After a hugely successful first season in 2019 RTÉ One’s Raised by the Village is back for a new four part series on Sunday March 24th at 6:30pm and this time urban teenagers will stay in Tipperary amongst other rural locations. Each episode of this Irish-developed parenting format features two urban families who need major help with a teenager veering-off-the-rails and are taking drastic steps to get it.
In the past, there was no internet, no parenting manuals and no behavioral psychologists. You relied on the village and their collective wisdom to figure out your parenting problems.
Under the guidance of one of Irelands top psychotherapists, Dr. Richard Hogan, these families are moving their teen to the heart of the countryside allowing them to be raised by a village. But will the teens learn to behave better when they’re part of a tight-knit community where the local adults keep a very close eye on what they get up to?
This new series sees eight urban teenagers from Dublin, Limerick, Drogheda and Mullingar embraced by remotely located rural families in counties Clare, Tipperary, Kerry, Roscommon, Cavan and Cork.
The teenagers live with local families and take part in local activities, experiencing an early-to-rise, wi-fi free outdoor lifestyle that’s a million miles away from their worlds of Playstation, TikTok, fast food, late nights and all-day lie-ins.
An immersive new take on the tv parenting programme, Raised by the Village is for every Irish parent who’s ever wondered if raising their kids in a slower-paced, more community-centred environment might make a real difference?
Tune into Raised By The Village on Sunday, March 24th at 6:30pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
