About this episode

Renee Reina discusses screens and social media with Cat & Nat, focusing on what parents need to know about popular apps used by tweens and teens.

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.
