Joined by experts across behavioral, social and mental health topics, momfluencers, authors and podcast hosts Cat and Nat add to their repertoire of parent-specific offerings with the journal launch, which coincides with the revamped Common Parent online community
TORONTO, Oct. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Parents of teens/tweens everywhere now have the opportunity to upgrade their parenting toolkit with the official launch of The Common Parent Journal, available now at http://www.thecommonparent.com. Momfluencers, authors and media personalities Cat + Nat first introduced Common Parent as an online community made up of expert resources to support parents in navigating the behavioral, social and mental health topics their tweens/teens are facing.
Since it was first launched, Common Parent has evolved into a multi-faceted platform that delivers tangible tools to help parents understand, communicate and connect with their children like never before.
"After two years of welcoming our community of parents into the Common Parent member base, we've learned that while the expert resources available to them are highly valuable, they're looking to take those insights a step further and put them into practice in their own homes and lives," said Catherine (Cat) Belknap, Co-Founder of The Common Parent. "During a phase of life when their kids are likely the most distant and craving independence, the Common Parent Journal is a tool for parents to cultivate and maintain connection for relationships based on trust and respect, versus power and control."
The Common Parent Journal allows parents to put pen to paper and start implementing the strategies and tactics they learn from experts, into their own routines. The launch of the Journal coincides with an improved user experience for members to take advantage of, including:
- Expert interviews and talks from counselors, therapists and other professionals on the topics most-affecting your child, during this phase of life
- Easy-access to member resource center, with audio and video interviews, so you can listen on the go
- A weekly email with a round-up of the expert resources, tools and parenting motivation from Cat + Nat
- An all-access community of like-minded parents with most-engaging conversations recapped in email updates
"We're experts by experience – with seven kids between both our families — but lean on the certified therapists, doctors and coaches to get into the nitty gritty on topics parents are faced with during this phase of parenthood; one that seems to be changing by the minute," said Natalie (Nat) Telfer, Co-Founder of The Common Parent. "Our entire brand has always been rooted in authenticity, community and relatability, so the topics we cover off on — mental health, social media, sex, drugs/alcohol, relationships — also reflect that. No topic is too taboo or off limits; it's modern-day parenting and we don't want anyone to have to do it alone."
Spanning various categories, the interviews and articles shared on The Common Parent are kept in a library archive to access on-demand, covering various topics, such as:
- "How To Not Lose It When Your Kids Are Being Disrespectful" with Kirsten Cobabe
- "How to Navigate Anxiety in Kids" with Jake Ernst
- "Creating Healthy Sleep Routines" with Alanna McGinn
- "Body Image and Eating Disorders" with Natalie Rose Allen
"As someone who has worked with tweens/teens and their families for over 30 years in private practice, I know how lost, frustrated and defeated parents can feel when their children reach this highly-individualized and often-overwhelming period of their adolescence," said Ellen Bradley-Windell, LCSW and Clinical Director of Valencia Relationship Institute. "Having a resource like The Common Parent platform and journal to share is more than just an opportunity to access more tools/resources, it's an invitation to join a community of like-minded parents, experiencing similar situations, which — when it comes to your kids' safety and well being — is truly something money can't buy."
