Episode 32: A Long Game Strategy for Motivating Kids to Do What They’re Supposed To Do


Listen Later

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.
