Parenting Teens Unfiltered: Hanging With The Wrong Crowd with Marybeth Bock

Season 9, Ep. 145

Welcome to the NEW podcast all about parenting teens with Cat & Nat. Each week we are going to go over topics that you need to know and bring an expert to break down an important topic. New episodes every Monday, go subscribe wherever you listen to your podcasts.


As our teens get older we face the reality that our voice is no longer the presence it once was and it is now one of many voices in their lives. Influences are everywhere. Their friends matter, like REALLY matter. Friends become everything, whether it be good or bad. Are we watching from afar or are we able to step in and voice our concerns? We brought in Marybeth Bock, Master of Public Health (MPH), to explain why parents should come from a place of being inquisitive rather than judgmental when it comes to who their child is spending their time with. Marybeth writes for numerous websites such as Raising Teens Today, Grown and Flown and Collegiate Parent. For more on Marybeth check out @mbbock.

  • 33. Don’t Share Your Tears With Nat

    38:22||Season 12, Ep. 33
    This week Nat explains how not one but two people broke down in tears right in front of her and while we both understand that emotions can run high, we all know that Nat's not exactly the "let's hug it out" type and clearly after listening today, she's definitely also not the shoulder to cry on type. Nat prefers to shut it down before things get carried away!Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

  • 28. Parenting Unfiltered: Breaking Down Teen Slang

    38:51||Season 12, Ep. 28
    If you’ve ever felt lost in translation with your teens, this episode’s for you! We broke down the often confusing world of teen slang and what your kids actually mean. We also chatted about kids chores (or the fact that they aren't doing any) compared to when we were growing up. Anyone else remember raking leaves so that not one single leaf one was left behind? Let’s just say things are looking a little different these days. If you have a parenting conundrum send it to info@catandnat.ca!Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

Because let’s be honest, that step was an essential part of the experience back in the day! And we are also dying to know: did anyone out there actually wait until the altar for that first kiss? We hear it's a thing. Spill the details—we want to know everything!Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?
