What Parents Need to Know
About Kidspace
Parents need to know that kids who watch this series, especially younger ones, are going to want these rooms. Badly. Older kids might watch just for the entertainment and to get ideas, but viewers in the lower grades will just see a room that's infinitely more interesting than their own and start asking why they can't have what they're seeing on TV.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why the parents end up doing all the work. Shouldn't the kids be contributing some labor for their dream play room? With older kids, families can even discuss some of the more dubious economic rationales -- i.e. "we won't buy another door, because doors are too expensive, but we will have the carpenter build one." How much will a few hours of a carpenter's time cost a family who isn't getting the labor for free? Do you really think these projects are that easy, or that quick? Do you think most people can do it at home? Many episodes also teach one of the most valuable DIY lessons: Measure twice, cut once.
