Parents Rule |
|
‘World Strictest Parents’ shoots in Manila
|
|
By Johanna M. Sampan Reporter
Some parents give tough love—punishment like
groundings, curfews and strict house rules. It worked on them; it
should work for their children. Each new generation passes on to the
next generation its lessons and its hang-ups, its values and its
guilt, its character and its neurosis, its experiences and its
traumas. But as English poet Samuel Butler noted in 1662, “Spare
the rod and spoil the child.” And nobody in the world wants
spoiled children.
Believing that parenting is a 24-hour duty,
British Broadcasting Corp. (BBC) conceptualized a reality show
touted as “World Strictest Parents.” This television series is
all about the values of parenting and cultural differences around
the world. In each episode, two British teenagers are sent to live
with a family abroad, to experience life in their country under
their rules. On the pilot episode, the BBC sent spoiled teenagers to
countries such as Jamaica, India, Ghana and South Africa.
