What Parents Need to Know

About Hogan Knows Best

Parents need to know that the family talks openly about their issues. This includes birth control, sex (or lack thereof), boys/girls in the kids' rooms, privacy, dating, and overprotective parenting. The teenagers are starting to deal with having a celebrity father (Hulk Hogan was a famous wrestler in the '80s) while also trying to start their own entertainment careers. Keeping the kids grounded and level-headed is their parents' top priority.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how the Hogan kids are affected by fame compared to other celebrities' children. How has their parents' involvement shaped their reality? Are Mom and Dad too overprotective? Does anything in the Hogan household reflect how your kids are treated? What do teens think about the family's communication habits?
