Episode 32: A Long Game Strategy for Motivating Kids to Do What They’re Supposed To Do
One of the most frustrating things about being a parent is when we KNOW our kids and teens know how to do the things we ask them to do -- clean their room, put their dishes away, get dressed, do their homework -- yet they don’t do those things. Often we’ve tried multiple strategies to motivate better behavior, but they don’t lead to long-term results... so we’re constantly nagging, threatening punishments, or engaging in power struggles. And it doesn’t feel good for anyone. So let’s try a new strategy -- one that actually addresses the REASON that they are not doing what they’re supposed to do, and helps both us and our kids have a plan for exactly how to handle it if they don’t. In this episode, you’ll learn this step-by-step strategy that will address the obstacles that lead to kids not acting responsible… so that they know how to do the things they’re supposed to do, even when they don’t feel like it.
