Practical over perfect
We won't tell you to ban screens. We'll tell you what setting to change today.
We started The Common Parent because parenting in a digital world shouldn't feel like a second job.
Our story
Every parent we know is trying to figure out the same things: how much screen time is actually okay, what their kids are doing on Roblox or Discord, whether AI tools are helping or hurting, and how to find balance in a super connected world. The advice out there is either alarmist or years out of date. We built The Common Parent to be neither. It's a resource for current, practical, and judgment-free guidance you can implement today.
Our approach
Current, not recycled
Platforms change constantly. Our guides update as the apps your kids use actually change.
No judgment, ever
However you're parenting through this, you're not behind. You're just busy.
Who's behind it
Cat & Nat are two moms with seven kids between them, who got overwhelmed by the pace of this stuff and decided to hand parents what they wished they'd had.
