The World's Strictest Parents

This show gives some useful insight into the lives of various settled families in different cultures around the world. You get to see how functional families work and how their rule systems provide a stable framework for a harmonious family life.

The kids are all dysfunctional, mostly from divorced families in the UK, uncontrollable, psychotic, spoilt, etc.

Usually, the kids have some life realisations during their week in a new environment and get some insight and improvement in their lives before returning home to the UK.

Unfortunately, the format of the show is a bit repetitive and each episode gets predictable; each show has the same elements, the host families are equally nice, the kids equally psychotic...
