I 14 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 2: think at the time that was where we were talking 15 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 2: about would your child go off with a stranger? Oh? Yeah, 16 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 2: And so it was pretty intense. It was pretty intense 17 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 2: when everyone sitting there said, look, there's no way my 18 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 2: kids would and then just watching how that whole challenge 19 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 2: played out, I wasn't the only one crying in the room. 20 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 2: By the way, it really full on is is there 21 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 2: a right way? Like? 22 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 3: Is there a right way to treat some kids? And 23 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 3: do you need to change your parenting styles to suit 24 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 3: another child? 25 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 2: Look? I reckon so and I'm just speaking from personal 26 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 2: experience right now the experts, Well, yeah, look, you know 27 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 2: what I am. I think I'm on the show because 28 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 2: I'm the example of a bad parent. That's what I 29 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 2: wrote to hang on now, I'm just an all clicked 30 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 2: about episode two. The reason why I was part of 31 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 2: this experiment. 32 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: Well see, but see, Ali, the number one thing that 33 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: I take out of this show is no one likes 34 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: to be told how to parent their own children. So 35 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: you have got so many different types of parenting styles 36 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: on the show from different families. There must do you. 37 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 2: Even know there were so many different styles. It's like, 38 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 2: you know, there's helicopter. You've got tiger parents, free range routine. 39 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 2: We've got parents who are nature parents, so you know 40 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: they live in. 41 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: Ten what's helicopter? What's helicopter? 42 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 3: Pary like that? 43 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: Oh, it's where you hold up, That's where you're constantly saying, 44 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: be careful, don't do that. Watch And I've worked out 45 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: where my husband and I Mike Narram little. 46 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: Bit helicopter right, Yeah, because I feel like I'm in 47 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: that stage at the moment, and all I'm saying to 48 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: my boys is don't do this. Have better manners here, 49 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: have a bit of respect. 50 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know what there are and you look 51 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 2: at all these different parenting styles on the show, and 52 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 2: as you can imagine, it gets pretty heated at different 53 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,839 Speaker 2: times when when you're sort of focusing in on certain techniques. 54 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 2: But that was one great thing that I took out 55 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 2: of it all. I'm definitely a better parent because of this, right, 56 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 2: and just trying to just just not say no and 57 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 2: stop and like every time I say be careful, what 58 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 2: message does that send to the kids? Oh, what you're 59 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: doing is really dangerous? Yep, you know, maybe they'll fall 60 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 2: out of the tree. Maybe well, you know, but sometimes 61 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 2: you've got to let go a little bit. 62 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: Well, I want to ask about the strict parenting style. 63 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: Why is Andrew and Miriam from New South Wales. Why 64 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: are they in the strict parenting style? Can you give 65 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: us an example of how strict they are. 66 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 2: They are very consistent with their rules and they smack, 67 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 2: and they smack with a wooden spirit. Wow, it's one 68 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: of the tools in the tool kids. So it's not 69 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 2: something they do all the time. So that is something 70 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 2: if they threaten it, they will carry through. And they 71 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: are also if you drop your towel, say on the 72 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 2: bathroom or you leave your towel on the bathroom floor. 73 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 2: You lose the towel, there's no towel. There are natural 74 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 2: consequences for what you do. 75 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: Wow, they must be controversial on the show. There must 76 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: be a lot of other parents that are not happy 77 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: with that. 78 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 2: Well, as you can imagine, Well, once they sort of 79 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: raise that they smack, there was a whole lot of 80 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 2: emotion in the room, and a lot of that emotion 81 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: came from parents who'd maybe been smacked as kids and 82 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 2: had really strong feelings about it. And there's a bit 83 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 2: of a yet that's probably one of the most contentious 84 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 2: moments in the show. Sure when that is raised, and 85 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 2: who does smack and who doesn't? Because I mean, I 86 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: don't know, Will you guys smack? Good kids? 87 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 3: I was, Yeah, I got hit so hard one time. 88 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 3: There was like a handprint on my bum and. 89 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: I'm sorry about it. Sorry about that. That was That 90 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: was mum. 91 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 3: That was a completely different story. It was at Level 92 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 3: six at the IVY. But you know the other one 93 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 3: that I like, that one, Yeah, that was awesome. My god, 94 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 3: I actually got that tattooed on my bum. You know, 95 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 3: the one that I find unbelieveable unbelievably effective and so 96 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 3: simple is the count. So guys, I need I need 97 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 3: you in the bar in three two doesn't. 98 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: Work with us for you, hear though, that's the thing 99 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: we do it to you regularly. 100 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 3: I thought we were going to the news, but it is. 101 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: I think our parents Ali were that generation it was 102 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: okay to smack and but now I wouldn't even think 103 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: about doing it with the boys. And don't get me wrong, 104 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: they roll me up so much to a certain point, 105 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: but that's the last thing on my mind to give 106 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: them a little smack on the bum. 107 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 2: Look, I'm with you, and I'm at the point where 108 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 2: I've got a two and a four year old and 109 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 2: they just swallop each other all the time. How do 110 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 2: I turn around and tell them? They would you know, 111 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 2: time out there? You go go sit on the step 112 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 2: because you just punched your sister in the eye, which 113 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 2: happened yesterday. If I then learn around an Ice mack 114 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 2: So that's my personal. 115 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 1: Exactly, I agree. I agree. 116 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 2: I also want to point out with our strict parents, 117 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 2: like a lot of people watching this will will resonate 118 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: with them and will agree with what they do. But 119 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 2: everyone on the show loves their kids and striving to 120 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 2: raise the very best little human beings. And all their 121 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 2: kids are amazing. I think that's kind of important to 122 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: point out too. 123 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: Can you just with the nature parents as well, the 124 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: ones that live in the tent. Can you give us 125 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: another example of their parenting style. 126 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: Ali, they un school, so they don't home school. They 127 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 2: so they've got kids who can't read or write yet 128 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 2: they will learn in their. 129 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: Own time, So they will learn when they're ready to learn, when. 130 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 2: They're ready to learn. And the thing is, they've got 131 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: like an eleven year old who can read a Harry 132 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 2: Potter book who couldn't read when they were nine. So 133 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 2: you know, there's there's a whole lot of it. Yeah, 134 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 2: and all the different techniques you'll actually take something out 135 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 2: of each of them. Yeah, I'm going to go and 136 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 2: live in a tent. I'd like to make that very 137 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 2: That's good. 138 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 3: I'm still learning to write. 139 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: I think when Mike gets home late some nights, he 140 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: has to sleep in a tent out the back, doesn't he. 141 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 2: I mean, mate, if he was lucky that in. 142 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 3: See, I'm fascinated about this great idea for a show. 143 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: This is it is fantastic girls, It's really good.
