How did the kids fare on the challenges on The Parent Test?

Tonight's episode of The Parent Test saw the final three sets of parenting styles - Day Family (Free Range), McCoy Family (Disciplined), and Wynne Family (New Age) - and had their kids react to different challenges and circumstances presented to them.

The official synopsis of the second part of the season finale, titled America's Most Effective Style of Parenting, read:

"The final two challenges of the season tackle some of the biggest obstacles families face today."

The synopsis continued to describe the challenges and said:

"In the Bullying challenge, we observe how kids react when they see someone else being victimized. And the Joyride challenge will take families to the Disneyland Resort, where we see how the final three parenting styles manage their time and make decisions and compromises to keep everyone happy at the Happiest Place on Earth."

For the bullying challenge on The Parent Test, the parents saw their kids react to fellow kids being bullied. All three parents' kids spoke up about the issue and tried to politely make the bullies (kid actors hired by the production) understand. All three families were successful in the first challenge.

The second challenge saw the families visit DisneyLand and see how their kids behaved. Andrea McCoy had a happy news for her daughter. The parent revealed that she was pregnant, which received a happy response from her daughter, Star.

Day Family's kids rode on the ride, although one of them was initially scared. With the Wynne family, one of their kids couldn't go on the rides because of his height, but his other siblings were extremely supportive of it.

By the end of The Parent Test, the parents voted for Andrea and her Disciplined style of parenting and crowned her the winner.
