confidence,
and they're just...

you must be so proud of Deja.

how scared she was.

You could see that in her eyes.

820
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,080
And to overcome that is no small
feat.

821
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:26,080
You give them such clear,
concise direction.

822
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,160
If you want to,
you just say yes or no.

of communication open always.

to speak

to you about how they're feeling.

00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,120

that.

00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:36,600
then all of a sudden, I reckon

00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,000
No, Baylee it's not gonna bite ya.

865
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:20,640
Mummy.

866
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,880
But then when I saw Baylee was
scared to hold the snake,

867
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:26,760
I don't wanna pass
my fear on to her.

868
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,680
Leanne, this is one of those times
where you've gotta be the adult.

869
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,320
I'm getting in there with her.

870
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,160
Here, I'll help, I'll help,
I'll help you.

871
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,840
Look, look.

872
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,640
We'll try again.
Ready?

873
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:39,880
I'll do it with her like this.

874
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,400
Look, put it around both of our
heads.

875
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,040
Oh, wow that's massive.

876
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,400
Oh so much fun, oh, so much fun.

877
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,080
Oh wow.

878
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:52,240
That's awesome, Lee.

879
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,000
Good job, mum.
Wow.

880
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,600
Hold it, hold it, Baylee, Baylee.
Baylee put you're hand there.

881
00:39:58,640 --> 00:39:59,840
Oh wow!

882
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:02,960
When I was with her,

883
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,960
then she wanted to be a part
of that same experience.

884
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,000
Look!

885
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:08,240
I didn't want her to miss out.

886
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,680
Oh wow.

887
00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:12,200
You're so lucky.

888
00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:14,960
When Leanne put her own fears aside,
she led by example.

889
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,880
That's not the first time
she's done it in the family.

890
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,720
All her life is about her
children and making sacrifices

891
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,120
to make sure that they
get every opportunity.

892
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:26,320
That's awesome.

893
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,120
Our whole family participated.

894
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,520
There was some with hesitation,
some with fear,

895
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,920
but they got over that obviously
with the help of mum.

896
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:36,680
I did it with you.

897
00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:38,680
Very much a big success.
Yeah.

898
00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:41,440
A very big team effort.
Yeah.

899
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:42,720
Well done mum.

900
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:44,960
You're very calm.

901
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,680
Oh, well done.
Look at what you're doing to us.

902
00:40:46,720 --> 00:40:49,040
You made us cry.
You're making us all weepy.

903
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:50,720
I was chicken so bad.

904
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,840
You were clearly so scared.

905
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,520
And then Baylee needed you
and you were like, alright, I'm in.

906
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,400
Mark and Leanne, you have
a relationship that you model

907
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,800
the team environment to
your children as well.

908
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,160
Like the way that you spoke
to your wife and said,

909
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,320
"Now's one of the times that
you need to be an adult."

910
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,200
Like you encourage your wife as much
as you encourage your children,

911
00:41:11,240 --> 00:41:14,400
and I think it's really evident
in the way that they act

912
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,400
with each other that they've watched
you and learned from you.

913
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:18,920
We've gotta constantly support each
other.

914
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:19,960
Yeah.

915
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,360
And like especially with that many
kids.

916
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:22,480
Mark is great like that, though.

917
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,040
Team parents, I just wanna
be a part of that family.

918
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:28,160
I love big families.

919
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:29,600
But what I really loved

920
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,000
was the fact that mum's just jumped
on in there

921
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:33,680
put it around
herself as well

922
00:41:33,720 --> 00:41:36,200
just so they can have a really
successful outcome.

923
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:39,480
Emotions are contagious.

924
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,760
Our children will catch our
fears as we communicate them

925
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,360
whether we do it intentionally
or not.

926
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:50,480
As parents, we set the emotional
climate in our families,

927
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,120
especially when it comes
to fears and anxieties.

928
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,400
If we get upset in times of stress,

929
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,840
then our kids are gonna
reflect those emotions.

