Summary

Rewards just motivate people to get rewards. Bribing needs to escalate to maintain efficacy and will produce an attitude of entitlement. External motivation isn’t entirely bad, but children should be weened off of it once they adopt the desired trait/s. Offering 2-3 options and the ability to choose/take part in tasks whenever possible will increase a child’s internal motivation.

The Soul Mammas Podcast Nicole De Leon: Podcast Host and Fired up Soul Mamma In a world where so many women have shed past notions of what being a mom looks like, who can listeners turn to for real talk on soulful motherhood? Through this weekly podcast, host, Nicole De Leon, a long-time surfer, teacher, yoga instructor, adventurer and now new mother, seeks to candidly talk about the realities of modern motherhood, especially as it affects the pursuit of one’s own interests while remaining a soulful parent. In this podcast, guest moms will share inspiring stories of how they persisted in living out their truest passions and purpose in spite of – and often as a result of – adversity and struggle. Nicole’s hope is that through this podcast mothers will be encouraged to believe in their dreams and prioritize joyful lives in order to teach their children to do the same. In Not Of Jayah Dawson, Ailana Woodard In Not Of is a podcast where two sisters take on modern-day topics with a fresh, faith-filled perspective. We're living in the world, but not of it - so why not talk about it? From culture and current events to everyday struggles, we break it down with biblical truth, real-life revelations, and a little sisterly banter along the way. Tune in for honest conversations, unexpected insights, and a reminder that faith and real life go hand and hand. Precision:me Larry Chu Precision : me is a personal blog project (www.precisionme.org) I started to document the beginning of my journey to become fit. The goal of the project is to share my health data in real-time with the online community with the goal to address misconceptions and misperceptions about obesity and weight loss.As a physician who has struggled with his weight for the past 12 years, I will be the first to acknowledge that knowing how to do something is vastly different from putting knowledge into practice. My goal in precision : me isn’t to show that weight loss is easy or that sustainable weight loss can be done quickly. Please note: this is not a “follow along” health hack. You need to have a medical doctor supervise everything I’m sharing in this blog. Don’t even think about doing this on your own.Instead, I hope to show how today’s modern digital health tools can provide people with tons of data that can be used to drive precision plans to improve health. Although this blog is on Connection Stories Connection Stories Real-life Stories from Real-life People. Modern society with its text messaging, social media, and virtual reality has caused individuals to become isolated, even from their own neighbors. Let's reverse that trend! Our podcast is all about connecting neighbors in the Falcon Ridge and nearby subdivisions in Layton, Utah. Tune in as neighbors share real stories about struggles and successes in their personal lives. We hope that as you tune in you'll find it easier to get out and speak to your neighbors in person and make more meaningful connections.
