One of the hardest parts of parenting can be motivating your child to do just about anything other than play with friends, hang out on a screen, or raid the pantry for his favorite snacks.
If you’re tired of feeling like you constantly have to nag at your child to get him to be productive with helping around the house, doing school work, or really mastering anything he finds challenging, with a little change in perspective and following a three step formula, you can start to change this.
The key is rather simple. You need to show your child that he’s in control. That he can do things he feels are a struggle or just undesirable, and that the outcome actually makes him feel good.
All you’re really doing here is establishing a new habit in your child. A habit of knowing that he can problem solve on his own, and that doing so feels pretty good.
Whatever it is that your child needs motivation on can be accomplished by this three step process.
1. Set a Goal
2. Give Encouragement and Guidance
3.Reinforce positive outcomes