930
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,680
But if we can stay calm
and level-headed under pressure,

931
00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:05,040
our kids learn to regulate their
emotions

932
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,520
by watching us regulate ours.

933
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,200
Guess what guys?

934
00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:15,200
We have now seen all of our
focus parents challenges.

935
00:42:15,240 --> 00:42:16,840
Thank you so much.

936
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,440
(APPLAUSE)

937
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,800
Panel parents,
tonight is decision night.

938
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,120
Kat, our honest parent,

939
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,960
was the first to be voted through to
the final challenge.

940
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,080
Now, we're gonna find
out who's joining her.

941
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,880
OK, focus parents, could
you please step outside?

942
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:38,920
(APPLAUSE)

943
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:40,520
Well done, guys.
Well done.

944
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:43,760
When people hear the word
influencer,

945
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,320
they automatically have this unfair
opinion

946
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:47,880
of what influencers do,

947
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,000
but influencer parenting works.

948
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,800
Our whole lifestyle is performing.

949
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,440
We are definitely preparing
our children for real life

950
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,920
and we think we're
pretty freaking awesome.

951
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,200
OK, panel parents,
let's gather around.

952
00:43:04,240 --> 00:43:05,600
We've got a lot to talk about.

953
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,240
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

954
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,360
Who was best in show tonight?

955
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,280
Who do you wanna see face
the final challenge?

956
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:23,600
Let's start with Sarah and Shane,
our Stage parents.

957
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,040
Weenis.

958
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,080
That's the elbow.

959
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,360
He'll find you like a tree.

960
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:31,800
Big smile.

961
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:33,280
Perfect.

962
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,640
Can we go now?

963
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,000
He gets stopped on the street a lot.

964
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,000
I force him to get photos with
people.

965
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,920
Don't forget,
neither of us eat carbs.

966
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,800
If you wanna be a Hollywood
actor and be all buff and hot,

967
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,480
then you need to watch what you eat.

968
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,640
I love their confidence,

969
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,120
but I do wonder how much autonomy
those kids have.

970
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,560
And if they agree to go on the job,
are they then stuck having to take

971
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,760
photos with people when the stage
aspect takes over real life?

972
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,600
To me, that's worrying.

973
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:12,080
They've chosen a lifestyle and with
that lifestyle comes nutrition,

974
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,920
looking good in front of
a camera, signing autographs,

975
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,400
signing up for the whole package.

976
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,280
There is space for people
with different types of bodies

977
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:21,800
within the industry
they work in

978
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,680
and they could choose to have
a healthier approach

979
00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:26,920
to how they deal with that with
their kids I think.

980
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:28,480
100%.

981
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,080
Next.

982
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,800
Let's find out who is going
through to the final.

983
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,000
It's the moment of truth.

984
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:37,920
There are some gaps in their
parenting.

985
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,720
I think they're in like
a little social media bubble

986
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,720
and that bubble might burst.

987
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:49,160
As our panel votes for
our second finalist.

988
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,320
Tonight is decision night.

989
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,400
Our panel parents need to choose
which parenting style works best

990
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:11,440
and who will go through to
the final where it gets even tougher.

991
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,400
Let's talk about Mark and Leanne,
our Team parents.

992
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,160
Alright, are we ready to go to
training?

993
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:17,200
KIDS: Yes.
Alright.

994
00:45:17,240 --> 00:45:18,240
Let's go.

995
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,600
I'm gonna leave Matty in charge
because he's the oldest.

996
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,160
Ella, do you want chicken?
No.

997
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:23,960
That's beef that you
have in the spaghetti?

998
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,600
Yes, I want that one.

999
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,480
So we'll get chicken and we'll get
beef because Ella wants beef.

1000
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:29,960
I'll do it with her like this.

1001
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,640
Look, put it around both of us.

1002
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,840
Ah, it's so much fun.

1003
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,280
No girls, go, go outside.

1004
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,080
Oh!

1005
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:41,800
I wanna be in their family.

1006
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:42,920
It's always joyous.

