DailyWire+ Releases ‘Parental Roles’: An Early Look At Jordan Peterson’s New ‘Parenting’ Series

Ahead of the highly anticipated release of Dr. Jordan Peterson’s “Parenting,” DailyWire+ released a 16-minute-long mini-episode on Wednesday, giving viewers a glimpse of the important questions and hard conversations covered in the series. 

Parenting isn’t a theory — it’s a daily test of character. In “Parental Roles,” Peterson meets with real parents navigating the joys and struggles of raising children. From discipline and play to guilt, sacrifice, and step-parenting, Peterson offers timeless insights rooted in clinical psychology and lived experience. If you’re a parent — or planning to be — this is where your journey begins.

In the new, powerful 5-part series, “Parenting,” Peterson will draw from decades of clinical practice to offer essential guidance on raising children in a world that rarely tells the truth. From discipline to identity, from boundaries to responsibility, Dr. Peterson distills the core principles every parent must understand — what it means to be a father, what it means to be a mother, and how to help your child become someone capable of adventure, accountability, and purpose.

“Parental Roles” is available for everyone on DailyWire+ and YouTube. In the episode, Peterson sits down with parents to discuss the important distinctions between the roles of mothers and fathers.

“Just being a parent, nothing I was ever interested in prior to this really is worthy of my time or concern at this moment,” one young mother tells Peterson. “I don’t know if that will last forever, and I’m curious about how things like my career, the things I have been doing outside of the house, relationships, other things I’m involved in now work into our lives. And I’m very open to the answer being, ‘You sacrifice it.’” 

Later in the episode, a young man sits down with Peterson and tells him that he is engaged to marry a woman who already has a two-year-old son. 

“Which means that I’m going to be an instant father to a toddler,” he says. “Which raises a few questions for me. What is a father? Is it something that you are, or is it a role that you can step into like I’m about to?”

Episode 1 of “Parenting” will premiere exclusively on DailyWire+ on Sunday, May 25.
