Australia’s most troublesome teenagers will find themselves on a cultural collision course in Channel Seven’s new factual program WORLD’S STRICTEST PARENTS.

In this new fly-on-the-wall series no family should miss, WORLD’S STRICTEST PARENTS will pair head-strong Aussie teens with strict parents overseas. Each week two teens will be sent overseas to live with parents who believe in discipline and respect. Our overseas families span as far and wide as the USA, Ireland, Singapore and South Africa.

These parents have tough rules. And even tougher punishments. It’s a brave new world for these out of control youngsters as they learn to live by someone else’s rules.

No swearing, no smoking, no wild parties and early curfews. Can seven days of tough love tame our wild teens? Or will these no-nonsense parents meet their match? Our Aussie parents are desperate to find out.

The show’s executive producer Sonya Wilkes believes the program offers teens that have gone off the rails a final chance to turn their lives around before it’s too late. "The families overseas have very definite views on how they think teens should be brought up," Sonya says says. "Often the teens come back home reformed and willing to improve their behaviour and relationships at home.”
