Report cards don’t define your child — or you.

Hey mama, it’s Natalie McCabe. In this episode of Mom Life Uncomplicated, we’re talking about how to handle your child’s report card in a way that builds confidence, not pressure. Whether the grades are high, low, or all over the place, I’ll show you how to respond with calm, support, and real perspective.

• Why your reaction to grades shapes how your child sees themselves

• How to check your own school baggage before saying anything

• What to say to each child — especially if their grades are very different

• How to praise effort and growth instead of perfection

• When it might be time to ask for extra support

• Simple ways to keep the focus on character and confidence

This episode will help you take the stress out of report card season and strengthen your relationship with your child at the same time.

Does your house feel like a battleground where you're constantly playing referee between sibling fights? Hi, I'm Natalie McCabe. I'm here with Suzie Forbes, a pediatric occupational therapist and mom who discovered that giving kids real power in problem-solving changes everything. In this episode, we're talking about collaborative solutions that actually work with strong-willed kids, specifically how one simple tool can end the daily battles. Here's what we cover:

• "We Have a Problem" method for solving conflicts
• Stolen moments self-care that kids automatically start copying
• Why safety first makes every parenting tool actually work
• How these skills show up in her adult kids today

This isn't about more rules or consequences. It's about partnership that builds lifelong problem-solving skills. Less you fixing everything. More them learning to think it through. Ready to transform those power struggles into connection?