1007
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:44,320
It's always fun.

1008
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,920
They work beautifully together
in that team environment,

1009
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,240
it's really, it's really special.

1010
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,200
I love this concept of being a team.

1011
00:45:52,240 --> 00:45:53,960
So everybody has a part to play,

1012
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,040
but I can see also that they don't
get the chance

1013
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,480
to try out other roles
which might be beneficial for them.

1014
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:05,560
Let's talk about Jonathon and Kat,
our Influencer parents.

1015
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:09,680
Both our children have
social media accounts.

1016
00:46:09,720 --> 00:46:11,240
What should we do next, guys?

1017
00:46:12,240 --> 00:46:15,520
If they don't feel comfortable
talking to me face to face,

1018
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,920
they can talk to me via text
message,

1019
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:19,960
they can even message me on
Snapchat.

1020
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,680
Our rules around technology
are basically non-existent.

1021
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,920
You can't restrict your kids
from using the internet.

1022
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,400
I think our role as parents
is to educate them

1023
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,600
on how to use it
and how to use it safely.

1024
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,440
Yeah, they've got
a really honest approach.

1025
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,400
Yeah, she used her life lessons
to educate her children,

1026
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,520
which is the best way to educate
anybody.

1027
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:48,400
Yeah, they communicate really
amazingly with each other.

1028
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,840
They went above my expectations,
actually.

1029
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:54,360
But from our sort of a lifestyle,

1030
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,800
we would never just give
the kids an iPad and go,

1031
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,240
"Hey, go look at whatever you
want on YouTube."

1032
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:00,280
No way.

1033
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:06,040
And I think they're gonna be in
a little social media bubble,

1034
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,200
and that bubble might burst,

1035
00:47:08,240 --> 00:47:10,520
and I am a little bit worried about
those kids.

1036
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:15,480
Let's talk about Deepak and Kajal,
our Spiritual parents.

1037
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:20,200
KIDS: # Hare Rama, Hare Rama. #

1038
00:47:20,240 --> 00:47:24,000
We teach them, to be honest,
be kind, don't hurt each other.

1039
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:26,680
Who do you think?
We have to choose one person?

1040
00:47:26,720 --> 00:47:27,880
Do you want to pick?

1041
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:29,200
Alright.
Him.

1042
00:47:29,240 --> 00:47:30,320
Yes.
Yeah.

1043
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,760
They teach us every day.
Every day.

1044
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:34,960
We all learn from each other.
Yes.

1045
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:38,480
You gonna hit the car. Stop.

1046
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,200
No, that's straight.
Just go reverse. That's it.

1047
00:47:40,240 --> 00:47:42,160
You're gonna hit the car.
(BANG)

1048
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:44,400
You didn't listen to her.

1049
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,000
OK, tell me, where does the babies
come from?

1050
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:47,240
Ooh.
Yeah. Show me.

1051
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:48,600
They come from the belly.

1052
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,120
Smoke emergency.
(ALARM)

1053
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:52,680
Now, come here, come.

1054
00:47:52,720 --> 00:47:53,880
We can turn it off. Come.

1055
00:47:56,280 --> 00:48:00,200
I wrote down the spiritual
family really focus

1056
00:48:00,240 --> 00:48:02,840
on intrinsic values
from their own culture.

1057
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,920
Yeah, and having a strong
sense of self

1058
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:09,440
and being able to be spiritual and
have that to lean on

1059
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,520
is something
that you need in a hectic,

1060
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,200
busy, crazy life where things happen

1061
00:48:13,240 --> 00:48:14,720
that you don't know how to deal with

1062
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,320
With Deepak and Kajal,
I think they're doing

1063
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,040
a really wonderful job
overall of parenting.

1064
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:23,760
I think there's some gaps in
their parenting that we've seen.

1065
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,080
I really felt like when they hit the
car,

1066
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,000
they didn't let her have a voice.
SEVERAL PARENTS: Yes.

1067
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:30,720
And it's all about this
equilibrium, right...?

