  • How to Give Praise That Builds Real Confidence in Kids
    Jun 10 2025

    Does your child's inner voice say "I can't do this" or "I'm not good enough"?

    Ever wonder if those automatic "good job" responses are actually helping build the confidence you want for your child?

    Hi, I'm Natalie McCabe. In this episode, we're talking about specific praise, why generic compliments fall flat and how to give feedback that actually builds lasting confidence and resilience. I'm sharing the eye-opening classroom story that changed everything I knew about kids and self-talk, plus the exact formula for praise that transforms your child's internal voice.

    Here's what we cover:

    • The shocking discovery: Why half the kids couldn't name a single strength about themselves
    • The difference between "empty calorie" praise and praise that nourishes confidence
    • How to become a "strengths detective" and identify your child's unique gifts
    • The simple 3-part formula for giving strength-based specific praise
    • How to use praise to build resilience during challenging moment
    • Why your voice becomes their internal voice (and how to make it count)

    This isn't about perfect parenting or praising everything your child does. It's about recognizing the unique constellation of strengths your child already has and helping them see those gifts in themselves. Less generic "good jobs." More meaningful recognition. Real confidence building.

    Jun 3 2025

    Is your playroom overflowing, your kids constantly bored, and your days filled with picking up the same toys over and over?

    Ever feel like managing all the “stuff” is stealing your time and peace?

    Hi, I’m Natalie McCabe, and in this episode, we’re talking all things toy rotation—what it is, why it works, and how it can radically simplify your home and your parenting. I’m sharing how fewer toys and smarter systems can reduce meltdowns, spark imagination, and give you back your sanity.

    Here’s what we cover:

    • Why too many toys can actually stress your kids out
    • The magic of toy rotation—and how it helps you reset the playroom without guilt
    • What a “one-shelf system” looks like and why it’s a total game-changer
    • How to simplify birthdays, reduce gift overwhelm, and make space for what really matters
    • Why toy clutter adds to your mental load and how to take back control without doing it all

    This isn’t about being a minimalist or saying “no” to fun. It’s about creating a rhythm in your home that brings peace instead of chaos. Less stress. More play. Real connection.
