Stage 3- Module 1: Motivation

The biggest argument I hear from parents who are hesitant to use positive reinforcement is this: shouldn’t they just be intrinsically motivated? This module talks about how to go from the external (rewards) to more intrinsic motivation with our kids.

• Motivation Tip Sheet

No to-do list with this module. Your to-do: think about motivation! What motivates you? What motivates your child to engage in their favorite, preferred activity? How can you use that same motivation to make less preferred things more motivating?

Talk about private events/ feelings. How does it feel when you accomplish something or earn reinforcement? Have these discussions with your child and identify those feelings as they occur. 

Motivate yourself to keep learning! You’re doing GREAT as a parent!!!
