Motivation and nagging mix like oil and water. When kids are "motivated" by getting parents to quit nagging, positive motivation disappears. Parents, if you could teach your kids how to be motivated from their inner selves, would you do it?
Today Our Guest, Revitalize!, Tells Us How to Motivate Kids from the Inside: I guess a starting point is helping them find a neutral place within themselves to first see if it's something they really want to achieve or do. If it is, then see if they can sense what is getting in their way - know how, lack of confidence, feeling it's impossible etc. That I feel lets them become engaged in the process of discovery which can be empowering to them - along with taking some of our nagging and insisting out of the equation! (been there, done that!!) - from Revitalize! I Like This Discovery Motivation Method Because:1. This mom is teaching her kids to be mindful, to understand themselves, to go inside.
2. These kids them ask themselves, "Is this goal something I really want?"
3. They make a choice. If they want it but are having trouble achieving the goal,
4. They ask themselves, "What is getting in the way of achieving my goal?"
5. They find out if not knowing how, lacking confidence, feeling it's impossible, or something else is getting in the way.
6. These kids can now solve how to get over the hurdles and achieve their goals.
Parents, What Do You Think of Revilatize's Discovery Method for Motivating Kids?
