In today’s episode, we unpack the details and the nuances of a really common struggle in our day to day lives as parents: our kids’ motivation to do tasks like homework, chores, practicing their sport or musical instrument…you know, all the things we find ourselves nagging, bribing or even threatening them about to just check these tasks off our lists. Jenny Drennan, an Educational Therapist in the LA area, reveals the underlying elements that contribute to our kids level of motivation and we go both granular, and big picture about what might be at play and then also how we not only survive the daily grind, but really allow our relationships with our kids to thrive, and to help them unlock their own potential, on their terms.
