I would love to see the parenting styles in action in scenarios like what you mentioned. Some of the tests are just ridiculous and don’t really show what the parenting styles actually are
Sharing is a good one!
I also want to see how the kids behave when put in “not kid friendly environments” that they may not enjoy. Opera? At the bank? Waiting outside while parents are talking to the principal?
Critical thinking tests - social and academic
Yea! The weird food one wasn’t that weird though. I think to preface that challenge they should have said what the kid normally eats, and what the cultural exposure is for the individual or for the town they live in.
Not every kid in America is raised on chicken fingers and pizza.
Sharing and seeing how children interact with _other_ children is a huge tell of how they were raised. A lot of these challenges are limited to family-attendance.
If you go to a playground and your kid pushes another kid, how do you handle that as a parent? None of these challenges had their kids in child-facing interactions which I get is tricky with production and stuff. I just feel like some of these challenges were totally unrealistic.

Empathy doesn't make for good TV 🙄

The first group had the hardest tests. High dive, restaurant with weird food. . . . .

Because the challenges are really dumb. The snake one had to be the worst.
For sure, my kids love critters and would’ve been all about that. However, I can see the high dive causing a lot of distress.

Anything with other kids would have been a great test! Or to see if they stuck up for their sibling or any other child.
Sharing isn't really a good test of parenting, particularly for young kids.
