050: Where Does Intrinsic Motivation Come From & How Can Your Child Get Some?
The Parenting Presence - A podcast by Julia Pappas, Psychologist & Parent Coach

Categories:
Intrinsic motivation is the thing we think will get our kids to do stuff without us nagging at them. We hope that when kids are intrinsically motivated, the need for extrinsic rewards will go away... Put it simply, all of us wonder where does intrinsic motivation come from and how can our children have some more of it? If you've ever wondered — how can I make my child be motivated without tricks? — then tune into this episode. We explore where intrinsic motivation comes from and what parents can do to facilitate its development. We will also answer the question, which motivation is better — extrinsic or intrinsic. By the way, what do you think? Which one is better? And, why? (Note your answer, and then take a listen to find out mine.) Want more ideas?
