The Parent Test

- Season 1

Families take on the "high dive challenge" and the "yes day challenge."

Families take on the Fine Dining Challenge and the Home Alone Challenge; parents help their kids adapt to unfamiliar situations; the kids are met with an unexpected visitor.

Strict, high achievement, free range and negotiation parenting styles take front and center; the parents cope with their own anxiety when they are forced to relinquish control to their kids.

Strict, high achievement, free range and negotiation parents remain in the hot seat and brave challenges; the families also weigh in on the hot button topic of spanking.

Disciplined, traditional, child-led and helicopter parents take the spotlight as their families face the equally unnerving Facts of Life and Snake Alert challenges.

Disciplined, traditional, child-led and helicopter parents take the spotlight as their families face the Unexpected Pick-Up and Driving Me Crazy challenges.

Intensive, new age and natural families face the Kid in a Candy Store and No Escape Room challenges.

Strict, high achievement and free-range families return to the hot seat for a new set of challenges that tests the kid's abilities to function without their parents.

Disciplined, traditional and child-led parenting styles take center stage; kids decide how their parents dress for a professional photo shoot; families must face fear and frustration when they are trapped in a seemingly endless maze.

The final 2 challenges of the season tackle some of the biggest obstacles families face; kids are observed while seeing someone else being bullied; one family takes home the title of the "Most Effective Parenting Style."
