Summary
I sat down with Cat & Nat from the stunning Club Med Miches Playa Esmeralda in the Dominican Republic to talk about something every parent of a tween or teen is navigating right now… screens, social media, and what’s actually happening online.
We dive into their “Common Parent” guide and break down the most popular apps kids are using today, and what parents might not realize about them.
We talk about:
- The social media apps your kids are using (and what you need to know)
- The parental control options most parents aren’t taking advantage of
- Why Pinterest might be one of the most overlooked (and concerning) apps
- Roblox - what parents think it is vs. what it actually is
- How Cat & Nat navigated screens and social media with their own kids
If you have kids (or will one day), this is a must-listen.

| 0:38.7 | looking at it it was saying it's geared towards parents of teens and tweens and I am on my way |
| 0:46.7 | to that my low is seven can you explain what the common parent is I'll tell you how it came to be. |
| 0:55.3 | We had children your age and a little bit older. |
| 0:59.4 | And there was nowhere to tell us kind of what was coming, what was happening. |
| 1:03.4 | And it felt like when your kids get older, silence happens because the kids are older |
| 1:08.6 | so they understand what you're saying. |
| 1:10.8 | So when you're saying. |
| 1:14.5 | So when you're younger and you talk about toddlers, everyone universally has toddlers that throw tantrums. |
| 1:16.2 | When they get older and behaviors come up, you're like, is this normal? |
