Parenting Teens Unfiltered with Cat & Nat

This week, we dove into the powerhouse that is the next generation of girls. Whether it’s the aftermath of Covid shaping their resilience or just the evolution of life, we’ve noticed a shift: we’re seeing young girls who are bold, fierce, and unapologetically themselves. They speak up, stand their ground, and refuse to back down—even when they’re stubborn just to prove a point. It’s inspiring, it’s game-changing, and it’s redefining what the future looks like for girls everywhere!Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

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?

Why do we hold our kids to a higher standard than we hold ourselves when it comes to how we conduct ourselves online? Everywhere you look, there are people dropping negative comments. What if social media just turned off comments for a year—or even just two months? Would we all feel a bit better? Let’s be honest, it’s hard to feel good about yourself after leaving a negative comment. So what’s the real motivation? Are we looking for engagement, a debate, or just reacting to something we don’t agree with?Check out https://www.thecommonparent.com/ for all things parenting.

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, subscribe wherever you listen to your podcasts.How are devices impacting the mental health of our youth? Dr. Alison Yeung, a Family Physician from Ontario, Canada, has noticed a growing number of teen mental health-related visits over the past decade. With kids spending increasing amounts of time on devices, especially on social media, YouTube, and video games, she began research on the topic. What she found raised serious concerns about how these platforms are affecting young minds. Now, Dr. Yeung is dedicated to educating parents, encouraging them to delay their children's exposure to social media, and reducing the harmful effects of handheld device use.
