Families required for Channel 4 documentary series

CHANNEL 4 DOCUMENTARY FOR TEENAGERS AND PARENTS: TEEN DIARIES
RDF Television, the BAFTA award winning producers of Faking It, Perfect Match and Shipwrecked are producing a new documentary series for and about teenagers and their parents for Channel 4. RDF also made a very successful series called Living By The Book, where people road-tested various self-help books. Feel free to check out our website at www.rdfmedia.com
This brand new series will give three young people aged 15-17, who would like to enjoy some space away from home, the opportunity of spending three weeks with another family. The young person will select this family based on issues that they may wish to explore at home (for example, communication problems or needing more or less structure to their day to day lives). The idea of the exercise is to give them the chance to reflect and improve on their relationships with their parent(s) having lived under different rules and learned new ways of communicating/ living in a family. Viewers at home will relate to these common issues and it will hopefully open up lots of discussion. It’s not just about issues but also about differences within different family structures.
We’ve spoken to a fun 16 year old girl who lives with in Crouch End who would love to experience a bigger family – she’s an only child with a very liberal mother. She would also love to have a bit more structure and some rules to adhere to. If you would be interested in hearing more about this I would be very grateful if you could call me this week for a chat.
We are also looking for teenagers who think they might benefit from this experience.
