What Parents Need to Know
About Hope for Your Home
Parents need to know that although this show is about families, its real estate focus means that it probably won't be too interesting to younger kids. And it's possible that some of the families' struggles might be stressful for kids whose own parents are dealing with financial challenges. There's some mild language, including the word "ass." In at least one case, traditional gender roles seem to be reinforced, with a man doing all the work and his wife barely participating.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether this show presents a realistic way of dealing with serious financial problems. Do you think it offers practical help for people who aren't on television? If kids are upset by the idea of people potentially losing their homes -- a very real fear in today's world -- reassure them about your home's security. Or, if foreclosure is a possibility for your family, ask your kids about their worries and talk them through.
