Unmotivated Children!!!

from How Not to Screw Up Your Kids

I'll share why I think this approach is flawed and might actually back-fire. I'll also share what we should be doing instead. Here are the highlights: (2:20) Mistakes and failure (4:45) Two types of motivation (7:15) Three parental choices (9:50) Setting standards and expectations (14:00) Remember growth mindset (17:45) Mastery goals matter, not performance goals (20:35) Give children a sense of autonomy (23:15) Challenge them just enough 💚 Let's grow our village together, please share this episode with at least one friend 💚 Complete the listener poll to let me know what you'd like in future episodes 💚 You can watch the Bucket Emptying Episodes on Youtube 💚 Access the free resources mentioned in the episodes 💚 Join our campaign One Million Moments to reduce the number of children struggling with mental health challenges from 17% to 10% by 2025 DISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