1068
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:32,800
Yes.
..and she really lost her voice.

1069
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:37,000
And I feel like that challenge was
specifically listen to the child,

1070
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:38,080
and the child had no voice.

1071
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,080
And she was right, you know?

1072
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,200
But I feel like they're
willing to take that on.

1073
00:48:43,240 --> 00:48:44,280
MOST PARENTS: Yeah.

1074
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,480
There are going to be
lessons learned from this.

1075
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,080
And I think that's what we
need to focus on

1076
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,160
because I think that's
where growth is found.

1077
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,400
OK, time to vote.

1078
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,960
Take your notebooks,
head back to your seats,

1079
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:00,800
and write down which parenting style
do you think was the most effective.

1080
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:04,600
And who do you want to see move
through to the final round?

1081
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,160
The spiritual parents have
a really nice energy.

1082
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,680
Like you can't help but smile and
sort of feel at ease around them.

1083
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:20,280
I think stage parenting approach is
lovely and I think that it teaches

1084
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,800
kids to be confident and because
they all do it together,

1085
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:24,960
that's a nice way to
come together as well.

1086
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,440
Jonathan and Kat
integrated the influencing

1087
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,760
into experiences with their kids,

1088
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:34,160
which I think is what
we really love to see.

1089
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,960
Tency and David,
we've got our outback votes.

1090
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,360
I have a feeling that you've written
this gently, gentle parents.

1091
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,520
And mine's very abrupt.
I'm sure it's honest, Kat.

1092
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:48,360
Team parents, they're fun,
they're united, they're strong.

1093
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,120
They've got a good family unit.

1094
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:51,440
You don't have to unpack that.

1095
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:52,840
It's very obvious.

1096
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:58,360
OK, let's find out who is
going through to the final.

1097
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:02,080
Where we've got bigger
and better challenges to come.

1098
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,480
Focus parents, Come back in.

1099
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:05,960
(APPLAUSE)

1100
00:50:13,720 --> 00:50:16,400
Your peers have talked it through.

1101
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:21,000
Now we're going to find out who's
joining Kat in the final challenge.

1102
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:26,200
Focus parents,
time for the moment of truth.

1103
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:40,000
Mark and Leanne, our Team parents,
are going through to the final.

1104
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:46,280
Thanks, guys.
Thank you.

1105
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,360
Yay! We got through the final.

1106
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,000
It's going to be awesome.

1107
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:51,120
So happy. So happy.

1108
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:52,320
Hopefully, we can win it.

1109
00:50:53,720 --> 00:50:55,520
Hey, guys, really well done.

1110
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:56,880
I'm so happy.

1111
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,120
You seem really surprised, though.
I am.

1112
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,720
I think everybody here has brought
something to the table, though.

1113
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:03,040
Absolutely.

1114
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,880
Next time we've got a brand
new set of challenges

1115
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:10,200
and our final set of
parents in the hot seat.

1116
00:51:10,240 --> 00:51:13,040
Another round of applause for
all of our focus parents.

1117
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,400
Next time...
Yeah, baby.

1118
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,160
..our final set of focus parents...

1119
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:22,520
We are the road school parents.

1120
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:24,440
American, just totally American.

1121
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:25,720
We're a slow parenting family.

1122
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:27,680
An unstructured approach to
parenting.

1123
00:51:27,720 --> 00:51:29,480
(SCREAMS)

1124
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:30,840
..come out swinging.

1125
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,560
I'm not listening to you because
you're not listening to me.

1126
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:34,600
I am.

1127
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,960
There can be detriment to
pushing your kids too hard.

1128
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:41,440
With the most shocking challenges
yet.

1129
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,200
I have a good delivery for your mom.

1130
00:51:43,240 --> 00:51:45,080
Do you mind if I just put it inside?
It's really heavy?

1131
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:46,600
Um...

1132
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,520
At a real life situation,
you're gone already.

1133
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:51,120
That guy has snatched you.

1134
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:54,160
