Parents need to know that, taking off from the Trading Spaces phenomenon, this show has teams of boys and girls redecorate each other's rooms with the help of carpenters and designers. The best part of the show is seeing how the kids try to make the rooms reflect their occupant's personalities, using wonderful insight into their likes and dislikes. The gender stereotypes are kept to a minimum, and the end results are very happy.

Families can talk about making over your kid’s room as well. Together you could brainstorm creative (and inexpensive) ways to make your child's room reflect his or her interests and personality. You might want to ask your kids why they think it's so important for their rooms to reflect who they are.
