Episode 10

So many of our parenting decisions are made in attempt to motivate our children to make healthy choices.

Often we use external motivators — rewards, punishments, nagging, logic — to try to get them to act positively… but those motivators don’t seem to last.

The good news is that instead of trying to get kids to act responsible behavior, you can foster internal motivation (and improve your influence) by simply showing them that they matter. 

In this episode, you’ll learn

• How showing kids that they matter increases our influence and motivates our kids to make healthy choices, even when we’re not around 
• What it means to SHOW, not just tell, your kids that they matter 
• Simple actions you can start to take today to improve your influence and your kids’ motivation
