ABC's latest parenting show, The Parent Test, will premiere on Thursday, December 15, at 10 pm ET. The show will feature 12 parents with very different parenting styles trying to come up with a new and modern approach for raising kids by having tough conversations and performing various challenges with their children.
Comedian Ali Wentworth and psychologist Dr. Adolph Brown will help the The Parent Test contestants come to a conclusion and design the challenges assigned to the children and parents. Wentworth will host the show while Dr. Brown will ensure that parents continue to learn new skills throughout the show.
Other than developing new skills, the 12 parents will also open up about their personal traumas and struggles in life.

More about The Parent Test
As seen in the trailer for The Parent Test, host Ali Wentworth will lead a conversation between parenting expert Dr. Brown and the other parents, whose parenting styles range from living a nomadic lifestyle to achievement-based parenting.
Dr. Brown will himself perform some tasks with the kids and give challenges to the families to help them figure out the "correct" way of raising kids.
At the end of the show, parents might figure out a new-modern parenting style to raise happy, healthy children through discussions on hot-button topics like spanking.
